This book discusses the law of set-off in thirty-four jurisdictions and the different approaches used to deal with the right of set-off where parties are solvent, where a party is insolvent and where parties operate across borders. Set-off refers to the right to reduce or fully discharge a monetary obligation owed by a debtor against a claim owed to the debtor such that only the balance remains. The right to set-off may arise due to a contractual arrangement between the parties or by the operation of law, including insolvency or bankruptcy laws. Set-off has emerged as an important tool in the negotiation of financial and commercial contracts and in dispute resolution. This introduction provides an overview of set-off, with a particular focus on set-off between solvent parties and set-off against insolvent parties. It also considers conflict of laws and cross-border issues arising in set-off against solvent parties and insolvent parties.

This chapter examines the law of set-off in Chile, both before and after insolvency, as well as the alternatives for contractual set-off structures that may be agreed among two or more parties. In Chile, set-off was created as a legal concept primarily on the basis of practical considerations rather than juridical principles. The right to set-off may arise due to a contractual arrangement between the parties or by the operation of law, including the Chilean Civil Code. The chapter first considers set-off in Chile outside insolvency, focusing on set-off by operation of law and contractual set-off, before discussing set-off in insolvency. In particular, it explains the implications of a declaration of liquidation under Chilean Bankruptcy Law and its possible consequences for set-off rights. It also analyses issues arising in cross-border set-off.

The Law

In deciding cases of private international law or conflict of laws, as it is widely known, judges of the Supreme Court in India generally consult the works of renowned English jurists like Dicey and Cheshire. This volume argues that our country should have its own system of resolving inter-territorial issues with cross-border implications. The author critically analyses cases covering areas such as the law of obligations, the law of persons, the law of property, foreign judgments, and foreign arbitral awards. The author provides his perspectives on the application of law in each case. The idea is to find out where the judges went wrong in deciding cases of private international law, so that corrective measures can be taken in future to resolve disputes involving complex, extra-territorial issues.

The article has investigated the mechanisms of the national (both legal and non-legal) regulation of orphan works, i.e. works the holder (holders) of rights to which is (are) not identified and/or the location of the rights-holder is not established. Orphan works are supposedly protected by copyright, which means the validity of exclusive rights and the potential need to obtain permission from the copyright holder for any form of using the works under consideration, namely: reproduction including digitization, translation, processing, etc. However, in a situation where the right holder is not determined (is unavailable), the user does not have an objective opportunity to obtain such a permission, and the work actually remains unknown to the society, although it can be of artistic, cultural or historical value. Since the beginning of the new millennium, the national legal systems of a number of States have establish a special regime for the legal protection of orphan works, and about 20 states of the world have developed the foundations of such a regime so far. The article analyzes the regulation of orphan works in several states — in the EU and its member states, Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Korea, Japan, India. The authors have determined the foundations of the substantive and conflict of laws regulation of cross-border relations regulating orphan works. Features of regulation of works with an unidentified author in the era of a network society are highlighted: in particular, the need to digitize orphan works, since many of them are in a single copy on the medium ruined by time, and the fact that the digitized work can instantly spread from databases to other jurisdictions. The authors provide for the forecast of possible ways of evolution of legal regulation of relations in question with the use of mechanisms of national and international law.

The authors point to the plurality of forms of consumer protection. Private law form of consumer protection is individual protection in civil proceedings. The protection of the collective interests of consumers in most European legal systems is achieved through litigation. The Consumer Protection Act entrusts the protection of the collective interests of consumers to administrative bodies, which is realized in administrative proceedings, whose rules are characterized by considerable differences in relation to the rules provided by the Law on General Administrative Procedure. A significant unit is dedicated to the mechanism of alternative dispute resolution, especially arbitration and mediation. The shortcomings of the Law on Consumer Protection regarding certain contradictory provisions are pointed out. The legislator stimulates alternative dispute resolution, and on the other hand stipulates that contracting one of these methods does not affect the right to judicial protection. The paper also analyses the inspection.

This chapter discusses the law of set-off in Sweden. Set-off in Sweden has developed through case law and legal commentary although legislation has been considered necessary in certain areas such as bankruptcy. The legal landscape of set-off can be divided into two sets of principles, those applying outside bankruptcy and those applying in bankruptcy. The chapter first considers set-off between solvent parties, focusing on set-off after a transfer of the principal claim, contractual arrangements, and set-off as security interests. It then examines set-off against insolvent parties, with emphasis on restrictions regarding the right of set-off in bankruptcy, recovery of set-off effected before bankruptcy, and close-out netting. It also analyses cross-border issues with respect to applicable law for set-off outside bankruptcy, applicable law for set-off in bankruptcy, and the conditions for cross-border set-off under Swedish law.

This chapter discusses the law of set-off in South Korea, along with certain restrictions on the exercise of the right of set-off in insolvency proceedings. The legal framework for set-off in South Korea is based on the Civil Code. The courts have also generally supported set-off as a means of satisfying a claim or discharging debt. The Korean Private International Law does not expressly lay down the governing law for set-off. This governing law issue is commonly discussed under two scenarios: set-off is undertaken on the basis of a set-off agreement between the parties; and set-off is undertaken in the absence of an agreement. The chapter first considers the governing law of contractual and non-contractual set-off in South Korea before turning to set-off between solvent parties and set-off against insolvent parties. It also analyses issues arising in cross-border set-off.

This chapter discusses the law of set-off in Canada both outside and within insolvency. The law relating to set-off is very similar throughout Canada's provinces except Quebec. Set-off is thus a matter of provincial law in general and determining whether a set-off claim is valid and enforceable will depend on the law of the province where such claim is being asserted. The chapter first provides an overview of set-off between solvent parties in Canada, focusing on legal set-off, equitable set-off, statutory set-off, contractual set-off, set-off in relation to subsidiaries, and the right of set-off with regard to security interests. It then considers set-off against insolvent parties, taking into account bankruptcy proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, receiverships, and reorganization proceedings under the Companies Creditors' Arrangement Act. It also examines issues that arise when the law of set-off is applied in a cross-border context.
