ABSTRACT This article considers the quotation exception to copyright infringement under EU and UK law. It challenges the broad interpretation of the exception offered by academic commentators to date, as approximating a US-style fair use defence to copyright infringement, and presents an alternative understanding of the exception in its place. According to that understanding, established principles of EU and UK copyright law, including those adopted by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Deckmyn with respect to the parody exception, limit the acts permitted under the quotation exception to (1) reproductions of copyright material that are (2) identified as reproductions and (3) for a purpose of criticism, review, or an analogous purpose.
摘要本文考虑了欧盟和英国法律对版权侵权的引用例外。它挑战了迄今为止学术评论家对这一例外的广泛解释,认为这近似于对版权侵权的美国式合理使用辩护,并提出了对该例外的替代理解。根据这一理解,欧盟和英国版权法的既定原则,包括欧洲联盟法院在Deckmyn通过的关于戏仿例外的原则,将引用例外所允许的行为限制为(1)复制(2)被认定为复制品的版权材料,或类似的目的。

The standard of review on appeal for lawyer professional misconduct: the Canadian perspective 律师职业不端行为的上诉审查标准:加拿大视角

ABSTRACT In Groia v Law Society of Upper Canada, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on the standard of review to be applied, on appeal from a decision of the Law Society Appeal Panel regarding professional misconduct of lawyers. It is argued that the approaches taken by the majority, dissenting judges and dissenting Côté J can be conceptually classified as according some, full and no deference to the Panel’s decision, respectively. This note explores the three approaches by comparing them with the English and Hong Kong approaches. It is submitted that there should not be full deference. The note also explores Côté J’s view on the distinction between ‘in-court’ and ‘out-of-court’ misconduct. Côté J has raised concerns regarding judicial independence and the fundamental right to a fair trial when ‘in-court’ misconduct is involved. These insightful concerns would justify less deference and these concerns can be equally applicable to England and Wales, and Hong Kong.
在Groia诉上加拿大律师协会一案中,加拿大最高法院裁定,在对律师协会上诉小组关于律师职业不当行为的决定提出上诉时,将适用审查标准。有人认为,多数法官、持不同意见的法官和持不同意见的Côté J所采取的办法在概念上可分别分为部分服从、完全服从和不服从小组的决定。本文探讨这三种方法,并将它们与英国和香港的方法进行比较。有人认为,不应该完全服从。该说明还探讨了Côté J对“庭内”和“庭外”不当行为之间区别的看法。Côté J提出了对司法独立的担忧,以及在涉及“庭内”不当行为时获得公平审判的基本权利。这些有见地的担忧将证明不那么顺从是合理的,这些担忧同样适用于英格兰、威尔士和香港。

The constitutionality of ouster clauses: Nagaenthran a/l K Dharmalingam v Attorney-General [2018] SGHC 112 罢免条款的合宪性:Nagaenthran a/l K Dharmalingam诉检察总长[2018]SGHC 112

ABSTRACT Section 33B(4) of Singapore’s Misuse of Drugs Act purportedly partly ousts judicial review of the Public Prosecutor’s determination of whether a drug trafficker has substantively assisted the anti-drug enforcement agency. This paper argues that Singapore’s High Court erred in holding this provision constitutionally valid. Ouster clauses are unconstitutional vis-à-vis Articles 12(1) and 93 of the Constitution; the High Court’s view does not accord with the law on non-justiciability and is premised on a flawed theory of legislative intention. It is no answer that judicial power is subject to a ‘balance’ which renders a partial ouster clause constitutionally valid. The High Court’s view that section 33B(4) ousts review for non-jurisdictional errors of law is incompatible with Article 93, and is not justified by the ‘green-light’ theory. The effect of these problems is tempered by a potentially wider definition of unconstitutionality as a ground of review than the High Court considered.
摘要新加坡《滥用毒品法》第33B(4)条据称部分推翻了对检察官确定毒贩是否实质性协助禁毒执法机构的司法审查。本文认为,新加坡高等法院认定该条款在宪法上有效是错误的。与《宪法》第12(1)条和第93条相比,否决条款是违宪的;高等法院的观点不符合关于不可审理性的法律,并且是以有缺陷的立法意图理论为前提的。司法权力受制于“平衡”,这使得部分驱逐条款在宪法上有效,这是不可能的。高等法院认为,第33B(4)条取消了对非管辖权法律错误的审查,这与第93条不符,也没有“绿灯”理论的正当性。这些问题的影响因违宪作为审查理由的定义可能比高等法院考虑的更广泛而有所缓和。

Administrative law and customary law in Papua New Guinea 巴布亚新几内亚的行政法和习惯法

ABSTRACT This article commences with a review of the administrative law regime in Papua New Guinea, including the avenues for review of administrative decisions. Against this background, the constitutional mandate to take a Papua New Guinean approach to the development of administrative law is considered. More specifically, the article explores the approach of the courts to review of decisions involving customary law. The article also discusses whether decisions of traditional leaders are or should be subject to judicial review, given that the notion of governmental action has been expanded to cover not only action taken by government officials and officers acting for statutory bodies, but also actions by private persons who are part of a framework of governmental control.
摘要本文首先回顾巴布亚新几内亚的行政法律制度,包括审查行政决定的途径。在这一背景下,考虑到宪法授权采取巴布亚新几内亚的办法制定行政法。更具体地说,这篇文章探讨了法院审查涉及习惯法的裁决的方法。这篇文章还讨论了传统领导人的决定是否需要或应该接受司法审查,因为政府行动的概念已经扩大到不仅包括政府官员和法定机构官员采取的行动,还包括作为政府控制框架一部分的私人的行动。

Between a rock and a hard place: no oral modification clauses after Rock Advertising v MWB 进退两难:摇滚广告诉MWB案后无口头修改条款

ABSTRACT Following the United Kingdom Supreme Court decision in Rock Advertising Ltd v MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd on the issue of ‘no oral modification’ (NOM) clauses, we examine its implications for contractual variations. This article considers the reasons for finding NOM clauses legally effective in English law (a clause commonly included in commercial contracts). It further touches upon the way the law now favours transactional certainty over the protection of vulnerable parties, querying whether the legal certainty for commercial parties that arises as a consequence of giving effect to NOM clauses is as appealing as it may seem.
摘要根据英国最高法院在Rock Advertising Ltd诉MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd一案中关于“无口头修改”(NOM)条款问题的裁决,我们研究了其对合同变更的影响。本文认为NOM条款在英国法律中具有法律效力的原因(商业合同中常见的一种条款)。它进一步触及了法律现在倾向于交易确定性而非对弱势方的保护的方式,质疑由于NOM条款的生效而产生的商业方的法律确定性是否像看起来那样具有吸引力。

Enforcement in England and Wales of arbitral awards set aside in their country of origin 在英格兰和威尔士执行在其原籍国撤销的仲裁裁决

ABSTRACT In the decision of Nikolay Viktorovich Maximov v Open Joint Stock Company ‘Novolipetsky Metallurgichesky Kombinat’, the English High Court dismissed the claimant's application to enforce a Russian arbitral award that had been set aside in Russia. The High Court held that in order to refuse recognition of the annulment decision, ‘[t]he decision of the foreign court must be deliberately wrong, not simply wrong by incompetence’. The High Court found that the claimant had failed to discharge this heavy burden, notwithstanding its ‘severe criticism’ of the Russian annulment decision. The case serves as a reminder of the difficulties that a party will face in seeking to enforce an arbitral award in England if it has been set aside in the country of origin.
摘要在Nikolay Viktorovich Maximov诉Novolipetsky metallurgical ichesky Kombinat Open Joint Stock Company一案的判决中,英国高等法院驳回了原告要求执行在俄罗斯被搁置的仲裁裁决的申请。高等法院认为,为了拒绝承认撤销决定,“外国法院的决定必须是故意错误的,而不仅仅是由于无能而错误的”。高等法院认为,尽管对俄罗斯的撤销决定提出“严厉批评”,但索赔人未能解除这一沉重负担。该案件提醒人们,如果仲裁裁决在原籍国被撤销,一方当事人在英国寻求执行仲裁裁决时将面临的困难。

Exclusive rights of patent owners versus rights of chattel owners: the implied licence approach 专利所有人的排他性权利与动产所有人的权利:默示许可法

ABSTRACT Everybody who owns a smartphone is the chattel owner of an artefact embodying patented inventions. The extent to which one may use the smartphone depends on the scope of patent rights and the implied licences granted by the patent owners. Little attention has been given to this in New Zealand. This article seeks to address this gap by exploring patentees’ exclusive rights and implied licences and how these play out domestically and internationally. It examines the convoluted case law that traverses the interface between patent exclusive rights and chattel owner rights. The article focuses on New Zealand, but borrows case law from the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada to fill gaps. It surmises that the current law in New Zealand is complicated and fact-dependent, and relatively pro-patentee as opposed to pro-chattel owner. The article concludes by analysing whether an exhaustion model would be simpler and more balanced than the implied licence approach.
每个拥有智能手机的人都是一件体现专利发明的人工制品的动产所有者。人们可以使用智能手机的程度取决于专利权的范围和专利所有者授予的隐含许可。在新西兰,很少有人注意到这一点。本文试图通过探索专利权人的专有权和默示许可,以及这些权利在国内和国际上如何发挥作用,来解决这一差距。它考察了错综复杂的判例法,跨越专利专有权和动产所有人权利之间的接口。本文主要以新西兰为研究对象,但也借鉴了英国、澳大利亚和加拿大的判例法来填补空白。它推测,新西兰现行法律是复杂的和事实依赖的,相对于支持动产所有人,有利于专利权人。文章最后分析了用尽模型是否比默示许可方法更简单和更平衡。

Trumping TRIPS: Indian patent proficiency and the evolution of an evergreening enigma 胜过TRIPS:印度专利熟练程度和一个常青之谜的演变

ABSTRACT Section 3(d) of India’s Patents Act forbids patents on pharmaceutical substances that do not demonstrate a significantly enhanced efficacy over and above prior known substances. This article discusses the long and tortuous history of the provision. Only after an extended period of difficulty did India get to grips with World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and interpret it strategically to benefit the nation and its industry. This sophistication reached a near crescendo with the emergence of section 3(d), its crude drafting notwithstanding. India’s efforts to tailor its patent regime to promote the national interest whilst remaining compliant with TRIPS stands in stark contrast to a number of other countries that have simply toed the line of the developed world’s maximalist intellectual property (IP) agenda. As such, it represents a significant milestone and a valuable lesson in the IP and development debates.
摘要:印度《专利法》第3(d)条禁止对未显示出比现有已知物质显著增强疗效的药物进行专利。本文论述了该条款漫长而曲折的历史。只有在经历了长时间的困难之后,印度才着手执行世界贸易组织的《与贸易有关的知识产权协定》,并从战略上对其进行解释,以造福国家及其产业。随着第3(d)条的出现,这种复杂程度几乎达到了顶点,尽管它的起草很粗糙。印度努力调整其专利制度,以促进国家利益,同时遵守《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》,这与其他一些国家完全遵循发达国家最大化知识产权议程形成了鲜明对比。因此,它是知识产权和发展辩论中的一个重要里程碑和宝贵教训。

The public prosecutor and sentencing: drug trafficking and the death penalty in Singapore 公诉人与量刑:新加坡的贩毒与死刑
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2018-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/14729342.2018.1471835

ABSTRACT The Public Prosecutor has a role to play in assisting the courts in sentencing. However, the extent of this role remains controversial with different jurisdictions drawing the line at different points. It is generally accepted that the Public Prosecutor, as a member of the Executive, should not be empowered to determine the sentence, as doing so would violate the doctrine of the separation of powers. This article examines the role of the Public Prosecutor in sentencing in the context of drug trafficking offences that carry the death penalty in Singapore. The Government has abolished the mandatory death penalty and replaced it with discretionary sentencing when certain conditions are met, one of which is that the Public Prosecutor has certified that the offender has rendered substantive assistance in disrupting drug trafficking activities. This discretionary power is largely protected from judicial review, raising an important constitutional question pertaining to the separation of powers.
检察官在协助法院量刑方面发挥着重要作用。然而,这一作用的范围仍然存在争议,不同的司法管辖区在不同的点上划清界限。一般认为,检察官作为行政部门的一员,不应被授权决定量刑,因为这样做会违反三权分立的原则。本文探讨了检察官在新加坡可判处死刑的贩毒罪行的量刑方面的作用。政府废除了强制性死刑,代之以在满足某些条件时的酌定量刑,其中一个条件是,检察官证明罪犯在破坏贩毒活动方面提供了实质性协助。这种自由裁量权在很大程度上受到保护,不受司法审查,这就提出了一个与三权分立有关的重要宪法问题。

This discretionary power is largely protected from judicial review, raising an important constitutional question pertaining to the separation of powers.","PeriodicalId":35148,"journal":{"name":"Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14729342.2018.1471835","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47579056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
