This open access volume of the AIDA Europe Research Series on Insurance Law and Regulation offers the first comprehensive legal and regulatory analysis of the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD). ...The IDD came into force on 1 October 2018 and regulates the distribution of insurance products in the EU. The book examines the main changes accompanying the IDD and analyses its impact on insurance distributors, i.e., insurance intermediaries and insurance undertakings, as well as the market. Drawing on interrelations between the rules of the Directive and other fields that are relevant to the distribution of insurance products, it explores various topics related to the interpretation of the IDD – e.g. the harmonization achieved under it; its role as a benchmark for national legislators; and its interplay with other regulations and sciences – while also providing an empirical analysis of the standardised pre-contractual information document. Accordingly, the book offers a wealth of valuable insights for academics, regulators, practitioners and students who are interested in issues concerning insurance distribution.

Integrating Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) into legal systems is essential for improving access to justice, decreasing litigation expenses, and promoting enforced outcomes. This article ...examines the ADR practices in Hungary, a country that has successfully integrated ADR into its legal system, to gain significant insights for Indonesia, as both countries share the same sociocultural practices for communal dispute resolution. This normative legal research examines Hungary's extensive legal framework, the roles of institutional support structures, and the enforcement of ADR awards. The study employs comparative analysis that systematically evaluates pertinent legal documents, institutional reports, and scholarly literature from Hungary and Indonesia. The study found fundamental factors that contribute to the effectiveness of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in Hungary including the existence of a clearly established legislative framework, sufficient institutional infrastructure, and effective regulation to enforce ADR decisions. Indonesia can adopt these techniques to improve its Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) system, resulting in more streamlined, cost-efficient, and fair processes for resolving disputes and to establish a more unified and efficient ADR system.
Die Organhaftung zeigt eine beweisrechtliche Besonderheit: Nicht die Gesellschaft muss die Pflichtverletzung beweisen, sondern das Organmitglied muss sich nach § 93 Abs. 2 Satz 2 AktG (analog) ...entlasten. Die Beweislastumkehr wirft in der Praxis eine Reihe von Problemen auf, und auch ihre theoretische Fundierung harrte bislang einer abschließenden Klärung. Nadja Danninger beleuchtet das Thema nach einer beweisrechtlichen Einführung aus fünf Blickwinkeln: Rechtsgeschichte, Rechtsdogmatik, Rechtspraxis, Rechtsvergleichung und Rechtspolitik. Die Verfasserin legt die römisch-rechtlichen Wurzeln ebenso frei wie die höchst unterschiedliche Behandlung der Beweislastfrage in 15 untersuchten Rechtsordnungen. Neben der Analyse der Theorie untersucht sie ausgewählte praktische Konstellationen und zeigt damit auf, wie der beweisrechtliche Balanceakt in Theorie und Praxis gelingen kann.

Since the late twentieth century, federal and state jurisdictions across the United States have explored the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR")programs to resolve legal disputes. ADR ...programs provide extrajudicial mechanisms through which parties can resolve their disputes without the delay and expense of a traditional judicial proceeding. Courts and practitioners alike have lauded ADR programs. For litigators, ADR programs are a way to deliver outcomes to clients quickly and efficiently. For courts, ADR programs are a way to remove cases from overcrowded dockets. While ADR is generally considered to be speedier and more cost-efficient than a trial, little empirical research has been done to determine which sorts of ADR programs deliver the greatest returns. An examination of the last four decades of ADR programs in Delaware Superior Court may provide just this insight. Since 1978, the Delaware judiciary has enacted, repealed, and amended three similar, but distinct, iterations of an ADR program in Delaware Superior Court. Because all three iterations were enacted in the same court system, the Delaware ADR program is a microcosm in which different characteristics of ADR programs may be compared against each other. This objective comparison reveals which iteration of the ADR program has proven most efficient for Delaware, and may provide valuable insights for legislators and rule-makers who seek to design efficient ADR programs in jurisdictions across the United States.

Court-annexed Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) programs have become increasingly prevalent in the past fifty years, but there is a lack of comprehensive data on their efficacy and impact. Davis ...analyzes a student note by Jordan Hicks, which provides a detailed examination of court-annexed ADR programs in DE Superior Court. Hicks's analysis focuses on judicial efficiency, speed, failure rates, and prejudicial concerns, and offers a template for studying similar programs in other jurisdictions. He highlights the challenges of gathering data on court-annexed ADR programs across different states and the inconsistencies in statistical reporting. However, Hicks's approach of turning available data into meaningful information and his suggestions for improving the efficiency of court-annexed ADR programs are commendable. He emphasizes the importance of considering the public interest and the quality of the ADR process, and suggests that a comprehensive study of court-annexed ADR programs would require significant resources and ongoing iteration. He concludes by acknowledging Hicks's valuable contribution and his potential to inspire new approaches to studying and improving court-annexed ADR programs.
As normas para a resolução de disputas se desenvolveram junto com a comunicação humana, literalmente milhares de anos antes da internet. A mediação surgiu como um sistema social que detém normas ...específicas de cada cultura e regras que as expressam. Até hoje, a mediação opera como um sistema de significados profundamente humano. Este artigo analisa se tais normas específicas para a mediação, testadas e refinadas com o tempo, serão transferidas, relativamente intactas, para o ambiente virtual. Para isso, será analisado como os designers constroem e implementam os ambientes virtuais e sua decorrente automatização tecnológica. Contudo, para realizar isso da melhor maneira os designers devem, em primeiro lugar, identificar, entender e respeitar os valores, a ética e o propósito implícitos nessas normas intergeracionais.
Violence against women is characterised by its universality, the multiplicity of its forms, and the intersectionality of diverse kinds of discrimination against women. Great emphasis in legal ...analysis has been placed on sex-based discrimination; however, in investigations of violence, one aspect has been overlooked: violence may severely affect women's health and access to reproductive health, and State health policies might be a cause of violence against women. Exploring the relationship between violence against women and women's rights to health and reproductive health, Sara De Vido theorises the new concept of violence against women's health in international law using the Hippocratic paradigm, enriching human rights-based approaches to women's autonomy and reflecting on the pervasiveness of patterns of discrimination. At the core of the book are two dimensions of violence: horizontal 'inter-personal', and vertical 'state policies'. Investigating these dimensions through decisions made by domestic, regional and international judicial or quasi-judicial bodies, De Vido reconceptualises States' obligations and eventually asks whether international law itself is the ultimate cause of violence against women's health.
The normal functioning of the justice system existing in the state, which should ensure the satisfaction of the private interests of the sub- jects of law, should be evaluated as an expression of ...public and private interests. After all, the well-being of the subjects of law is significantly determined by the existence of a flexible dispute resolution system and mechanisms, the correct formation and implementation of which guarantees the stability of the civil turnover and the satisfaction of the interests of legal subjects. Despite the importance of the issue, ensuring that the legal subjects are offered fast and affordable forms of dis- puteresolution, remains to be a challenge. Achieving the mentioned goal becomes more difficult, when the dispute is loaded with international private law elements, is characterized by complexity in this way and its resolution is connected with a number of peculiarities. That is why, on the one hand, it is considered important to make changes in the law of Georgia “On Private International Law”, which will eliminate the risks of its misinterpretation. On the other hand, it is important to emphasize the role and importance of mediation in the process of resolving international private law disputes. Accordingly, following the legislative amendments, it is also considered important to raise public awareness in this direction and improve legal culture. The above-mentioned, significantly helps the formation of a chain of effective means of dispute resolution, where, on the other hand, an important place shall be given to the form of remote proceedings.
