This article reflects on the property settlement provisions under Section 72 of the Nigerian Matrimonial Causes Act No. 18 of 1970 Cap M7 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004. Noting that the said section was adapted from Section 86 of the repealed Australian Matrimonial Causes Act No. 104 of 1959 (Cth), it makes a comparative analysis of both provisions. It makes a finding that there exists a difference in the interpretation and application of the property settlement provisions in both countries. It notes that in Australia, under the repealed act and the extant law [ (the Family Law Act No. 59 of 1975 (Cth) ], there has been a change in emphasis from making property settlement orders only within the purview of spousal maintenance orders to the alteration of property rights. In contrast, Nigerian courts have shown that besides settling property on a spouse as a means of making maintenance orders, they are not empowered to alter the property interests of spouses by way of making a redistribution order. In this light, the article calls for a rethink of the law in Nigeria so as to reflect the true proprietary relationship of spouses on marriage breakdown.
本文反映了尼日利亚联邦法律(2004年第M7章)1970年第18号《尼日利亚婚姻原因法》第72条的财产解决规定。注意到该节改编自已废除的1959年第104号《澳大利亚婚姻原因法》(联邦)第86节,它对这两项规定进行了比较分析。研究发现,两国在财产结算条款的解释和适用上存在差异。委员会注意到,在澳大利亚,根据已废除的法令和现行法律[1975年第59号《家庭法》(加拿大)],重点已从只在配偶赡养令范围内作出财产和解令转变为改变财产权。相比之下,尼日利亚法院表明,除了将财产分配给配偶作为作出赡养令的一种手段外,它们没有权力通过作出再分配令来改变配偶的财产利益。有鉴于此,该条呼吁重新考虑尼日利亚的法律,以便反映婚姻破裂时配偶之间真正的所有权关系。

The Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements and the enforcement of forum-selection clauses in Indian private international law 《海牙法院选择协议公约》与印度国际私法中法院选择条款的执行

The Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements (the HCCA) that came into effect on 1 October 2015, fundamentally regulates forum-selection clauses in international civil and commercial agreements and the manner in which, the courts of Contracting States shall enforce them. Although India is a member of the Hague Conference, it is yet to sign and ratify the HCCA. In the domestic realm, matters pertaining to jurisdiction are governed in India by the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) 1908, with there being no particular provision to regulate the enforcement of forum-selection clauses in international matters. This article rummages to find whether Indian courts correspondingly enforce forum-selection clauses in international civil and commercial agreements, so as to suspend or dismiss proceedings in circumstances where the parties have made a choice in favour of an international court. Accordingly, it demonstrates the basis on which, Indian courts would uphold exclusive choice of court agreements in international civil and commercial matters, to draw the complementarities, if any, that exist in this respect, between the HCCA and Indian private international law.
2015年10月1日生效的《海牙法院选择协议公约》(以下简称《公约》)从根本上规范了国际民商事协议中的法院选择条款以及缔约国法院执行这些条款的方式。虽然印度是海牙会议的成员,但它尚未签署和批准《海牙公约》。在国内领域,与管辖权有关的事项在印度由1908年《民事诉讼法》管辖,其中没有规定在国际事务中执行法庭选择条款的具体规定。本文试图找出印度法院是否相应地执行国际民商事协议中的法庭选择条款,以便在当事人作出有利于国际法院的选择的情况下暂停或驳回诉讼。因此,它展示了印度法院在国际民商事事务中维护排他性法院选择协议的基础,以便在HCCA和印度国际私法之间获得这方面存在的互补性(如果有的话)。

Reflections on recent developments regarding wage garnishment in South Africa 对南非拖欠工资最近事态发展的思考
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2018-01-01 DOI: 10.1504/IJPL.2018.10012900

A wage garnishment order is an effective and widely used method to collect judgment debts where the debtor is employed in the formal sector. However, procedures whereby the orders are obtained should be carefully drafted to curb possible abuses. In South Africa, the circumstances under which such orders could be obtained led to abuse of the process in practice, with sometimes tragic consequences. Fortunately, the South African Apex Court confirmed the unconstitutionality of the aspects of the procedure that led to abuse of the process. Also, the Department of Justice and Correctional Services introduced an act, which mainly seeks to amend the procedure to address abuses in the debt recovery system. This contribution reflects on these developments against the backdrop of the present socioeconomic circumstances in South Africa. Some comparative research was done which is also considered. The ultimate aim of the contribution is to determine whether South Africa has adequately transformed its wage garnishment landscape to curb abuse.
扣押工资令是一种有效的、广泛使用的方法,可以在债务人受雇于正规部门的情况下追讨判决债务。但是,应当仔细拟订取得命令的程序,以制止可能的滥用。在南非,可以获得这种命令的情况导致在实践中滥用这一程序,有时造成悲剧性后果。幸运的是,南非最高法院确认该程序中导致滥用该程序的某些方面是违反宪法的。此外,司法和惩教部提出了一项法案,其主要目的是修改程序,以解决债务追讨制度中的滥用问题。这一贡献反映了在南非目前社会经济情况背景下的这些事态发展。并进行了比较研究。这项贡献的最终目的是确定南非是否已充分改变其工资发放状况,以遏制滥用行为。

Online copyright infringement, techno-cultural creations and the copyright-technology nexus 网络著作权侵权、技术文化创作与著作权与技术的关系
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2018-01-01 DOI: 10.1504/IJPL.2018.097328

This paper considers how the principle of technology neutrality could be applied in copyright law to inform legislative provisions and court decisions on infringement in the digital environment. It specifically examines Canadian and South African legislative and judicial approaches to user generated content (UGC) and to news aggregation. This discussion encompasses the use of exceptions and limitations to cater for these, and other, online practices. It finds that the Canadian UGC exception was necessitated by the fact that the enumerated purposes of the fair dealing exception do not extend to UGC. Therefore, it recommends the introduction of a UGC exception to South African law, if the current fair dealing exception is retained. In contrast, jurisdictions that have the broader and more flexible fair use exception do not require a specific UGC exception. News aggregation is covered by enumerated fair dealing purposes in South Africa, therefore no legislative amendments are recommended.
本文探讨了如何在版权法中应用技术中立原则,为数字环境中侵权的立法规定和法院判决提供信息。它特别研究了加拿大和南非对用户生成内容(UGC)和新闻聚合的立法和司法方法。本讨论包括使用例外和限制来满足这些以及其他在线实践。委员会认为,加拿大的教资会例外是必要的,因为公平处理例外的列举目的并不适用于教资会。因此,它建议在南非法律中引入教资会例外,如果保留目前的公平处理例外。相比之下,拥有更广泛和更灵活的合理使用例外的司法管辖区并不需要特定的UGC例外。在南非,新闻聚合由列举的公平交易目的所涵盖,因此不建议进行立法修订。

Artificial reproductive technologies and international law: the role of human rights 人工生殖技术与国际法:人权的作用

The paper considers the role of international human rights law in regulating artificial reproductive technologies (ART), both from the perspective of the law-making process and of the law interpretation by international human rights courts. In addressing these two profiles, the author explores a double dimension: on the one hand, the limits to ART in order to respect human dignity and/or to protect the embryo; on the other, the need to balance conflicting interests arising from the application of ART. The study reveals that the international law-making process on ART is at a very early stage, while human rights courts play a prominent role in ruling on these technologies. As its case law demonstrates, the European Court of Human Rights elaborates argumentative ploys to back its conclusions. In doing so, it expresses ethical stances capable of influencing the moral debate on divisive topics.
本文从立法过程和国际人权法院的法律解释两方面探讨了国际人权法在规范人工生殖技术方面的作用。在解决这两种情况时,作者探讨了一个双重维度:一方面,为了尊重人类尊严和/或保护胚胎而限制ART;另一方面,需要平衡因ART的应用而产生的利益冲突。研究表明,抗逆转录病毒治疗的国际立法进程处于非常早期的阶段,而人权法院在对这些技术作出裁决方面发挥着突出作用。正如其判例法所显示的那样,欧洲人权法院详细阐述了论证策略来支持其结论。在这样做的过程中,它表达了能够影响关于分裂话题的道德辩论的伦理立场。

Financial liberalisation versus the regulation of capital outflows: reflections on capital movement restrictions in South Africa on the backdrop of South African Reserve Bank and Another v Shuttleworth and Another 2015 (5) SA 146 (CC) 金融自由化与资本外流监管:对南非资本流动限制的反思——基于南非储备银行和另一个v Shuttleworth和另一个2015 (5)SA 146 (CC)

One of the constraints to economic development in emerging economies has to do with unavailability of capital to fund economic activities. It is not surprising therefore that most jurisdictions have come up with mechanisms that are aimed at arresting capital leakages out of their borders. Such strategies include stringent regulation of capital mobility. Much as that approach is economically laudable, it nonetheless conflicts with the financial liberalisation agenda that most of these countries have subscribed to. In South Africa, the recent case of South African Reserve Bank and Another v Shuttleworth and Another rekindled this debate. This article is an attempt to ride on the waves that this judgment has created so as to add to the conversation about the necessity or otherwise, of regulation capital outflows within the South African context in particular and in emerging economies in general. As such, this is a discussion about a conflict. A conflict between two contrasting scholarships; one advocating for the preservation of capital controls, and the other intensely agitating for capital account liberalisation.
新兴经济体经济发展的制约因素之一与缺乏资金为经济活动提供资金有关。因此,大多数司法管辖区都提出了旨在阻止资本外流的机制,这并不奇怪。这些策略包括严格监管资本流动。尽管这种做法在经济上值得称赞,但它与大多数这些国家都赞同的金融自由化议程存在冲突。在南非,最近的南非储备银行和另一个诉沙特尔沃思和另一个案重新点燃了这一辩论。本文试图利用这一判断所产生的浪潮,从而增加关于在南非特别是新兴经济体背景下监管资本外流的必要性或其他必要性的讨论。因此,这是一个关于冲突的讨论。两个截然不同的奖学金之间的冲突;一个主张保留资本管制,另一个则强烈鼓动资本账户自由化。

With growing instances of deficiency in services in the e-commerce sector in India, this paper discusses the legal aspects with regard to liability, if any, of a digital aggregator operating via a third-party marketplace model. The main objective of the paper is to make policy suggestions that can prevent such aberrations and improve regulation of the sector as a whole. While doing so, the good practices adopted by Amazon India is explained as a case study and emphasised that it is worthwhile to treat digital aggregators as 'agents of e-commerce' than mere intermediaries. The paper envisages that disputes atypical to the sector require newer approaches in the nature of a novel e-adjudicatory system and a consumer regulatory authority having specialised expertise ought to encourage the digital aggregators to take a proactive role in making the online marketplace a reliable and wholesome experience for all stakeholders.
随着印度电子商务部门服务不足的情况越来越多,本文讨论了通过第三方市场模式运营的数字聚合器的责任(如果有)的法律方面。本文的主要目的是提出政策建议,以防止这种异常现象,并改善整个行业的监管。在这样做的同时,亚马逊印度采用的良好做法被解释为一个案例研究,并强调将数字聚合器视为“电子商务代理”而不仅仅是中介是值得的。该论文设想,对于该行业来说,非典型的争议需要一种新型电子裁决系统的新方法,而拥有专业知识的消费者监管机构应该鼓励数字聚合商发挥积极作用,使在线市场成为所有利益相关者可靠和健康的体验。

A consumer's case for regulating electronic credit and debit transfers in South Africa 南非一名消费者要求监管电子信贷和借记卡转账的案例

The OECD urges regulators to strengthen consumer protection for users of electronic payment systems, by ensuring that there are minimum levels of payment protection and that the protection applies uniformly. South Africa does not have dedicated legislation for electronic payments like the European Union's Payment Services Directives. The consequence is that the consumer carries a disproportionate amount of risk and when they resort to litigation it does not produce consistent results. The primary aim of this paper is to elucidate on the problems faced by these consumers through a short synapsis of South African court decisions. This position is in sharp contrast to the EU where among others the PSD2 aims to make payments more secure and to protect consumers. This paper's secondary aim is to explain how the EU is addressing the issues of refund rights for consumers, the rights and duties of consumers and payment institutions alike within the electronic payments arena.
经合组织敦促监管机构加强对电子支付系统用户的消费者保护,确保有最低水平的支付保护,并确保保护的统一适用。南非没有像欧盟的支付服务指令那样专门针对电子支付的立法。其结果是,消费者承担了不成比例的风险,当他们诉诸诉讼时,不会产生一致的结果。本文的主要目的是通过南非法院判决的简短突触来阐明这些消费者所面临的问题。这一立场与欧盟形成鲜明对比,其中PSD2旨在使支付更加安全并保护消费者。本文的第二个目的是解释欧盟如何解决消费者的退款权问题,消费者和支付机构在电子支付领域的权利和义务。

South Africa's highest courts recently abolished the common law action for adultery. In 2014, the Supreme Court of Appeal abolished the action on the ground that the conduct did not satisfy the wrongfulness requirement for delictual liability In 2015, the Constitutional Court confirmed abolition of the adultery remedy on constitutional grounds. These judgments did not consider the customary law adultery actions. South Africa's customary law systems will retain their adultery remedies unless these actions are also abolished. The Supreme Court of Appeal's reasoning might not be applicable to the customary law actions. It is also not certain that the Constitutional Court's reasoning will necessarily have the outcome that customary law actions for adultery must be abolished on constitutional grounds. It might be possible to argue that the sexual delicts in customary law are integrally linked to traditional customary marriage and thus protected by the constitutional right to culture. However, this argument appears weak in the context of the adultery remedy, as that remedy is not linked to core features of traditional culture. Thus the customary law action for adultery should also be abolished on constitutional grounds.
南非最高法院最近废除了通奸罪的普通法诉讼。2014年,最高上诉法院以该行为不符合过失责任的过错要件为由撤销了该诉讼;2015年,宪法法院以宪法理由确认了通奸救济的废除。这些判决没有考虑习惯法中的通奸行为。南非的习惯法制度将保留其通奸补救措施,除非这些行动也被废除。最高上诉法院的推理可能不适用于习惯法诉讼。宪法法院的推理也不确定是否一定会导致习惯法上的通奸行为必须以宪法为由废除的结果。也许可以争辩说,习惯法中的性不法行为与传统的习惯法婚姻是有机地联系在一起的,因此受到宪法文化权利的保护。然而,这一论点在通奸补救措施的背景下显得软弱无力,因为这种补救措施与传统文化的核心特征没有联系。因此,习惯法对通奸的诉讼也应基于宪法理由予以废除。
