“开瓶费”现象的法律思考

“开瓶费”现象引起了社会的广泛关注和激烈争论。我们可以从民法、消费者权益保护法、反不正当竞争法、价格法等视角对这一现象进行思考。不能笼统地认为酒店收取“开瓶费”合法与否，应结合“开瓶费”这一格式条款的作出主体、酒店是否履行了告知义务、是否违反了价格法的强制规定等具体分析。我国应完善相关立法，对“开瓶费”这一问题作出明确规定，并建立相应的司法救济机制。

Exploring the Contribution of State and Local-level Conditions to the Adoption of Different Types of Smart Growth Policies and Impact Fees in the United States

This research identifies some of the state and local conditions promoting the adoption of three types of smart growth policies and two types of impact fees in the United States. Factor analysis is used to identify three types of smart growth policies:

1. policies to concentrate new growth,

2. policies to exchange development rights and

3. policies to redevelop the inner city.

The two types of impact fees are: development-based and community-based. Conditions at both the state and local level predict the adoption of smart growth policies. Only conditions at the state level predict the adoption of the community-based impact fees. The findings suggest that future research on the impact of population growth on growth regulation contain measures of both local and state level growth. They also suggest smart growth be viewed as multi-dimensional, as cities adopt different types of policies, rather than the complete set of policies, for economic as well as environmental reasons. Last, more research is needed on the role of local environmentalist organizations, whose role in local policy adoption was significant.     

Donald Davidson and section 2.01 of the model penal code

Abstract

In a 1967 article that is considered a classic of criminal justice scholarship, Abraham Blumberg portrayed defense attorneys for accused offenders as more responsive to the demands of the court entourage for smooth and expeditious functioning than to the needs of their clients for a stalwart representation. The article suggests that Blumberg's view, while provocative and with a considerable element of accuracy, may have reflected a somewhat jaundiced and overstated perspective when he was on the verge of leaving law practice for academia. The article also speculates about the current accuracy of Blumberg's observations.     

对新型农村合作医疗费用报销制度的反思

新型农村合作医疗费用报销制度属于社会保障制度以及行政给付的范畴,与我们的生活息息相关,并能在一定程度上反映宪法规定的公民享有的社会保障权的实现情况.目前,新型农村合作医疗费用报销制度在报销范围、报销程序、报销比例等方面存在一定问题,本文认为,门诊费用一律不报销的做法过于笼统,在现实运作中不利于保障行政相对人的合法权益;医疗费用先由患者垫付再到当地报销的规定不合理;医疗费用的报销比例因医疗机构所属的行政区划不同而不同,这样的规定也值得商榷.     

社会抚养费征收的宪法学思考——以湖北省最高额社会抚养费征收事件为视角

社会抚养费的征收行为在我国一直存有广泛的争议,争议主要集中在征收的性质、征收依据的合宪性等问题上,这些问题直接关系社会抚养费征收的定位和正当性,而湖北省发生的最高额社会抚养费征收事件正是其典型事例。社会抚养费的征收应当属于宪法上义务性征收的范畴,该案中高额社会抚养费征收的依据是《湖北省人口与计划生育条例》,从法律保留原则和平等保护原则的视角来看,该条例在形式上和实质上都具有合宪性。

推进行政收费设定权法治化简

治理乱收费行为应从规范行政收费设定权入手。实践中，行政收费设定主体众多、层级较低，且设定主体之间权限划分不清等问题依然存在，究其原因，主要是行政主体缺乏对行政收费设定权的统一规定，况且财政供给的不足以及设定主体内部的利益驱动，也促使政府“按需设费”。因此，我国应尽快制定《行政收费法》，对行政收费设定权进行统一规范，按照《立法法》的规定，确定行政收费设定权主体，明确行政收费设定权的权限范围，且在行使行政收费设定权时必需遵循公开原则。
