Abstract This article compares consumer protection in the framework of discounts with the constituent elements of such sales and the relevant methods of protecting consumer rights, according to French, Emirati, Jordanian, and Tunisian legislation and judicial practice. The findings shed light on the operation of consumer rights and market protection, and argues that each legal system has developed divergent means to attain the same goal. While some legal systems have organised sales with detailed rules, others have engaged in very limited market intervention; in the latter case, consumers are prevented from enjoying an important set of rights, as consumer rights and market protection are determined by the merchants.

Abstract In the modern world, electronic communications play a significant role in areas of national and international law such as Internet jurisdiction. Private international law provides that the competent court is the court within which jurisdiction the contract is performed, so it is important to know the place of performance of the contract in the case of contracts for digital goods such as e-books or computer software delivered online. It is equally important in the case of electronic services such as e-teaching. Furthermore, as consumer protection in B2C contracts is important in developing global e-commerce, it is important to consider whether the consumer party is able to bring an action against the business party in his own place of domicile or habitual residence. The article analyses these questions and proposes ways in which the Iranian legal system might be developed to address issues of Internet jurisdiction in B2B and B2C contracts.

In the last decades, the means of communication witnessed tremendous developments. These means have clearly and concretely affected the lives of individuals. No one can deny the amount of services that telephones offer now as a modern communication means and all accompanying benefits. In addition to the Internet services available on the mobile phone, most of the mobile phones’ holders needs are facilitated via the Internet, such as e-mails and others. Recently, mobile phones have substituted computers for many people. The use of mobile phones as a means of communication has caused tremendous technological revolution. This has led the researcher to question the nature of the contracts between individuals and communication companies as well as their characteristics especially due to the emergence of problems between individuals and companies. With companies imposing their arbitrary conditions, the researcher is also investigating the role of the Telecommunications Authority in facing unfair conditions, the roles of Consumer Protection Associations and the judiciary in modifying these arbitrary conditions. The present research will answer these qustions after offering a definition of the contract of communication, its legal nature and its characteristics and effects.

This article establishes some necessary considerations for the improvement of the judicial protection of consumer rights in the Cuban legal system based on the new constitutional regulation of this right. It starts with the outline of the Cuban consumer protection system, and then insists on the general problems that affect it, particularly in the courts, as well as the new projections under the recent constitutional regulation. Through the analysis-synthesis, appraisals of the most recent Cuban doctrine are taken into account and exegetical analysis of current regulations on the matter is carried out.

<p>This article is an attempt to explore the inclusion and the use of superstitious elements in Mark Twain’s novel <em>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em> (1884) and Shakespeare’s play <em>Macbeth</em> (1611). Superstition involves a deep belief in the magic and the occult, to almost to an extent of obsession, which is contrary to realism. Through the analytical and psychological approaches, this paper tries to shed light on Twain’s and Shakespeare’s use of supernaturalism in their respective stories, and the extent the main characters are influenced by it. A glance at both stories reveals that characters are highly affected by superstitions, more than they are influenced by their religious beliefs, or other social factors and values. The researcher also tries to explore the role played by superstition, represented by fate and the supernatural in determining the course of actions characters undertake in both dramas. The paper concluded that the people who lived in the past were superstitious to an extent of letting magic, omens; signs, etc. affect and determine their lives; actions and future decisions. They determine their destiny and make it very difficult for them to avoid it, alter it or think rationally and independently. And that, man’s actions are not isolated, but closely connected to the various forces operating in the universe.</p>
