Political Donations in Australia: What the Australian Electoral Commission Disclosures Reveal and What They Don't

The transparent disclosure of political donations is an important anti‐corruption measure. However Australia's current disclosure system has been too poor to sustain rigorous empirical analysis by either journalists or researchers. The barriers to analysis lie in the data collected and in how it is disclosed to the public. This article seeks to give an overview of the transparency problems in the disclosures. It then outlines what limited insights can be gleaned about the political donations landscape. It finds that donations are dominated by the federal election cycle, transparently declared donations make up a small and declining proportion of parties’ incomes at 12–15%, and the amount of money going entirely undisclosed is more than 50% and growing. It also finds indications of paying for access and donor strikes being used to punish government that require further research.     

英美民事证据开示若干问题研析

作为实现司法正义的重要手段,英美的民事证据开示制度发挥了关键作用。从"形而上"的角度看,该制度背后最基本的理念是FairPlay精神。本文主要从微观角度对证据开示的一些具体制度,即开示的主体、对象、范围、时限要求、法定例外、有关专家证言是否开示、相关会议安排以及对滥用开示制度的法律制裁等进行研讨。证据开示制度内容丰富,程序严谨,有利于平等保护双方当事人的权益,值得我国学习和借鉴。

紫外分光光度法测定辛伐他汀渗透泵型控释片的体外释放度

目的:建立用紫外分光光度法测定辛伐他汀渗透泵型控释片体外释放度的方法。方法:以5.0 g/L十二烷基硫酸钠水溶液为释放递质,转速100 r/min;递质温度37℃。根据《中华人民共和国药典》2005版二部附录XC转篮法操作,分别于0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,3.0,4.0,6.0,8.0,12.0,24.0 h取样10 ml,及时补加同温度、同体积的相应递质。取续滤液稀释适当倍数,按照《中华人民共和国药典》2005版二部附录ⅣA分光光度法,在238 nm波长处测定吸光度,根据标准曲线计算不同时间样品液浓度,计算药物的累积释放百分率Q。结果:浓度在2.048~16.384μg/ml时,辛伐他汀-5.0 g/L十二烷基硫酸钠溶液的浓度与吸收度线性关系良好:c=16.591 0A-0.038 3(r=0.999 8),回收率与精密度良好。结论:紫外分光光度法可准确地测定辛伐他汀渗透泵型控释片的体外释放度。     

我国证券法对选择性信息披露问题的立法研究--以美国证券立法为视角

新修订的《证券法》设专章规定了信息披露问题,强调应充分披露投资者作出价值判断和投资决策所必需的公司信息,但并未对上市公司违反选择性信息披露的行为做出明确规定,无法从根本上抑制不公平的公司信息披露行为。为此,应当通过制定《证券法实施细则》对此加以明确和规范。分析美国证券法上对选择性信息披露的规制,并以此为借鉴对我国在《证券法实施细则》中明确选择性信息披露模式提出建设性设想。     

GAMETE DONORS AND MISTAKEN IDENTITIES: THE IMPORTANCE OF GENETIC AWARENESS AND PROPOSALS FAVORING DONOR IDENTITY DISCLOSURE FOR CHILDREN BORN FROM GAMETE DONATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES

The technological advent of artificial reproduction has resulted in a substantial increase of children born from gamete donation. Studies conducted overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom, have explored the controversy as to whether or not such children have the right to know the identity of their donor parents. This article discusses the consequences of donor disclosure and donor privacy for both the parents and children. Currently, there is a lack of U.S. state legislation on the issue. While studies remain inconclusive, research indicates that counseling for the parties involved and the promulgation of state statutes may be beneficial.     

Endless Sex: The Gender Recognition Act 2004 and the Persistence of a Legal Category

This paper challenges a view of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 as involving an unequivocal shift from the concept of sex to the concept of gender in law’s understanding of the distinction between male and female. While the Act does move in the direction of gender, and ostensibly in an obvious way through abandoning surgical preconditions for legal recognition, it will be argued that the Act retains and deploys the concept of sex. Moreover, it will be argued that the concept of sex retained is not merely an anatomical understanding, but sex in a biological sense. In this respect the Gender Recognition Act can be viewed as embodying a tension between gender and sex. Further, it is contended that this tension is explicable in terms of irresolution of contrary legal desires to reproduce the gender order and to insulate marriage and heterosexuality from homosexuality in the moment of reform.     

基金股票质押融资的法律规制

基金股票质押融资可分为长期融资和短期融资,两者应适用不同的法律规则。各国对基金长期融资的规制,采取了兴利除弊的方式。一方面允许基金在合理范围内的长期融资,另一方面又限制基金获得过度的长期融资。对开放式基金的短期融资有必要进行特别的法律规制。长期融资的决定权其行使权利的机构是基金份额持有人大会,短期融资的决定权是基金管理人。     

论上市公司收购中一致行动的法律规制

由于证卷市场固有的缺陷 ,证券立法对公司收购进行全面规制就成为一种必然。然而 ,我国现行证券立法的缺憾之一就是缺乏对上市公司收购中一致行动的明确规定。宝延风波表明对一致行动进行规制已成为现实的需求。为了保障投资者利益 ,维护证券市场秩序 ,我们必须建立规制一致行动的法律制度。     

论公司法上债权人保护制度

保护公司债权人的利益是公司法立法宗旨之一。我国公司法中的债权人保护制度不尽完善,且其有效性受到了前所未有的质疑和挑战。因此改变主要依靠公司资本三原则保护公司债权人的制度体系,强化公司设立、运营、清算等各个阶段公司债权人的保护制度,并增加公司人格否定制度,强化公司董事责任制度,建立公司债债权人保护制是完善我国公司法上债权人保护制度的几个重要方面。
