  • The Legal Property Relations of Married Parties
    STUDIES IN HISTORY, ECONOMICS AND PUBLIC LAW EDITED BY THE FACULTY OF POLITICAL SCIENCE OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY THE LEGAL PROPERTY RELATIONS OF MARRIED PARTIES A STUDY IN COMPARATIVE LEGISLATION COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDIES IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES PREFACE. THIScomparison of legislation was undertaken during the winter of 1894-95. The pressure of other duties delayed the completion of the work. The examination of the law in most of the states has beell brought down to the close of the legislative year 1898 ; in some instances the legislation of 1899 has been examined. I desire to express my thanks to many persons from whom I have received assistance and suggestions during the pro- gress of this investigation. I am especially indebted to Professor Munroe Smith, of Columbia University, under whose direction my studies in jurisprudence were prosecuted. It is fitting that I make special mention also of my indebted- ness to Professor E. R. A. Seligman, of Columbia University, and to my friend and colleague, Professor Frederick C. Hicks. ISIDORLOEB.

  • Mistake As to the Identity of a Contracting Party – Historical Origins and Contemporary Expressions
    Arquivo Jurídico – ISSN 2317-918X – Teresina-PI – v. 2 – n. 1 – p. 6-17 Jan./Jun. de 2015 MISTAKE AS TO THE IDENTITY OF A CONTRACTING PARTY – HISTORICAL ORIGINS AND CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSIONS ERRO SOBRE A IDENTIDADE DAS PARTES NA RELAÇÃO CONTRATUAL: ORIGENS HISTÓRICAS E NORMATIVIDADE MODERNA Giorgi Amiranashvili Recebimento em agosto de 2015. Aprovação em setembro de 2015. Abstract: The contract is the most prevalent institution for private autonomy implementation. As known, any agreement relies on mutual consent. However, sometimes there are some cases when exterior will does not coincide with the internal readiness or the will of the parties: This is caused by various objective and objective factors. Therefore, this is the vivid example of insufficient will. If so, the agreement designed in such a framework is a “voidable transaction”. The basis for such an agreement is, in this case, the contractor taken by mistake. According to the general explanation, this kind of a mistake is real when the actual contractor (the one to be authorized to be as one of the parties) is a different person and not the one to be considered as the truly willing one. The goal of the article is to consider the mistake relevant to contractors through the historical background and show this freedom, which is inherent to the current law regulating the issue concerned. Keywords: Lack of Will. Voidable Contract. Types of Fundamental Mistake. Mistake as to the Identity of a Contracting Party. Resumo: O contrato é a instituição mais relevante para a implementação da autonomia privada. Como se sabe, qualquer acordo depende de consentimento mútuo.

With a stroke of the pen, reformist President Boris Yeltsin of Russia on November 30, 1994, relegated the Brezhnev-era Russian Civil Code of 1964 to the museum of antiquity * Professor of Russian and Comparative Law, Tulane University School of Law (1972-1988); Consultant on Law Reform (Legislative Advisor) to the Russian Federal Parliament (1990-1993); Resident Legal Advisor for Law Reform to the Office of the President of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan (1995-1996); Resident Legal Advisor for Law Reform to the Cabinet of Ministers (Government) of the Republic of Kazakstan (1994-1995, 1996-1998); LL.B.

The law recognizes two ways of inheritance transfer- by will and by statute. Inheritance is transferred by statute in cases when there is no will. Nine decades before, the will was made by a testator orally, in the presence of his/her family members, sometimes in the presence of others as well. Testator’s will was accepted as was stated without any comments, as at that point of time, people had trust and faith towards each other. Afterwards, the will took a written form, whereby testator expresses his/her wish to transfer his/her own property/funds to persons specified by him/her in written. This written document is further certified by notary. Naturally, testator’s will should be in consistence with respective laws and once the will is composed, the conditions of inheritance are defined not by law as it is, but by will. The term “Will” has two meanings. Firstly, it is a document stating testator’s wish, secondly, the act of the testator’s expression. The act of the testator’s expression is a unilateral transaction and doesn’t imply any other person’s opinion.
