This chapter deals with the alternative dispute resolution procedure outlined in Article 21 of the copyright order in Europe, Directive 2019/790. It examines disputes concerning the transparency obligation and the contract adjustment mechanism that may be applied for a voluntary, alternative dispute resolution procedure. It also refers to Member States that are required to ensure that representative organisations of authors and performers may initiate dispute resolution procedures at the specific request of one or more authors or performers. The chapter explains why authors and performers are often reluctant to enforce their rights against their contractual partners before a court or tribunal. It looks at the task of Member States to provide for an alternative dispute resolution procedure that addresses claims by authors and performers, or by their representatives on their behalf, related to obligations of transparency and the contract adjustment mechanism.

There is a legal disharmony with the Sharia Banking Law in the regulation on alternative dispute resolution institutions. This problem arises because the regulation does not pay attention to sharia principles, as mandated by Article 55, Paragraph 3 of the Sharia Banking Law. Meanwhile, the application of sharia principles is a spiritual right of consumers which also requires legal protection. This research is intended to assess alternative dispute resolution institutions' regulations, particularly Financial Services Authority Regulation from a consumer protection perspective, particularly spiritual rights. This research is categorized as an empirical normative study, using a philosophical, historical approach and a content analysis of the Financial Services Authority Regulation. The results of this study indicate that the Financial Services Authority Regulation on Alternative Dispute Resolution Institutions has not accommodated spiritual rights in dispute resolution for the Islamic banking industry. A weak understanding of spiritual rights causes it in the context of dispute resolution. It also creates another problem in the form of a lack of attention and policies that support the protection of spiritual rights, both in regulatory and banking institutions. In the context of dispute resolution, there are general consumer rights, such as the right to get advocacy, while the application of sharia principles is a special right. Based on these findings, it is recommended that regulatory institutions, particularly the Financial Services Authority, pay adequate attention to the entire financial service industry under their respective characteristics. It is an important matter because the protection of spiritual rights supports the development of the Islamic finance industry both in Indonesia and globally.

Zerov K. Copyright protection for computer programs. The article discusses the main approaches to the legal protection of software, particularly computer programs, in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine and foreign practices. It is concluded that copyright allows to adequately protect the forms of expression of a computer program: object and source codes of the program. It is noted that a computer program shall be protected if it is original in the sense that it is the author's own intellectual creation, and no other criteria shall be applied to determine its eligibility for protection in Ukraine. Like any other copyright object, a computer program has «legally indifferent» and «legally significant» elements of the form of expression. The legally indifferent elements of a computer program should include a) elements dictated by the efficiency of a computer program; (b) elements that are dictated by external factors; and (c) elements that the original programmer had taken from the public domain. The main approaches to the use (copying) of the source or object code of computer programs as part of other computer programs are given: «literal copying» and «non-literal copying.» It is concluded that «non-literal copying» of a computer program cannot violate the copyright law in Ukraine since the ideas and principles on which any element of a computer program is based are not protected by copyright. It is assumed that the modification of a computer program by eliminating technical means of protection and further use of computer program gives grounds to qualify such actions as two separate types of copyright infringement: infringement of the copyright holder's property rights and deliberately circumventing technical means of copyright protection. It is noted that in some scenarios, theuse of works under the limitation of copyright without circumvention of technical means may be impossible. The proposal to legislatively provide for the possibility of a person who has the right to freely use work to contact the copyright holder with a request to remove technical means solely for such use, as well as cases of permissible circumvention of technical means, has been made.Keywords: computer program, copyright, literal copying, non-literal copying

The EU is in an economic, social and political crisis, and there are vital expectations to enhance and restore trust, openness and transparency. The EU bodies which bring the EU and its citizens closer to each other gain even more importance. This paper will demonstrate that alternative dispute-resolution forums, like the office of the EU Ombudsman, have a multidirectional function. It was established to strengthen the fundamental rights of citizens and to enhance a more citizen- -friendly EU administration. The analysis highlights the forum’s importance in changing horizontal relations between different stakeholders into vertical during its procedure, for instance between EU institutions and EU citizens. The presentation of research explores these relations by analysing complaint cases and the EU Ombudsman-related cases of the CJEU. The paper argues that the right to complain to the EU Ombudsman, who is a direct link between EU institutions and EU citizens, and the potential of changing the above-mentioned functions, can strengthen the trust of Member States’ citizens and help them identify as European citizens. The cornerstone of this argument are the relations between the EU citizens, institutions and the Ombudsman.

This article examines the dispute resolution practices of Fair Work Australia that are evolving to deal with individual workplace rights, as its traditional role shifts away from conciliating and arbitrating collective industrial disputes. The workplace rights enshrined in the ‘general protections’ provisions in Part 3-1 of the Fair Work Act 2009 protect employees and prospective employees from any ‘adverse action’ taken against them because they are exercising a workplace right, or because they fall within one of the protected categories, such as the right to be free from discrimination. A broad range of alternative dispute resolution processes is now available to Fair Work Australia in dealing with such disputes. Alternative dispute resolution processes are seen as a way of avoiding costly and time-consuming litigation, and in some circumstances can improve access to justice for individuals. This article explores whether Fair Work Australia is likely to adopt different dispute resolution approaches from its traditional conciliation practices when managing ‘general protections’ applications, and whether the framework for dealing with these disputes will facilitate fair recognition and enforcement of workplace rights.

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.
