Rectifying the Course of Rectification

In Daventry District Council v Daventry & District Housing Ltd [2011] EWCA Civ 1153, the majority of the Court of Appeal held that a contract should be rectified because of a common mistake. This note discusses that decision and recent developments in the law of rectification. It is argued that the approach of the majority in Daventry is unsatisfactory, and that an emphasis upon ascertaining whether the parties have objectively made a common mistake may be inappropriate: rectification should only be granted in order to reflect the parties’ subjective intentions. Such an approach might help to distinguish common mistake rectification from unilateral mistake rectification.     

基于唯物史观的我国少数民族心理变迁探析

在社会转型和现代化的背景下,少数民族的心理变迁成为我国社会变迁的一个重要层面。在唯物史观的视野中,少数民族心理的生成是被在实践中形成的生产方式、交往方式和民族文化影响和制约着的。然而,随着实践方式即生产方式、交往方式的变迁与民族文化的变迁,我国少数民族出现了对生产方式变迁和民族文化延续性断裂的不适、哀伤和惆怅的心理,以及由此带来的对身份认同的茫然和迷惘。对我国少数民族心理变迁的社会现象,我们应以唯物史观为指导去分析它产生的历史必然性,辩证认识少数民族心理变迁的作用和影响,积极培育适应城市化与现代化、符合历史必然性的少数民族心理。     

Some technological implications for ascertaining the contents of contracts in web-based transactions

This paper points out some unexpected relationships between specific aspects of contract law and specific Internet-related technologies. The discussion is not about the interplay between “Law” and “Technology,” or the “Law” and the “Internet.” The aim is modest: to identify some theoretical chokepoints created by the technologies involved in web-based commerce and to point out the legal uncertainties persisting in this area. The analysis is confined to the process of contract formation, not to matters of substantive law. It is during this process that parties assume their contractual obligations and the contents of a contract crystallize.     

“合同法”教学与新形势下司法考试的对接

在校本科生参加国家举办的司法考试,势必会影响到课堂中的法学教学。所以,在＂合同法＂的授课中,应当坚持理论传授的主要目的,兼顾学生参加司法考试的需要,适度地压缩理论知识的灌输,增加对课程辅导,相应调整考核方式,借助多种方式进行课后交流。     

Intimate Partner Violence and Psychological Health in a Sample of Asian and Caucasian Women: The Roles of Social Support and Coping

This study examined the potential mediating effects of social support and coping strategies on the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and psychological outcomes. A sample of 100 Caucasian women and 61 Asian women were recruited from domestic violence agencies. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed model. Analysis of the combined group revealed that there was an indirect effect of the level of violence on psychological outcomes via the mediating variables of perceived social support and passive coping strategies. Ethnic group comparisons, however, indicated differences between Caucasian and Asian women. In the Caucasian group, the level of violence had an indirect effect on psychological outcomes via the mediating variables of perceived social support and passive coping strategies. In contrast, in the Asian group, the direct effect of the level of violence on psychological outcomes was strong and significant, and the mediating roles of these variables were not found. Research implications for practice are delineated. This study was funded by the Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (IDVSA) at the University of Texas at Austin.     

国际货物买卖中的风险转移制度

国际货物买卖风险转移制度的主要目的是要确定非由当事人过错所致的货物毁损、灭失的风险由谁来承担的问题。以货物交付时间作为风险转移时间的理论,得到《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》的采纳,我国《合同法》借鉴了该公约的相关规定,但存在不足之处。我国《合同法》应在有关“风险”的概念、风险转移原则的调整范围和适用的前提条件、违约对风险转移的影响、风险转移的交付时间等方面加以完善。     

四种调补方对反复心理应激大鼠下丘脑及海马氨基酸含量影响的比较

目的 :观察调肝方、健脾方、补肾方及人参总皂苷对反复心理应激大鼠下丘脑及海马氨基酸含量的影响。方法 :大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组、调肝组、健脾组、补肾组和人参总皂苷组。采用OPA高效液相色谱分析法检测下丘脑、海马氨基酸含量。结果 :人参总皂苷组下丘脑谷氨酸(Glu)明显下降 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,健脾组与人参总皂苷组下丘脑天冬氨酸 (Asp)水平均明显低于模型组和正常对照组 (P <0 .0 1)。模型组海马Glu明显下降 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,补肾组、健脾组和人参总皂苷组海马Glu和Asp均明显升高 (P <0 .0 1)。调肝组、健脾组和人参总皂苷组下丘脑γ 氨基丁酸(GABA)和牛磺氨酸 (Tau)均明显下降 (P <0 .0 5或P <0 .0 1) ,补肾组下丘脑GABA明显下降(P <0 .0 1) ,模型组海马Tau明显下降 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,健脾组、补肾组与人参总皂苷组海马GABA和Tau均明显升高 (P <0 .0 1)。结论 :调肝方药的中枢作用部位可能主要在下丘脑 ,其作用机制可能与下调氨基酸水平有关 ;而健脾、补肾方药及人参总皂苷的中枢作用部位可能与海马和下丘脑都有密切关系 ,作用机制则与上调氨基酸水平有关     

The Law: An Engine for Trade

The lecture traces the process of commercialisation in English law from its early stages to the present day. Until the mid-eighteenth century the law was in a process of integration , overcoming a judicial preoccupation with technicalities and procedures to form a body of rules which merchants could trust. From that point on the law has assumed a proactive role as an engine for trade. The nineteenth century is marked by legal facilitation , where new institutions were fashioned as a robust commercial framework for the Industrial Revolution. From the end of that century to the present day business law has served to regulate , building a sensitive framework for commercial development that balances the needs of commerce with the needs of society as a whole.     

试论行政合同中的诚实信用原则

从行政合同的契约本质考虑,诚实信用原则当然可以适用于行政合同;从行政合同的行政性来看,诚实信用原则适用于行政合同有利于规制行政特权的恣意行使。对于历来强调国家的优越地位,缺乏对个人权利保护和平等地位尊重传统的我国,在行政合同理论和实践中倡导诚信原则更具意义。具体适用时,一方面要借鉴诚实信用原则在私法合同中的适用,另一方面更要注重诚信原则对行政机关在行政合同中进行公益裁量、行使行政特权时的有效约束。     

影响大学生心理健康因素及教育管理工作途径探析
