信息披露侵权民事赔偿责任探析

对信息披露侵权者追究民事赔偿责任,是保护投资者权益的价值要求。在最终确认民事赔偿责任承担时,要考虑证券市场的特殊性,从而对信息披露侵权民事赔偿责任作出不同于一般侵权民事责任的特殊认定:合理界定违反信息披露的范围和标准,强调责任主体与违反信息披露的关联性,灵活处理损失的计算方法,以信赖推定原则认定因果关系,归责原则要有利于投资者权益的实现。     

Limited Liability in California 1928-31: It's the Lawyers

Only in 1931 was the California Corporate Code revised to providefor limited liability. In earlier work I found that this movehad no detectable effect on shareholder wealth. In this articleI examine the potential beneficiaries of this change with aneye toward finding out who wanted this change. Using this historicalexample we can shed light on a number of issues including: (1)the economic impact of limited liability; (2) the role of lawyers,especially lawyers of high prestige, in determining the law;and (3) the competition or lack thereof among states in designingtheir corporate codes.     

New directions in policing fraud: The emergence of the counter fraud specialist in the United Kingdom

Fraud and corruption in the public sector have become issues of increasing importance for the government in the United Kingdom. Numerous initiatives have emerged ranging from high profile publicity campaigns against benefit fraud and tax evasion to the establishment of specialist bodies, such as the NHS Counter Fraud and Security Management Service (NHSCFSMS). One of the most interesting developments, however, has been the emergence of the ‘counter fraud specialist (CFS)’ across central and local government, as well as the private sector. These are specially trained civilian personnel who are tasked to prevent, investigate and secure sanctions against fraudsters. They undertake common training packages and are accredited by the Counter Fraud Professional Accreditation Board (CFPAB). This paper first outlines the emergence of the CFS; then draws upon the results of recent survey data to discuss some of their characteristics. The paper also considers some of the main issues raised by the growth of the CFS including the possible emergence of an embryonic ‘fraud police’, the indirect ‘load shedding’ of fraud investigation and the governance of this new breed of policing personnel.

Public corruption and fraud in the Netherlands: Research and results

Empirical research by social scientists on public corruption and fraud in the Netherlands has been scarce. Exceptions are research on criminal cases of corruption and, recently, a survey among local government functionaries to establish the extent of public corruption and fraud in the country. The article presents the conceptual framework and the results of this survey research on local corruption and fraud. A discussion of the findings concludes the article: How serious is the problem of Dutch public corruption and fraud? To stimulate comparative research, the questionnaire is added in an Appendix.     

Insurance fraud in Taiwan: Reflections on regulatory effort and criminological complexity

The nature and prevalence of insurance fraud has been studied only to a limited extent, even in the USA and Europe. Nevertheless, national authorities have pressed ahead with various approaches to control such fraud. This paper briefly outlines the nature and difficulties around measurement of insurance fraud and reviews key international trends in the regulation of fraud. It then presents the findings of an empirical study of insurance fraud in Taiwan and recent proposals for anti-fraud control. It analyses these findings in the context of actual practices of insurance companies which give evidence to the idea that ‘moral hazard’ is embedded in the institutional arrangements, social relationships, and moral economies of private insurance.     

Following up on interests: The private agreement exemption in ontario securities law

This paper uses insights from cultural theories of regulation and critical legal studies to argue that regulatory outcomes are not adequately explained by the activities of dominant interest groups. A more dynamic conception of the relationship between interests and ideas, especially legal ones, is required. Discursive shifts among languages of entrepreneurship, ownership, fairness, and market credibility are shown to be consequential for the outcome of the reform debate examined, not least because of the importance of these ideas, variously interpreted, in shaping the positions of interest groups.     

对动物致害责任归责原则的反思

动物致害责任是一种特殊侵权责任,我国民法通则对此作了明确规定。但是在动物致害责任的归责原则问题上,有待深入探讨。通过对大陆法系与英美法系动物致害责任归责原则的比较考察,结合我国动物致害责任归责原则的现状,有必要对我国的动物致害责任归责原则进行重新定位,应当采纳无过错责任与过错推定二元的归责原则体系。     

责任保险中的连带责任承担问题——以机动车商业三责险条款为分析样本

当责任保险中的被保险人与共同致害人一起对受害第三人承担连带责任时,保险合同格式条款能否将该连带责任从保险责任中加以排除,这是司法实践中存在较大争议的问题。争议的焦点在于,机动车商业三责险等一般责任保险中的按责赔付条款能否在司法判决中得到承认并加以适用。通过对责任保险的责任内涵及责任保险独特的摆脱不利等保障功能的分析,从责任保险格式条款内容控制的角度,主张连带责任的免除条款构成格式条款的意外免责条款,其免责效力不应得到承认而应受到限制。     

侵权按份责任诉讼形态研究——以《侵权责任法》第12条的司法适用为中心

侵权按份责任具有内外关系上的按份性,是其与连带责任、不真正连带责任、补充责任的重要区别。在诉讼形态的选择上,针对内外关系上的按份性,有适用必要共同诉讼与普通共同诉讼两种对立的观点。案例分析表明,实践中对待侵权按份责任所适用诉讼形态亦呈现出多样化、任意化的特点,未形成统一做法。其原因包括我国缺少将债与诉讼形态相联系这一大陆法系的基本方式,且我国民事程序法的诉讼形态规定过于粗疏而缺乏可操作性。应采取特殊化、具体化的解释路径解决此问题,允许权利人起诉全部或部分按份责任人承担责任。基于纠纷的一次性解决和权利实现的可能性,撤回部分起诉应受到时间和具体理由的限制。在权利人部分起诉时,基于查明事实和保障其他侵权人利益的目的,其他侵权人可以无独立请求权第三人的身份加入诉讼。在存在未知名侵权人时,适用单独诉讼,直接对此作出裁判。
