The focus is on the general part of the law of assignation. I do not cover special part subjects in any detail. There are two further points about the nature of the work. One is style. The other is content. First, style: a doctoral thesis is written over a long, often formative, period of time. At the outset, the writer writes though he has no experience of writing. By the time the writer has gained some experience, often from mistakes, it is too late. For the doctorate is then already written. Doctoral theses, in short, rarely contain good writing and are thus rarely good reading. And I fear this work, in places, is no exception. Second, content: few legal systems can be as exciting to research as Scots law: it is old, sometimes cosmopolitan and often undiscovered. The PhD student has the time and, hopefully, the inclination, to arm himself with a paper knife and hack his way through unopened sources. This means going back and starting where, in other systems, even a couple of monographs a century would have preserved the state of contemporary law for posterity. The reader should not be surprised, therefore, to see numerous references to old authority. If antiquarian sources have any home, it is in the footnotes of a doctoral thesis. A thesis, it must be emphasised, is not a practitioner’s handbook. But, be that as it may, in this subject more than most, the Scots law of assignation has been based firmly on principle. Sometimes sources are old because they form solid and durable foundations. A modern case on the point, though useful, would only confirm what we already know. Too many people to mention individually have generously assisted me, in many ways: to all of you, my thanks. But two people and one patrimony deserve special mention. The patrimony is the Edinburgh Legal Education Trust. It was the generous scholarship offered by the Trust which first suggested the opportunity of doctoral research on Scots law. It would not have been possible otherwise. Let its patrimony flourish. The two people are Reinhard Zimmermann and George Gretton. Professor Zimmermann generously provided me with the opportunity to work for a year at the Max-Planck-Institut für ausländisches und internationales Privatrecht in Hamburg. The experience was invaluable and memorable; and the opportunity to use the resources in the Institute’s unrivalled library was a privilege indeed. Professor Zimmermann was an understanding and inspiring mentor. For the kindness and generosity extended to me by all members of the Institute and, in particular, by Professor Zimmermann, I will be forever grateful. vii Preface viii My greatest debt of gratitude is to Professor George Gretton. He acted as the primary supervisor of the thesis. He read more drafts than I am sure he cares to remember; and the many penetrating criticisms that he offered improved the thesis immeasurably. I learned much from him. Indeed, if there was any note of sadness on completing the thesis, it was that our regular and lively meetings had to come to an end. Again, my thanks. I am also enormously grateful to Kenneth Reid and Margaret Cherry for their advice, assistance and patience in guiding me through the publication process. With these acknowledgements I need hardly mention that I alone bear the responsibility for remaining errors and omissions. Finally, it would be remiss of me not to record my deep gratitude to Gilbert, Mary, Murray and Keith: my family, for all the support that they, and only they, could provide. Also to Keirs: a special tapadh leat. I have endeavoured to take account of legal developments in Scotland up to 1st May 2007.

    Bulletin of the European Communities Supplement 2/82 Draft Convention on bankruptcy, winding-up, arrangements, com­ positions and similar proceedings Report on the draft Convention on bankruptcy, winding-up, arrange­ ments, compositions and similar pro­ ceedings EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Commission The draft Convention on bankruptcy, winding-up, arrangements, compositions and similar proceedings was drawn up in pursuance of Article 220 of the Treaty establish­ ing the European Economic Community, under which the Member States were to 'enter into negotiations with each other with a view to securing for the benefit of their nationals ... the simplification of formalities governing the reciprocal recogni­ tion and enforcement of judgments of courts or tribunals ... '. The need for negotiations on these matters had been clear to the Member States from the Community's inception. The negotiations culminated in the Convention on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters, which was signed in Brussels on 27 September 1968 and has since been amended by the Convention on the accession of the new Member States to the Convention, signed in Luxembourg on 9 October 1978.1 However, bankruptcies, compositions and other analogous proceedings were excluded from the scope of the Judgments Convention. As early as 1960 it had been decided, because of the special problems involved, to negotiate a special convention concerning such proceedings, and a paral­ lel working party had been set up under Commission auspices, composed of govern­ ment and Commission experts together with observers from the Benelux Commis­ sion for the study of the unification of law and the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

    SHERIFF APPEAL COURT [2018] SAC (Civ) 7 ALO-A4-16 Sheriff Principal Abercrombie QC Appeal Sheriff Stewart QC Appeal Sheriff Holligan OPINION OF THE COURT delivered by APPEAL SHERIFF HOLLIGAN in the cause DEVON ANGLING ASSOCIATION, JOHN B ANDERSON, A L ARMSTRONG, D K MUDIE, respectively The President, Treasurer and Secretary thereof, as representing the association as individuals Pursuers and Appellants against SCOTTISH WATER Defender and Respondent Pursuer/Appellant: Upton, advocate; Fish Legal Defender/Respondent: Balfour, advocate; Berrymans Lace Mawer LLP 27 March 2018 [1] This appeal concerns a claim for reparation. The pursuers and appellants are an angling association. They are an unincorporated body whose objects are to sustain and protect fishing in the River Devon and its tributaries along a particular stretch of the water. The defenders and respondents are Scottish Water, a body incorporated in terms of the 2 Water Industry (Scotland) Act 2002. We will refer to the parties as “the Association” and “Scottish Water” respectively. [2] The circumstances giving rise to the present claim are set out in the closed record. For the purposes of this opinion the material facts are not greatly in dispute. It is a matter of agreement that the Association bears to be the tenant of three leases executed in 1982, 1988 and 2013 respectively (although we recognise there is a dispute as to whether the Association are lessees and the documents leases, for convenience we shall refer to them as “the leases”). There is little material difference in the terms and conditions of each of the leases. They are short documents.

  • Balloch Charrette Report Final Issue 16Th May 2016
    Balloch Charrette Report Final Issue 16th May 2016 Executive Summary Balloch is a village situated on the southern tip of Loch Lomond and as such, is viewed as a southern gateway to the National Park as well as a destination in its own right for day trips and short stays to enjoy the Loch. The Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and West Dunbartonshire Council, supported by Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government, appointed 7N Architects and Nick Wright Planning to carry out a Charrette in Balloch in March 2016. The purpose of the Charrette was to undertake an appraisal of Balloch in its current state through a series of design-led workshops to identify opportunities for co-ordinated action that can benefit the local community, the visitor economy and make Balloch an even better place. A series of community design workshops were held at the National Park Headquarters in Balloch, supported by targeted engagement at local schools, local businesses and community group engagement and an active online discussion on the LIVE Park facebook page. This Charrette Report pulls together the outcome of the Charrette process and sets out a series of indicative proposals and recommendations shaped by the local community that can go forward for use by partners locally to act as a collective action plan for the future of Balloch. It acts as a framework that ensures development in Balloch works best for the village. 7N Architects 7 Randolph Place Edinburgh EH3 7TE tel +44 (0) 131 220 5541 www.7Narchitects.com Balloch’s idyllic setting, viewed from the South East The Charrette 01 Balloch’s idyllic setting, viewed from the South East Introduction Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and West Dunbartonshire Council appointed 7N Architects and Nick Key areas of focus for the Wright Planning to carry out a Charrette in Balloch in Charrette were identified February/March 2016.
