ABSTRACT The rigid interface between the enforcement provisions of patents under TRIPS standards and the institutional, technical and human resource capacity deficiencies means that political decisions to exploit the TRIPS flexibilities to promote access to medicines in the context of Africa is almost an exercise in futility. Notably, the Development Agenda under the auspices of WIPO often follows the North-South model, and the failings are well documented in the empirical literature, as this has brought little institutional change. For instance, the judiciary that could help to provide an interpretation of the TRIPS flexibilities to promote public health simply lacks capacity. At the same time, the Indian judiciary, through the lens of human rights norms, is widely known for its functional activism in the interpretation of the TRIPS provisions consistent with public health protection, and is the best example for African countries. It is on this basis that this paper attempts a critical exploration of judicial cooperation based on a South-South model with a view to underlining its doctrinal significance for African countries. Therefore, the author questions the rationality of African countries’ exclusive reliance on so-called North-South capacity building and argues that the South-South judicial cooperation model would provide a logical platform that could operate alongside the conventional North-South system for building institutional, technical, and human resource-based aspects of capacity for its judiciary to interpret TRIPS in a manner consistent with human rights norms to promote access to medicines.
摘要《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》标准下的专利强制执行条款与机构、技术和人力资源能力的缺陷之间的僵硬联系意味着,利用《与贸易相关的知识产权协定》的灵活性在非洲促进药品获取的政治决定几乎是徒劳的。值得注意的是,知识产权组织主持下的《发展议程》通常遵循南北模式,经验文献中充分记录了这些失败,因为这几乎没有带来制度变革。例如,可以帮助解释《与贸易有关的知识产权协定》的灵活性以促进公共卫生的司法机构根本缺乏能力。与此同时,从人权规范的角度来看,印度司法机构以其在解释符合公共卫生保护的《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》条款方面的职能积极性而广为人知,是非洲国家的最佳榜样。正是在此基础上,本文试图对基于南南模式的司法合作进行批判性探索,以强调其对非洲国家的理论意义。因此,作者质疑非洲国家完全依赖所谓的南北能力建设的合理性,并认为南南司法合作模式将提供一个逻辑平台,可以与传统的南北体系一起运作,以及司法部门以符合人权规范的方式解释《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》以促进获得药品的能力的人力资源方面。

ABSTRACT In Canada (Attorney General) v Fairmont Hotels Inc 2016 SCC 56 the Supreme Court of Canada corrected a wrong turn in the Canadian law of rectification, returning it to a position of harmony with the approach taken in English and Australian law. This note examines the case and explores the position adopted in two leading Commonwealth jurisdictions: England and Australia.

Characterisation of a foreign maritime lien by the lex fori 法院对外国船舶留置权的定性
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2017-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/14729342.2017.1342756

ABSTRACT In The ‘Halcyon Isle’, a bare majority of the Privy Council held that questions as to the recognition of a foreign maritime lien are to be determined by the lex fori. The case divided the common law world. Recently, in The Ship ‘Sam Hawk’ v Reiter Petroleum Inc, the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia held that The ‘Halcyon Isle’ should apply in Australia. The practical effect of the decision is that it will prevent many creditors, who could assert the existence of a maritime lien under United States law, from proceeding in rem in Australia. The case is also notable for providing a rare discussion of characterisation in a choice-of-law problem. This comment explores what The ‘Sam Hawk’ means for maritime law and private international law more broadly.
摘要在“太平岛”一案中,枢密院的绝大多数成员认为,关于承认外国船舶留置权的问题应由法律决定。该案在普通法界引起了分歧。最近,在“Sam Hawk”船诉Reiter石油公司案中,澳大利亚联邦法院合议庭裁定,“Halcyon island”应适用于澳大利亚。该决定的实际影响是,它将阻止许多债权人在澳大利亚提起对物诉讼,而这些债权人可以根据美国法律主张存在海事留置权。该案件还因提供了对法律选择问题中特征的罕见讨论而引人注目。这篇评论更广泛地探讨了“山姆霍克”对海商法和国际私法的意义。

Preventive detention laws in Bangladesh and their increased use during emergencies: a proposal for reform 孟加拉国的预防性拘留法及其在紧急情况下的更多使用:改革建议
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2017-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/14729342.2017.1306943

ABSTRACT The resort to the extreme power of preventive detention, which contradicts the basic tenets of human rights by permitting executive dispensation of the right to liberty, is generally recognised as an administrative necessity in times of grave emergencies, such as war, external aggression, subversion or civil unrest, to prevent mischief against the state. Unlike the constitutions of India and Pakistan, the Constitution of Bangladesh did not originally warrant the exercise of the power of preventive detention under any circumstances. However, on 22 September 1973, the Constitution of Bangladesh was amended thereby empowering the Parliament to enact laws concerning preventive detention, without stipulating the safeguards necessary for mitigating the harshness of such laws. Furthermore, the 1973 Constitutional Amendment neither confines the power of preventive detention to formally declared periods of emergency nor specifies a maximum time-frame for keeping an individual in preventive custody. This article will argue that the weakness of the constitutional provisions concerning preventive detention has facilitated the excessive and unjust use of preventive detention during declared periods of emergency in Bangladesh. Consequently, this article will put forward recommendations for an amendment to the Constitution of Bangladesh inserting a number of guarantees that will prevent the abuse of the powers concerning preventive detention and also safeguard humane treatment of the individuals kept in preventive custody.
人们普遍认为,在战争、外部侵略、颠覆或内乱等严重紧急情况下,诉诸预防性拘留的极端权力,以防止对国家的危害,这与人权的基本原则相矛盾。与印度和巴基斯坦的宪法不同,孟加拉国的宪法最初并不保证在任何情况下行使预防性拘留的权力。然而,1973年9月22日,对《孟加拉国宪法》进行了修订,从而授权议会颁布有关预防性拘留的法律,但没有规定减轻这些法律的严厉性所需的保障措施。此外,1973年《宪法修正案》既没有将预防性拘留的权力局限于正式宣布的紧急状态,也没有规定将个人拘留在预防性拘留中的最长时限。这篇文章将指出,关于预防性拘留的宪法条款的薄弱,助长了孟加拉国在宣布的紧急状态期间过度和不公正地使用预防性拘留。因此,本条将建议对《孟加拉国宪法》进行修正,加入一些保障措施,以防止滥用预防性拘留的权力,并保障对被预防性拘留者的人道待遇。

The narrow approach to substantive legitimate expectations and the trend of modern authority 对实质性合法期望的狭隘看法与现代权威的趋势

ABSTRACT In the recent Privy Council decision of United Policyholders Group v Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago, Lord Carnwath supplied an interesting and helpful discussion of substantive legitimate expectations. This case note reflects on Lord Carnwath’s conclusions and how they speak to important current debates about the doctrine. In particular, it will be argued that Lord Carnwath’s conclusions provoke reflection on: (a) the status of the seminal Coughlan case in contemporary thinking about the doctrine; (b) how far claims about the advent of the protection of substantive expectations representing a worrying expansion of judicial power have been properly investigated; (c) whether it is necessary to reflect deeply on the theoretical basis of the principle; and (d) the defensibility of the ‘trend of modern authority’ to interpret the dicta in the Coughlan case ‘narrowly’.
在最近的枢密院裁决联合保单持有人集团诉特立尼达和多巴哥总检察长案中,卡纳沃斯勋爵对实质性的合法期望进行了有趣而有益的讨论。本案例笔记反思了坎沃斯勋爵的结论,以及这些结论如何与当前有关该教义的重要辩论相关联。特别值得一提的是,卡恩沃斯勋爵的结论引发了对以下问题的反思:(a)考夫兰案在当代对该学说的思考中的地位;(b)关于保护实质性期望的出现代表令人担忧的司法权力扩大的主张,已在多大程度上得到适当调查;(三)是否需要深入反思该原则的理论基础;(d)“现代权威趋势”对考夫兰案判决的“狭义”解释的可辩护性。

Negligence and utility 过失与效用
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2017-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/14729342.2017.1311513
Allan Beever
ABSTRACT This article examines the claim that assessment of the standard of care in the law of negligence utilises and must utilise considerations of utility. It argues that this position is mistaken. It also maintains that cases frequently thought to support this view do not do so. The article also examines the justice of appeals to utility in the relevant cases and examines the appropriate way to deal with emergency situations.
摘要本文考察了过失法中对注意标准的评估利用并且必须利用效用考虑的主张。它认为这种立场是错误的。它还坚持认为,经常被认为支持这一观点的案例并不支持这一观点。本文还探讨了在有关案件中向公用事业公司提出上诉的公正性,并探讨了处理紧急情况的适当方式。

A battle of rights: the right to education of children versus rights of minority schools 一场权利之战:儿童受教育权与少数民族学校的权利之争
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2016-07-02 DOI: 10.1080/14729342.2017.1285103

ABSTRACT The last decade and a half have witnessed radical changes in the right to education in India. In 2002, a constitutional amendment codified the right to education as a fundamental constitutional right. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 (RTE Act) was subsequently enacted to provide a statutory framework for this right’s realisation. These developments have, however, not been without controversy, particularly with respect to the RTE Act’s application to linguistic and religious minority schools. In this article, we analyse the consequences of two Supreme Court judgments that exempted all minority schools from the purview of the Act. We argue that the minority exemption has diluted the core of the RTE Act, which was envisioned as a law guaranteeing the right and access to quality education to all children in India. We then make recommendations aimed at stemming the unwelcome consequences of these judgments.
在过去的15年里,印度的受教育权发生了根本性的变化。2002年,宪法修正案将受教育权定为宪法基本权利。随后颁布了《2009年儿童免费义务教育法》(RTE法),为实现这一权利提供了法律框架。然而,这些发展并非没有争议,特别是关于RTE法案适用于语言和宗教少数民族学校的问题。在本文中,我们分析了两项最高法院判决的后果,这两项判决将所有少数民族学校排除在该法案的管辖范围之外。我们认为,少数族裔豁免削弱了RTE法案的核心,该法案被设想为保障印度所有儿童享有接受优质教育的权利和机会的法律。然后,我们提出建议,旨在阻止这些判断的不受欢迎的后果。

Judges as legislators: benevolent exercise of powers by the higher judiciary in Bangladesh with not so benevolent consequences 作为立法者的法官:孟加拉国高级司法机构仁慈地行使权力,结果却不那么仁慈
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2016-07-02 DOI: 10.1080/14729342.2016.1272943

ABSTRACT Recently in Bangladesh, there is a discernible (albeit rare) trend of the Supreme Court passing directives to the government for making laws for redressing specific wrongs or addressing some issues of public importance. While this type of directives is apparently motivated by a benevolent desire for ensuring better governance, this paper argues that this is an affront to the well-established theory of separation of powers and leads to undesired consequences. Though not intentional, this practice of issuing directives effectively undermines the government as well as the overall political system of Bangladesh. Arguably, this sort of judgments projects an image that the political forces in Bangladesh are dysfunctional and indirectly cements the power and image of apolitical forces in Bangladesh, which in the long run corrodes democratic values and undermines, if not threatens, the prospect of a functioning democracy in Bangladesh.
最近在孟加拉国,有一种明显的(尽管罕见的)趋势,即最高法院通过指令,要求政府制定法律,以纠正特定的错误或解决一些具有公共重要性的问题。虽然这种类型的指令显然是出于确保更好治理的善意愿望,但本文认为,这是对公认的三权分立理论的侮辱,并会导致不希望的后果。虽然不是故意的,但这种发布指令的做法实际上破坏了政府以及孟加拉国的整个政治体系。可以说,这种判断投射出一种孟加拉国政治力量功能失调的形象,间接地巩固了孟加拉国非政治力量的权力和形象,从长远来看,这会侵蚀民主价值观,破坏(如果不是威胁的话)孟加拉国民主运作的前景。

A renewed consideration of consideration: MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd v Rock Advertising Ltd [2016] EWCA CIV 553 重新考虑:MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd诉Rock Advertising Ltd [2016] EWCA CIV 553

ABSTRACT This note argues that the English Court of Appeal decision of MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd v Rock Advertising Ltd is a significant modification of the present understanding of consideration with respect to agreements to accept part-payments of a debt and to perform pre-existing duties, and that the preferred way forward for the development of the law should be judicial intervention by the Supreme Court to reconcile the logical inconsistencies between Foakes v Beer and Williams v Roffey Bros & Nicholls (Contractors) Ltd.
摘要本文认为,英国上诉法院对MWB商业交流中心有限公司诉Rock广告有限公司一案的判决,是对目前关于接受部分债务支付和履行预先存在的义务的协议的对地理解的重大修改。法律发展的最佳途径应该是由最高法院进行司法干预,以调和福克斯诉比尔案和威廉姆斯诉罗菲兄弟和尼科尔斯(承包商)有限公司案之间的逻辑矛盾。

What is ‘unjust enrichment’ for? 什么是“不当得利”?

By many accounts, unjust enrichment is well-developed as an aspect of private law, distinct from property, contract and tort. But the reasons justifying it are not. The modern scholarship gives elaborate accounts describing the law, but has nothing substantial to offer as to why the law is there—or, indeed, whether it should be there at all. Charlie Webb’s Reason and Restitution: A Theory of Unjust Enrichment, recently published by Oxford University Press, now seeks to fill this gap. His conclusion is a striking one: while it is right that we have such a law, the reasons for it have nothing to do with unjust enrichment, and rather a lot to do with property, contract and wrongs. The idea that there is a distinct set of reasons, additional to those motivating the rest of private law, turns out to be an illusion.
从许多方面来看,不当得利作为私法的一个方面得到了很好的发展,与财产法、合同法和侵权法截然不同。但证明这一点的理由却并非如此。现代学术对法律给出了详尽的描述,但对于法律为什么存在——或者,实际上,它是否应该存在——却没有实质性的解释。牛津大学出版社最近出版的查理·韦伯的《理性与赔偿:一种不正当致富理论》试图填补这一空白。他的结论是惊人的:虽然我们有这样一部法律是正确的,但它的原因与不正当致富无关,而与财产、合同和错误有很大关系。有一种观点认为,除了那些推动私法其余部分的原因之外,还有一套独特的原因,这被证明是一种错觉。
