In this paper, we distinguish three regulatory measures to reduce such ingredients in food and population intakes: the labelling of an ingredient, a limit on the amount of the ingredient in food products and a ban on the production technology that creates the ingredient. We will compare the regulations promulgated in the US and in the EU to reduce trans fats in food and population intakes. This comparison will identify a common focus on scientific risk assessment and precautionary action but a different orientation towards regulating the internal market and towards producer interests. The comparison also lays bare differences in the regulatory systems of the US and the EU that may inspire US and EU regulators to reflect on possible improvements for future fights against legal but harmful food ingredients.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45898516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the US, for instance, it has been suggested that a plaintiff bringing a claim based on a defective warning should be required to prove which reasonable alternative warning would have prevented her from suffering harm. While much can be said in favour of a more refined approach to product warnings, these proposals are incompatible with many key characteristics of positive European product liability law as construed by the Court of Justice of the European Union. These scholars' recommendations invite us to reconsider some of the features of European product liability law and decide upon a direction for the future.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44493740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasingly used to pursue goals other than its primary aim of compensation, tort law is no exception to the general trend of instrumentalisation of private law. This instrumentalisation is a dual phenomenon that has developed both out of top-down and bottom-up impulses. Although specific questions may arise for each of these two movements, they encounter a common limit. Tort law’s primary compensatory function fundamentally restricts instrumentalisation. Other functions, such as enforcement or prevention, which come to the fore in the battle against legal but potentially lethal products and services, are grafted onto this primary function and can only be pursued insofar as they are compatible with it. This relates to the tension created by pursuing public goals through tort law as an essentially private law instrument. Attention is needed not to overstretch tort law’s prerequisites, which are coherent with its private law embedding, which would turn tort law into a dangerous passe-partout.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49468072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This socioeconomic model inherently contains an initial promise that social objectives – in addition to economic objectives – have an important role to play in creating this context. Whilst aiming to contribute to social objectives and, thus, shape their part of this economy, public authorities are frequently faced with the possibilities and the often emphasised limitations of public economic law, which most prominently includes EU public procurement law, EU state aid law and EU competition law. This contribution considers the legal tensions that can arise when these authorities aim to pursue social objectives within the remit of these fields of law. Based on the areas of sustainability and employment, it argues that public economic law contains various suitable instruments for the pursuit of these objectives, but also that differences still exist between how a balance is struck between the ‘economic’ and the ‘social’, thereby creating obstacles for public authorities and their social agenda.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48385490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radziewicz","doi":"10.18352/ULR.498","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18352/ULR.498","url":null,"abstract":"The Polish legal order distinguishes between two types of incomplete regulations: legislative omissions and oversights. Omissions take place when a regulation (required because of the need for the application of the Constitution or for the performance of specific constitutional obligations) is missing in the system of law. Legislative oversights occur when a normative act is in force but, from the constitutional point of view, it is formulated fragmentarily. The former are not subject to Constitutional Tribunal (CT) control, whereas the latter are embraced by its competence. The existence of incomplete regulations is one of the most important yet still unresolved problems faced by the CT. Therefore, it constitutes a permanent source of discrepancies in CT judgments. The article posits that all incomplete regulations – both omissions and oversights – should be controlled by the CT. However, for the CT to do so, the Constitution should be amended, a special control procedure should be established and a new type of judgment should be introduced, which would consist of finding a statute unconstitutional without derogating it from the system of law. The expansion of the CT’s competence corresponds with the function and axiology of the operation of a contemporary constitutional court that should effectively and completely eliminate all violations of the Constitution arising from inactivity by the legislator.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42819239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This general shift from written and spoken language to ‘visual language’ in society has been of interest to language and communication researchers for years. Within the domain of law, however, a lot of the language and communication literature is traditionally focused on written and spoken language. In the first part of this paper we provide a theoretical background in which we discuss how people understand images, what visual literacy means, how images can have persuasive power and can influence people in terms of their emotions, attitudes and decision-making and we talk about how this can play a role in court. Furthermore, we illustrate some gaps in the literature. In the second part of the paper we show, based on a small-scale ethnographic study and systematic observation, how often visualisations are part of the case file in Dutch hearings, what types of images are talked about and/or shown and by whom they are introduced during the hearing. We conclude by discussing what communication scholars find interesting about these observations and we also suggest a number of research opportunities that may be of interest for interdisciplinary research amongst law and communication scholars.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49205485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the concept has gained mass acceptance and recognition, the actual legal significance and application is still very much unclear. In Article 53 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, peremptory norms are defined as those which are ‘non-derogable’ but nevertheless require the ‘acceptance and recognition’ from the international community as a whole. This process of acceptance and recognition had to be developed through state practice and judgments from international courts and tribunals. Accordingly, this article examines how jus cogens has been interpreted by those actors, without ignoring the contributions from academic scholarship and reports of the International Law Commission. Through analysing these sources, it becomes clear that the task of clarifying the content and legal meaning of the concept is continuously being deferred amongst the relevant actors. After demonstrating this tendency, the remaining sections of the article discuss why this is happening, whether it is forth fixing and if so how that change could come about.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43102730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Policastro","doi":"10.18352/ULR.490","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18352/ULR.490","url":null,"abstract":"The personal scope of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the Charter) is an area that still needs to be defined by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The issue surrounding the personal scope entails the question of who can claim the protection of fundamental rights. A particularly controversial matter has proved to be the question whether, and if so under what circumstances, private legal entities and public authorities can invoke fundamental rights. This article aims to provide a detailed examination of the ‘landscape’ the CJEU must take into account when dealing with the personal scope of the Charter in the future. Firstly, this landscape is made up of the background and objectives of the EU and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) legal systems. Secondly, it is shaped by the personal scope application of the Charter as interpreted by the CJEU so far, and the personal scope application of the ECHR as interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Finally, the application by Member State courts of fundamental rights, via the Charter, ECHR and constitutional rights, forms an element in this landscape. An examination of these aspects will provide answers to the question of how the three main players on the European fundamental rights stage – the CJEU, the ECtHR and the national courts – have applied the personal scope of their fundamental rights up to now. This also encompasses answers to the question of how these applications relate to the different background and objectives of the ECHR and the EU legal systems. These answers will provide the CJEU with tools to deliver well-informed rulings on the personal scope of Charter provisions in the future.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46231848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, these cover drug and alcohol dependence issues, mental disorder and youth and early independence vulnerabilities. This paper presents a critical analysis of three specific forms of problem-solving practiced in the English and Welsh court system – youth sentence review panels, the Family Drug and Alcohol courts and adult drugs courts. Empirical research is used to discuss the effectiveness and outcomes of these court approaches and argues realistic expectations in terms of what is considered ‘success’ for those attempting to become drug free, or establish conventional pathways and desist from crime, is essential. The barriers and obstacles preventing a more extensive application of problem-solving criminal justice is also discussed, drawing on points connected to sentencing parameters, ‘political will’ and legal cultural impediments. It is suggested if problem-solving justice is to become more widely established in local and geographical areas of need, alterations are needed to the way court innovation is enabled. Specifically, closer working relations between the professional judiciary and the large body of volunteer ‘lay’ magistrates who preside over much lower criminal court judging in England and Wales is necessary.","PeriodicalId":44535,"journal":{"name":"Utrecht Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42884317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
