Functional method of comparative law and argumentation analysis in the field of transfers of movables: Can they contribute to each other?This contribution results from a research project on “Argumentation Analysis in the Field of Transfer of Movables”, financed by the Austrian Funds for Scientific Research (Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung, FWF), project no. P21075. The paper builds on an intervention at a conference entitled ‘The Use of the Functional Method in European and Comparative Property Law’, held at the University of Maastricht in June 2011. Thanks go to project assistant Martine Costa, University of Salzburg, who provided material from Dutch, French, and Belgian law for the example discussed in Chapter II.B.3, and submitted helpful comments on draft versions.

John Robertson Henderson was born in Scotland and educated at the University of Edinburgh, where he qualified as a doctor. His interest in marine natural history was fostered at the Scottish Marine Station for Scientific Research at Granton (near Edinburgh) where his focus on anomuran crustaceans emerged, to the extent that he was eventually invited to compile the anomuran volume of the Challenger expedition reports. He left Scotland for India in autumn 1885 to take up the Chair of Zoology at Madras Christian College, shortly after its establishment. He continued working on crustacean taxonomy, producing substantial contributions to the field; returning to Scotland in retirement in 1919. The apparent absence of communication with Alfred William Alcock, a surgeon-naturalist with overlapping interests in India, is highlighted but not resolved.

At Home

To slow down the spread of the Coronavirus, the population has been instructed to stay at home if possible. This measure consequently has a major impact on our daily mobility behaviour. But who is being affected, and how? The MOBIS-COVID-19 research project, an initiative of ETH Zurich and the University of Basel, is a continuation of the original MOBIS study. The aim of the project is to get a picture of how the crisis is affecting mobility and everyday life in Switzerland.
