司法鉴定主体格局的中国模式——以刑事诉讼法为范本的分析

2012年修正的《刑事诉讼法》对司法鉴定制度作出修改.司法鉴定制度改革选择了一种新路径,即初步确立了司法鉴定主体格局的中国模式:选择了一种以鉴定人为主、专家辅助人为辅的司法鉴定主体格局,由二者共同为案件中涉及的专门知识问题服务.然而,配套制度的缺憾可能造成这种模式选择希冀凸显的立法理念不能完全表达,期盼达到的目标不能完全实现.     

Performance of Public–Private Partnerships and the Influence of Contractual Arrangements

This article seeks to answer two research questions: does public-private partnerships (ppp) live up to its promises to government? How do contractual arrangements affect ppp performance? We propose a conceptual framework to evaluate ppp performance by comparing actual project outcomes to government goals in initiating the partnerships, and to explore how a set of contractual arrangements affect the ppp performance on each identified goal. The framework is applied to a comparative case analysis of highway ppp experiences in the commonwealth of virginia (us) since the 1990s. The results show that these ppp cases were successful in accessing innovative finance, but their performance was mixed on reducing construction risk and transferring revenue risk. Generally improved over time with later projects, the ppp performance was affected not only by interaction among contractual arrangements –private partner selection, financial arrangements, role division, risk allocation, and project characteristics – but also by authorizing and supportive legislation in the policy domain.

台湾地区民法错误论评析及其借鉴——一个基于法律史和学术史的考察

电商标价错误案引发两岸民法学界对传统意思表示错误制度之共同关注.台湾地区民法错误论源自罗马法一德国法传统,并受到日本法的一定影响.在错误类型上,台湾地区民法沿袭德国“内容错误”与“表示行为错误”之界分,性质错误“视为”内容错误.在错误撤销上,创造性地增加了表意人过失要件之限制,相对人之可归责性亦成为影响表意人行使撤销权之考量要素.两岸民法错误论存在着内生机理上的共通,使得大陆民法错误论寻求台湾地区经验之借鉴成为可能.
