El gobierno del Reino Unido ha adoptado una variedad de paquetes para ayudar a las personas y empresas afectadas por la crisis de COVID 19. La mayoría de las medidas de apoyo a los individuos y a las empresas son medidas gubernamentales y no legislativas. La principal legislación es la Coronavirus Act 2020. Aunque proporciona un paquete legislativo largo, prevé pocos cambios en el derecho privado. Sólo aborda algunas cuestiones relativas al arrendamiento. Dado que la mayor parte del derecho privado no es derecho estatutario sino jurisprudencia, es el poder judicial quien tendrá que evaluar los problemas relacionados con COVID 19 y desarrollar el derecho de los contratos en el caso de incumplimiento. Queda por ver cómo los jueces ingleses aplicarán conceptos como la frustration, la fuerza mayor, hardship o material adverse change, Esas cuestiones, así como los métodos alternativos de solución de litigios en relación con el COVID 19, se debaten actualmente en el Reino Unido.

En este breve documento se resumen las medidas adoptadas por el legislador suizo para hacer frente a los desafíos de la crisis de Covid 19 en la esfera del derecho privado. Esas medidas, adoptadas en forma de reglamento, abarcan los contratos de arrendamiento, las cuestiones de derecho del trabajo y el pago de deudas, así como la insolvencia.

Examines the extraterritorial effect of collective redress litigation, looking at the way in which many collective redress issues span frontiers, and thus involve complex transnational dynamics. Includes detailed analysis of the law and jurisprudence with significant practical impact in this area.

This book provides an insight into commercial relations between large economies and Small States, the benefits of regional integration, the role of Small States as financial centres as well as B2B and State to State dispute resolution involving Small States. Several contributions allow the reader to familiarise themselves with the general subject matter; others scrutinise the particular issues Small States face when confronted with an international dispute and discuss new and innovative solutions. These solutions range from inventive ideas to help economic growth to appropriate mechanisms of dispute resolution including inter-State dispute resolution and specific areas of arbitration such as tax arbitration. Researchers, policy advisors and practitioners will find a wealth of insights, information and practical ideas in this book.

According to the Commission Recommendation (2013/396/EU), Member States should have collective redress mechanisms available to achieve EU policy objectives such as better enforcement of European Union law, protection of consumers, improvement of access to justice, better efficiency of justice systems, avoidance of abusive litigation and an effective right to compensation. The Recommendation provides for its implementation by July 2015 and for a reassessment of the collective redress landscape across the EU by July 2017. The present study carries out a first assessment and its output will assist the Commission in evaluating if the Recommendation has led to the introduction or development of efficient collective redress regimes in the Members States; whether these regimes coherently take into account the principles set out by the Recommendation; and whether the Recommendation has achieved its policy goals.
