欧共体“无争议债权支付令”介评

欧共体2004年4月21日通过的第805号规则对“无争议的债权（uncontested claims）”设立了“欧洲执行令”，该支付令可以在各成员国直接得到承认和执行，从而简化了欧共体成员国之间民商事判决的执行手续，进一步加强了各国在判决承认与执行方面的合作，体现了欧洲国际私法的发展方向。

论刑事附带民事诉讼制度的立法完善——从被害人民事权益保障视角的思考

现行《刑事诉讼法》所规定的刑事附带民事诉讼制度,全面承袭了1979年《刑诉法》的相应规定,在刑事司法审判中已经明显不适应对于被害人权利保护的需要。充分保障被害人的权利,在程序上应当对于附带民事诉讼的受案范围;被害人提起附带民事诉讼的方式;被害人在诉讼中的权利和义务;附带民事诉讼中的反诉;撤回公诉以后附带民事诉讼的处理等等问题进行完善。在完善相应程序制度的方式上,应当通过立法修改的方式进行,而不是采用现行司法解释的方式。     

基本医疗服务法制化研究

获取基本医疗服务是公民保障生命健康的基本权利,应当通过法律加以明确,使之成为"拟制公共产品"。公共卫生服务与基本医疗服务是两种性质不同的服务,不宜用一部法律来统一规定,因此全国人大《基本医疗卫生保障法》的立法模式是不适宜的,应当单独出台《基本医疗服务法》。政府提供基本医疗服务的范围主要包括基本医疗保险、基本医疗救助、基本药物和基本诊疗项目、基本医疗服务体系和基本医疗设施、基本医疗服务人力。公民的医疗服务请求权可以通过诉讼救济,医疗服务请求诉讼的类型属于行政给付之诉。     

试述公示催告的几个问题

我国在《票据法》、《民事诉讼法》以及相关金融法中对公示催告作出了规定。但是,与发达国家有关公示催告的法律规定相比,仍然有许多不完善和欠缺之处,且规定太过粗糙,不能适应迅猛发展的银行业务。随着我国经济的不断发展,在加入WTO后,如何建立完善的公示催告制度,与世界接轨是当务之急。本文拟通过对公示催告程序、期间以及除权判决的分析与研究,提出完善公示催告制度的一点浅见。     

强奸行为精神赔偿的法理分析

本文以“全国首例贞操权案”引发的话题从法理上探讨了给予强奸行为受害者以精神赔偿请求权的必要性。作者认为 ,给予强奸行为受害者以精神赔偿请求权符合“责任相当”的法律责任归责原则、符合不同法律责任的功能互补和请求权的特性 ,有利于被害人的人权保护 ;这也为国外立法和判例所承认。通过简短的历史考察 ,作者发现我国现有的强奸行为法律责任制度是伴随着源于清末修律的“法制现代化”进程而形成的 ,其移植于西方但其最终形成又有特殊背景。     

Insurance Fraud and the Role of the Civil Law

Two UK Supreme Court decisions have considered insurance fraud. The first, Versloot Dredging BV v HDI‐Gerling Industries Versicherung (The DC Merwestone), concerned the use of a fraudulent device being harnessed to support a legitimate claim which, in the view of the majority, was an area of insurance law in need of re‐evaluation. The second, Haywood v Zurich Insurance Co, concerned the use of fraud to increase the settlement paid by the insurer and whether an insurer, which suspects fraud but has nevertheless chosen to settle a claim, is entitled to set aside the settlement under the tort of deceit where it subsequently discovers proof that it was in fact fraudulent. This case note examines not only the legal implications of the decisions and their likely impact on industry practice, it also focuses on the broader issue of the proper province of the civil law and whether general deterrence can be justified as a proper objective where the criminal law is deficient in punishing fraud because of its higher standard of proof.     

Global social media vs local values: Private international law should protect local consumer rights by using the public policy exception?

This article focuses on the relationship between forum selection clauses, choice of law clauses and data protection and privacy protection. In particular, it discusses the question whether and why jurisdiction and choice of law clauses used in the terms of social media providers should not be enforced against social media users located in a different jurisdiction. The article distinguishes between the contractual, private law analysis and the application of public policy as part of the private international law analysis. The contract law analysis is centred on doctrines such as unconscionability, which in turn examines issue such as fairness and overwhelming bargaining power of one party. By contrast, the public policy analysis in private international law focuses on fundamental rights, legality of contractual clauses according to the local law of the forum and the interests of justice. It is argued here that both aspects (contractual and public policy doctrines) are paramount for achieving not only justice between the parties of a dispute but also ensuring good administration of justice in the public interest.

Border formations: security and subjectivity at the border

This paper offers a normative argument for reconfiguring borders that rests on a critique of intersecting logics bearing on security, incorporation, agency, subjectivity, encounter, and citizenship. Especially important to my critique is the mutually reinforcing relationship between border security and prevalent assimilationist and integrationist forms of incorporation associated with the dominant single-citizenship model. I offer instead an alternative framing of incorporation I call enfoldment, which is anchored in the contingent and negotiated agency and subjectivity of mobile persons and a multiversal understanding of societies. As I argue, one avenue for opening the possibilities of migrant agency and subjectivity is via what I term ‘mediated passage’. It entails shielding migrants and travellers from the direct control of movement by states at borders, allowing for passage across borders mediated by civil society organizations possessing independent power and authority.
