Beyond the Real and the Paper Deal: The Quest for Contextual Coherence in Contractual Interpretation

Contract lawyers are often divided between two schools of thought: formalism and contextualism. In the realm of contractual interpretation, this division illuminates various debates surrounding the modern contextual approach. Ultimately, however, the divide between the ‘real and the paper deal’ does not fully reflect the relevant fault lines. The real contest is between rival interpretations attempting to make the most coherent sense of the available text and context surrounding the document. In characterising the true nature of the exercise, I draw upon theories of coherence to articulate a framework of ‘contextual coherence’ that involves concepts of competing narratives, the rational motivations of the parties, and the need for a holistic assessment of the best hypothesis, in accordance with the English courts’ ‘iterative approach’ to interpretation. I demonstrate that this framework enables us to explain and evaluate recent cases such as the UK Supreme Court decision of Arnold v Britton.     

刑事诉权初探

现代诉权是宪法性权利,刑事诉权也不例外。刑事诉权的概念不能简单借鉴其他诉权的概念,它应等同于自诉权与公诉权之和,是指刑事纠纷的当事人因权益受侵害,依法请求国家专门机关通过诉讼方式依正当程序解决该刑事纠纷和附带民事诉讼纠纷,并最终由裁判机关依法做出裁决的宪法性基本权利。从最终意义上讲,刑事纠纷的最终解决机关应当是法院,但在审前程序中,又不应当仅仅限于法院。刑事诉权具有主体多样性、内部关系复杂性、阶段性、其他诉权的后盾与保障等特征。对于当事人诉权主体而言,刑事诉权是基本人权在刑事诉讼中的具体化。当事人适格及诉的利益是其必备要素。     

‘Hurry no man's cattle’: British rule and suicide in China

The British authorities in the leased territory of Weihaiwei were concerned that too many Chinese, particularly women, resorted to suicide. In response, they made it obligatory to report suicides, educated the public and the police on how to effect rescues, and appointed a medical assistant with special responsibility for suicide rescue work. In spite of being remarkably well informed of the social significance of suicide in China, government efforts to deal with the causes of suicide were limited. In particular, the government did little to alter the circumstances of women in the territory. They provided few opportunities for education and were reluctant to prohibit foot-binding or to discourage families from putting pressure on widows to remarry. The limited response of the government to the problem of suicide was consistent with its general administrative policy of effecting little change to the fabric of life in the Chinese villages. The fact that the magistrates, in their treatment of suicide, expressed a deference to Chinese law, was part and parcel of the same general policy of the British administration of Weihaiwei.     

An Empty Shell? Rethinking the Usury Laws in Medieval Europe

Abstract

Many historians have argued that the usury laws were a dead letter and that usurious practices were widespread during the Middle Ages. This review of canonical rule formation in Europe shows that many contracts were outside the prohibition and that the laws were highly effective. The popularity of financial instruments depended on obtaining the Church's approval, and ecclesiastical tribunals pursued usurers relentlessly. Although it is not possible to measure with any precision the incidence of usury or the effectiveness of the prohibition, arguments of a high incidence of usury do not stand up in the light of evidence from the contemporary legal context.

村规民约:国家法与民族习惯法调适的路径选择——以融水苗族村规民约对财产权的规定为视角

广西融水苗族村规民约在财产权保护上十分重视,以较大篇幅对财产权的保护以及财产权纠纷的规制进行规定,在承继和发展苗族习惯法有益部分的基础上有力地维护了村民利益,同时明确地将自己定位在国家法的框架内,逐步向国家法治靠拢.因此,对广西融水苗族村规民约的阐述更明确了村规民约作为国家法与少数民族习惯法不断调适的首要选择和最佳途径.     

受欺诈、胁迫民事法律行为效力形态的制度体系化

《民法典》颁布之前,不同民事立法对于受欺诈、胁迫的民事法律行为效力形态分别予以规定,没有实现受欺诈、胁迫的民事法律行为效力形态制度的体系化.这导致了该制度所体现的民事立法价值的不一致,也不利于对该制度的正确理解和适用.《民法典》对于受欺诈、胁迫的民事法律行为效力形态的不同规范进行有效整合,并构建了受欺诈、胁迫的民事法律...
