  • E-Justice and International Land Conveyancing
    UNIO - EU Law Journal. Vol. 5, No. 1, January 2019, pp 76-84. ®2019 Centre of Studies in European Union Law School of Law – University of Minho E-justice and international land conveyancing Afonso Patrão* ABSTRACT: This paper explores the obstacles regarding cross-border transactions on immoveable property within the European Union. The existence of obstacles to the exercise of the freedom of movement of capitals, such as travel costs to the country where the property is located and finding a notary there, may even lead the parties not to enter in those contracts. E-justice solutions are being created to solve such situations and this paper reflects if they are enough to overcome the difficulties and rectify current deficiencies. It concludes by examining the tendency of solving the difficulties of international cooperation between non-judicial authorities through e-Justice tools. KEYWORDS: E-justice – freedom of movement of capital – land registrar – notary – international land conveyancing. * Professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra. ® UNIO - EU LAW JOURNAL Vol. 5, No. 1, January 2019 I. The problem In cross-border transactions on immoveable property within the European Union, guaranteed by the basic freedoms (specially freedom of movement of capital), a major obstacle exists: because Member States often establish preventive systems on conveyancing – obliging the contract to be concluded before a public notary or other authority, ruling out causes of invalidity, and submitting the production of all legal effects to a Land Registrar’s decision –, contracting in a different Member State of the situation of the plot of land is a difficult task.

In July 2013, the FRA published a report on Legal capacity of persons with mental health problems and persons with intellectual disabilities. The report presents FRA’s legal analysis of current standards and safeguards concerning the legal capacity of these two groups of persons. It twins this analysis with the lived experiences of a small number of interviewees regarding the loss of legal capacity and other restrictions on their ability to take decisions. The annex of the report, reproduced in this submission, presents an overview of the current legislation in the 28 EU Member States along with an overview of the last significant legislative amendments. I enclose copies of the report for your information. I hope that the information provided will be useful for the finalisation of the Draft General Comment.

  • The Annual Accounts in the Netherlands a Guide to Title 9 of the Netherlands Civil Code
    The Annual Accounts in the Netherlands A guide to Title 9 of the Netherlands Civil Code 2013 Edition Deloitte The Annual Accounts in the Netherlands – A guide to Title 9 of the Netherlands Civil Code Editorial staff: Ronald Smittenberg Principal authors: Peter Thomson Fred van der Giessen Dingeman Manschot The editorial staff and principal authors are affiliated with or employed by Deloitte Accountants B.V. © Deloitte, December 2013 Preface Before 1971, Dutch law with respect to the annual accounts of companies was rather limited. Over the last forty years, and due to European Directives, the regulations and legislation with respect to the annual accounts in the Netherlands have increased significantly. Following the introduction of the Euro, the European Union published the IAS-Regulation in 2002, which mandated the use of International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the EU (IFRS-EU) for the consolidated financial statements of all listed companies as of 2005. In 2004, the Transparency Directive of the European Commission (Directive No. 2004/109/EG) was issued. This Directive was enacted into Dutch law in 2007 by means of the Financial Markets Supervision Act (Wft). The Wft deals with the supervision by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) of, for example, listed companies and financial institutions. The Wft is also covered in this publication. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of Title 9 Book 2 (hereinafter: Title 9) of the Netherlands Civil Code (NCC) with respect to the annual accounts in the Netherlands. It has been updated to reflect recent changes to the NCC, following the enactment of the ‘Flex-bv Act’.

  • Declarations of Non-Infringement and Compulsory Licenses
    Declarations of non- infringement and compulsory licences Essentials valid and National approaches Remedies UPC regime infringed to damages valid and not infringed Costs invalid and not infringed Declarations of non- Amendment/ Voluntary surrender invalid but infringement and limitations and central revocation infringed compulsory licences Declarations of non-infringement Introduction A patent permits its holder, the patentee, to exclude third parties, for a limited time and upon disclosure of the invention to the public, from doing certain acts without his consent. This right to exclude may be regarded by third parties acting in good faith as a threat to the continuity of their business. A third party may therefore benefit from a declaration by a court that a given product or process does not amount to an infringement of the patent. Consequently, some countries have enacted in their patent and/or procedural law provisions which allow a third party to seek declaratory relief from a national court, whereby the court will state whether or not a given embodiment is outside the scope of a given patent. Such declaratory relief and declaratory procedures are usually referred to as involving a declaration of non-infringement. Definition A declaration of non-infringement is a legally binding adjudication by which a third party involved in or anticipating a possible or actual European Patent Academy Patent litigation. Block 3 | Declarations of non-infringement and compulsory licences | 1 infringement dispute may ask a court to rule on its freedom to perform acts which might otherwise be at risk of being considered infringements. A third party will typically provide a written description of a specific embodiment of a product or process and request that the court hold such embodiment as not falling within the claims of a patent of another party.
