In this narrative medicine essay, a critical care physician reflects on the safety and permanence offered by the sidewalk in front of her home and notes how it beckons her to look beyond and consider ...the experiences of those without sidewalks.
The purpose of the aticle was to present the problems peculiar to easments established on premises property. It was noted that the execution of the easment may focus on different parts of the ...encumbered premises (chambers, auxiliary premises or appurtenant premises), which generates a numer of legal doubts. Among other things, an attempt was made to answer the question of whether, and under what conditions, it is permissible to impose an easment on the premises, which at the same time has the status of the owner property. Also analyzed is the case in which there is a disposal of an appurtenant premises against which an easment is exercised. It was further stated that the establishment of an easment on a premises cannot nullify the characteristic of its independence within the meaning of the Law on Premises Ownership, which significantly limits the freedom to shape the content of easments.The article proposes the right way to interpret the Civil Code provisions on easments, in the direction of maintaining the stability and permanence of these rights. A de lege ferenda postulate to supplement Article 290 2 of the Civil Cod is also included.
A meticulously researched and revisionist study of the nineteenth-century Ontario?s Married Women's Property Acts. They were important landmarks in the legal emancipation of women.

Non-cooperative couples are inefficient. Cooperation raises the utility of both parents, and of each child, but does not guarantee efficiency. In the presence of credit rationing, a cooperative ...equilibrium may not exist outside marriage, because the main earner cannot credibly promise to compensate the main childcarer at some future date, and may not be able or willing to do so at front. By allowing the main childcarer to credibly threaten divorce if the main earner does not deliver the promised compensation when the time comes, marriage makes that promise credible, and thus increases the probability that a cooperative equilibrium will exist. In a separate-property jurisdiction, a reduction in the cost or difficulty of obtaining a divorce increases married women’s participation in the labour market. In a community-property one, it has no such effect.
This article considers the implications for parties to a marriage and their property when they are forced to separate as a result of ill health. This has particular relevance for elderly Australians ...who experience declining health accompanied by cognitive decline and loss of decision-making capacity. The potential for the property interests of the couples in these circumstances, to be altered by family law proceedings, has been confirmed by the High Court of Australia in Stanford v Stanford. The door to the Family Court is open for financial proceedings to be brought on behalf of a party to a marriage who no longer has the capacity to make financial decisions for him or herself and who has financial needs that cannot be met from their own property. The article examines the legal position of couples when third parties are contemplating the commencement of proceedings in the Family Court for financial orders.

Neither marriage nor a legally enforceable contract serves any useful purpose if the parties have access to a perfect credit market. In the presence of credit rationing, the parties may not reach an ...agreement. If they do, the agreement will be inefficient and give one party more utility than the other. Efficiency and utility equalization are guaranteed only by a legally enforceable contract. Separate-property marriage may reduce, and community-property marriage actually eliminate inefficiency, but neither of them guarantees utility equalization.
