Judicial Interpretations

Corporations and business houses of the present day require sound redressal mechanisms to mitigate commercial disputes with ease and efficiency. „Forum selection clauses‟ are an easy way out of the turmoil often faced by firms during contractual disputes. Traditionally, the United Kingdom and the United States of America have been very restrictive about enforcing forum selection clauses, however liberalizing it very recently. This article through doctrinal study shows the present situation for forum selection enforcement in India and United States. Courts in India generally have followed the trend as laid down in the United States. There have been diverse judicial interpretations regarding validity of forum selections clauses across the common law system. The article discusses the judicial interpretations which has led to the evolution and development of such contract clauses.

The Common

We propose here to lay before English-speaking lawyers a general survey of the rights of shareholders in that form of société, which is described in continental law as société anonyme, compagnie anonyme or société par actions; and we shall endeavour to do it in a way which will be easily understood by “common” lawyers. We shall be considering in general continental rights, that is to say, those prevailing in the civil law countries not only of Western Europe but also of Latin America. We shall leave aside the Soviet countries, where the problems of shareholders' rights do not arise in the same way as under the so-called capitalist régimes; it may even be said that in fact there are no sociétés anonymes there with private capital and therefore these problems do not arise in practice. We shall also disregard the law of the United States of America, which lies within the common law framework and is more accessible to English lawyers.

String thirty three coral atolls together and you have Kiribati, one of the smallest countries in the world. Scatter these scratches of coral across an area of the Pacific Ocean equivalent to the United States of America, and you start to comprehend the immutable obstacles facing this precarious little nation's existence just north of the equator.

Universal Health

In this chapter, Mark Britnell takes a close look at the American healthcare system. He analyses the openly polarized American society, and how this is reflected in its health systems. American healthcare can deliver the finest service to some, and yet leave millions without insurance. It is the only OECD country without universal health coverage but leads the world in research. He looks at the United States’s slightly low density of physicians with 2.6 per 1,000 population compared with the OECD average of 3.0, and how this aggregate figure hides shortfalls and surpluses across the country spanning specialties, regions, and income brackets.

This paper analyzes various conditions that one spiritual creation must provide in order to be considered an author's work, according to the law of the United States of America. Apart from the peculiarities that are the result of the Anglo-Saxon concept of copyright, there are other specifics such as the special, constitutionally provided, purpose of copyright in promoting learning, preserving the public domain and protecting copyright. Based on the provisions of the Federal Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.) and examples from the case law, the author explains how the originality of a work is interpreted, how the condition that the work must embody in a materialized medium is regulated and what are the typical types of copyrighted works. In addition, the author explains the main differences when it comes to American Copyright system and how the concept of registration is viewed, after the ratification of the Bern Convention, which is one of the most common causes of the problem of protection of works whose right holders are unknown, which is extremely notable when speaking of the protection of cultural heritage of marginalized groups in American society. The paper aims to point out the similarities and differences between the copyright of the USA and the law of the continental legal system in terms of the conditions for the protection of copyright works.
