Methodical Manual for a Set of Transport Regulations in Railway Passenger Transport Lenka Černá1*, Vladislav Zitrický1 and Borna Abramović2 1University of Žilina, Univerzitna 1, 010 26 Zilina, Slovak Republic, E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] 2University of Zagreb, ZUK Borongaj, Borongajska cesta 83a, 10000 Zagreb, Republic of Croatia, E-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding Author: Lenka Černá Abstract: The European Union is the first and only region worldwide where passengers have comprehensive and integrated fundamental rights on all modes of transport. The rights are based on the principles of non-discrimination, accurate, timely and accessible information as well as prompt and adequate assistance. There is also a specific code of transport regulating conditions under which a carrier transports persons, baggage, animals and goods on the rail network. The actual creation of such transport regulations should follow from a certain methodology. Thus, the paper´s objective is to propose methodical procedures that would be related to a set of regulations in railway passenger transport. The manual proposed will respect relevant legislation, which determines minimum requirements for developing transport regulations, and obligations of carriers as well. As the code of transport is part of public proposals for concluding transport contracts of the carriage of passengers, the methodical manual will contribute to making regulations in passenger transport to be better suited to practical requirements. -

Consultation on the European Commission Proposal on Bus and Coach Passenger Rights: Report on Responses
Consultation on the European Commission proposal on bus and coach passenger rights: report on responses Introduction 1. On 4 March 2009 DfT published a consultation paper seeking views on the 'European Commission proposal on bus and coach passenger rights’ which aims to make bus and coach travel more attractive and accessible to all passengers, including disabled people and people with reduced mobility, and to create a level playing field across Europe, both between operators and different modes of transport. 2. The proposed Regulation sets out provisions to: prevent discrimination on grounds of nationality or place of residence with regard to conditions and prices offered to passengers by operators; establish standard rules on liability in the event of death or injury of passengers and loss of or damage to their luggage and to harmonise these with other modes of transport; prevent discrimination on the grounds of disability or reduced mobility with regard to booking a journey or boarding a vehicle (unless safety regulations or the size of the vehicle makes it impossible); give disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility the right to assistance during their travel free of charge; oblige companies to provide passengers with adequate information, throughout their journey, particularly where services are cancelled or subject to long delays, and with information about their rights; and ensure operators have a complaint handling mechanism, with each Member State designating a body responsible for the enforcement of the proposed Regulation. 3. The consultation paper was published on the DfT website (www.dft.gov.uk) and sent to 95 stakeholders. The consultation ran for six weeks, ending on 14 April, rather than the usual twelve, to ensure that stakeholder views could be taken into account before detailed negotiations on the proposal began in April 2009. -
1Judge John Holland and the Vice- Admiralty Court of the Cape of Good Hope, 1797-1803: Some Introductory and Biographical Notes (Part 1)
1JUDGE JOHN HOLLAND AND THE VICE- ADMIRALTY COURT OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, 1797-1803: SOME INTRODUCTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES (PART 1) JP van Niekerk* ABSTRACT A British Vice-Admiralty Court operated at the Cape of Good Hope from 1797 until 1803. It determined both Prize causes and (a few) Instance causes. This Court, headed by a single judge, should be distinguished from the ad hoc Piracy Court, comprised of seven members of which the Admiralty judge was one, which sat twice during this period, and also from the occasional naval courts martial which were called at the Cape. The Vice-Admiralty Court’s judge, John Holland, and its main officials and practitioners were sent out from Britain. Key words: Vice-Admiralty Court; Cape of Good Hope; First British Occupation of the Cape; jurisdiction; Piracy Court; naval courts martial; Judge John Holland; other officials, practitioners and support staff of the Vice-Admiralty Court * Professor, Department of Mercantile Law, School of Law, University of South Africa.

He was the first British judicial appointment to the recently acquired settlement and was to serve as judge of the newly created Vice-Admiralty Court of the Cape of Good Hope. -

Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia. -

Pleasure Boating and Admiralty: Erie at Sea' Preble Stolz*
California Law Review VoL. 51 OCTOBER 1963 No. 4 Pleasure Boating and Admiralty: Erie at Sea' Preble Stolz* P LEASURE BOATING is basically a new phenomenon, the product of a technology that can produce small boats at modest cost and of an economy that puts such craft within the means of almost everyone.' The risks generated by this development create new legal problems. New legal problems are typically solved first, and often finally, by extension of com- mon law doctrines in the state courts. Legislative regulation and any solu- tion at the federal level are exceptional and usually come into play only as a later stage of public response.2 There is no obvious reason why our legal system should react differ- ently to the new problems presented by pleasure boating. Small boats fall easily into the class of personal property. The normal rules of sales and security interests would seem capable of extension to small boats without difficulty. The same should be true of the rules relating to the operation of pleasure boats and particularly to the liability for breach of the duty to take reasonable care for the safety of others. One would expect, therefore, that the legal problems of pleasure boating would be met with the typical response: adaptation of the common law at the state level. Unhappily this is not likely to happen. Pleasure boating has the mis- fortune of presenting basic issues in an already complex problem of fed- t I am grateful to Professor Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr. for reading the manuscript in nearly final form, and to Professor Ronan E. -
