Zum Machtwechsel in einer Aktiengesellschaft innerhalb eines Konzerns – Mietzinsanhebung

Eine ?nderung der rechtlichen Entscheidungsm?glichkeiten im Sinn des § 12a Abs 3 MRG liegt dann vor, wenn es dem Machttr?ger aufgrund seiner gesellschaftsrechtlichen Position m?glich ist, die Geschicke der Gesellschaft faktisch zu bestimmen; dies wird in der Regel beim "Kippen der Mehrheitsverh?ltnisse" angenommen.     

Zur Änderung der Machtverhältnisse in einer Kommanditgesellschaft

Der Kommanditist hat keinen Einfluss auf die laufende gew?hnliche Gesch?ftst?tigkeit der Gesellschaft, sondern nur ein Widerspruchsrecht gegen Handlungen des pers?nlich haftenden Gesellschafters, wenn sie über den gew?hnlichen Betrieb des Unternehmens der Gesellschaft hinausgehen (§ 164 UGB). Eine Prokura des Kommanditisten ?ndert daran nichts.     

Asian Criminology – Challenges, Opportunities, and Directions

Despite considerable advances in the field of criminology in Asia over the past few decades, the pace of growth has been quite slow compared with the rapid development of the field in North America and Europe. This paper discusses key features of the Asian context as they are related to the development of criminology in Asia. The paper examines the major challenges that Asia’s diverse culture, legal traditions, crimes, and crime control pose for development of criminology in Asia. It also discusses the opportunities afforded by the Asian context. The paper proposes general strategies in response to the challenges. The author suggests the importance of moving towards a unified paradigm of Asian Criminology. The Asian Journal of Criminology aims to play an instrumental role in this process of advancing Asian criminology.

Digital provenance – interpretation,verification and corroboration

This paper defines the attributes that are required to provide ‘good’ provenance. The various sources that may be used to verify the provenance of digital information during the investigation of a Microsoft^® Windows^® based computer system are presented. This paper shows how provenance can be corroborated by artefacts which indicate how a computer system was connected to the outside world and the capabilities that it provided to a user. Finally consideration is given to a number of commonly used forensic tools and shows how they represent the provenance of information to an investigator.

Open access to public documents – More secrecy,less transparency!

Prospects are grim for greater access to public documents. The recent initiatives of the Council of Europe to enact a new international convention on access to public documents and recent proposal by the European Commission to revise the law on public access would actually narrow the right of access. The proposed laws would allow governments and the EU Commission to increase its discretionary power to control the flow of information. The draft CoE Convention sets an overly-low standard and restricts information held in electronic databases if the information is not “easily retrievable” or does not “logically belong together”. Similarly, the proposed amendments to the EU Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents would exclude access to documents that do not appear on a register. This would give the EU Commission a wide discretion to share documents informally with a limited number of people, such as interest groups. The Commission's proposal would relieve the EU institutions of its current obligation to show concretely the harm that would occur as a result of disclosure when refusing access to documents. The new proposal has been criticised for subordinating transparency rules to data legislation. The proposals initiated under the Swedish leadership would be a step backwards for transparency.

Sexsomnia – a forensic psychiatric challenge – a case report

In rare penal cases, a defendant makes a claim that he or she was asleep at the time of an alleged crime. This article discusses a case of alleged sexsomnia where a man claimed that he had been asleep during a sexual encounter (rape) with a woman. The question that often arises during an investigation and in court is how complex a behaviour is someone able to perform and still be asleep? To assist the court in answering this question, forensic psychiatric experts may be appointed. But the experts were not present during the act and must therefore consider each case on the basis of the available information and existing research. This paper provides a brief overview of the research regarding sexsomnia. It will also discuss what kind of information is important to elaborate in these cases in order to clarify the premises for the experts’ conclusions to the court.
