 People negotiate agreements "in the shadow of the law," whether in the private ordering of affairs such as drafting contracts or in the public forum of settling lawsuits.[1] A reverse phenomenon, however, has gone largely unnoticed: judges occasionally declare law in the shadow of negotiated settlements. In interpreting the terms of a consent decree[2] when the parties themselves cannot agree on what obligations such terms impose, the judge may determine that both the words and the parties' own intentions are so ambiguous that the words must be interpreted in light of the substantive law that gave rise to the plaintiffs' claim. This writer has previously contended that the meaning of an ambiguous term should be determined, in part, "by reference to the constitutional or statutory rights sought to be vindicated in the litigation." Even if the law is somewhat uncertain, part of the judge's interpretive effort should be to determine which interpretation "will best serve the policies of the relevant law."[3] It appears that the federal courts, at least, have adopted this position.[4]

The results of this study, first, legal norms used to burden the obligation to fulfill the right of accessibility of persons with disabilities to business actors are mandatory norms not prohibitors, business actors do not have legal awareness because they do not know about these obligations and apparatuses also do not have legal norms this is because of ignorance of this obligation, second, in the perspective of legal consumer protection, accessibility is a consumer right specifically for persons with disabilities given Law No. 8 of 2016 and also the obligation of business actors provided by Law No. 22 of 2009, there is no realization of accessibility rights in transportation, business people have ignored consumer rights of disability as well as obligations that must be fulfilled by business actors, maqashid Syariah's perspective sees the implications of not achieving transportation accessibility rights can result in their limited mobility to find work which leads to acts requesting that this need collide with hifdz al-mal and al-'urd. Third, the solution for fulfilling the right of accessibility of persons with disabilities in the transportation sector is (1) Establishment of a National Disability Commission that can advocate for the neglect of the rights of persons with disabilities in macro, (2) legal literacy as a legal literacy media on the rights of persons with disabilities.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><em>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pertama,<strong> </strong>faktor utama penyebab tidak bisa bekerjanya hukum pemenuhan hak asesibilitas transportasi bagi penyandang disabilitas di Jawa Timur, kedua, tinjauan hukum perindungan konsumen dan maqashid syariah terhadap tidak terpenuhinya hak aksesibilitas transportasi bagi penyandang disabilitas, ketiga, solusi hukum terhadap pemenuhan hak aksesibilitas transportasi penyandang disabilitas di Jawa Timur.

Adapun hasil penelitian ini, pertama, norma hukum yang digunakan untuk membebani kewajiban pemenuhan hak aksesibilitas penyandang disabilitas kepada pelaku usaha adalah norma mandatur bukan prohibitor, pelaku usaha tidak memiliki kesadaran hukum karena mereka tidak mengetahui tentang kewajiban ini dan apparat juga tidak memiliki keterikatan dengan norma hukum ini karena ketidaktahuan terhadap kewajiban ini, kedua, dalam perspektif hukum perlindungan konsumen, aksesibilitas merupakan hak konsumen khusus bagi penyandang disabilitas yang diberikan Undang-Undang No. 8 Tahun 2016 dan juga merupakan kewajiban pelaku usaha yang diberikan oleh Undang-Undang No. 22 Tahun 2009, tidak terealisasinya hak aksesibilitas dalam transportasi, pelaku usaha telah mengabaikan hak konsumen disabilitas sekaigus juga kewajiban yang harus dipenuhi oleh pelaku usaha, perspektif maqashid Syariah melihat implikasi tidak terwujudnya hak aksesibilitas transportasi dapat mengakibatkan sempitnya mobilitas mereka untuk mencari pekerjaan sehingga berujung pada perbuatan meminta minta yang terntunya ini berbenturan dengan hifdz al-mal dan al-‘urd. Ketiga, solusi agar hak aksesbilitas penyandang disabilitas di bidang transportasi terpenuhi adalah (1) Pembentukan Komisi Disabilitas Nasional yang bisa mengadvokasi pengabaian hak-hak penyandang disbailitas secara makro, (2) legal literacy sebagai media melek hukum tentang hak-hak penyandang disabilitas.</em>

In principle, the resolution of consumer disputes can be pursued peacefully. through an alternative mediation dispute resolution. In Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Regulation of the Minister of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 / M-DAG / PER / 2017 concerning the Consumer Dispute Settlement Body does not impose limits on the authority of BPSK in handling and adjudicating a consumer dispute. However, in reality many times the decisions of the Consumer Dispute Settlement Body (BPSK) are submitted to the district court and stated that BPSK is not authorized to handle such disputes.

Abstract In 2018, the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo approved the Law on the Protection of Whistleblowers, setting up the foundations of the whistleblower protection system for the public and private sectors in the country. In line with the international principles for drafting legislation for the protection of whistleblowers, the law provides three channels for reporting wrongdoing and grants protection against any form of retaliation for whistleblowers. Noting the absence of institutional data on whistleblowing in the public sector, for this research article, a survey was implemented with individual members of civil service in Kosovo (n=400), during the period from September to November 2019, to collect primary data related to factors incentivizing and / or discouraging the decision to whistleblow. Data were collected at the national and local levels of state administration, as per the scope of the definition of the civil service by Kosovo legislation. In this contribution, research results reveal that the protection against any form of retaliation guaranteed by the law is not sufficient for members of civil service in Kosovo to support the decision to whistleblow, as concerns arise for the security and physical integrity of their respective family members. Law does not provide financial incentives for civil servants to whistleblow. Data reveal that a satisfactory level of trust is missing on organizational indicators such as trust in the responsible officer, protection of data confidentiality and anonymity, across different levels of categories of civil service. In line with the concerns voiced by members of civil service and international standards for whistleblower protection, the following actionable recommendations are proposed to advance the whistleblowing system in Kosovo: 1) Improve the provision of training for members of civil service on whistleblowing legislation, organizational procedures, whistleblower protection, and rights; 2) Establish strategies to support employees for whistleblowing. Such strategies would include programs enabling whistleblowers access to professional services such as stress management, counseling, and legal services; 3) Enhance security measures for the physical integrity of whistleblowers and their respective family members; 4) Establish incentives to encourage whistleblowing, such as financial rewards.

This chapter discusses the law on product liability. Common law product liability is based upon the law of negligence. Beginning with the narrow ratio in Donoghue v Stevenson (1932), it further developed the concept of intermediate examination in Grant v Australian Knitting Mills (1936). The relevant statute is the Consumer Protection Act 1987, passed in response to a European Union Directive. This introduces strict liability, when a defective product causes damage. The CPA establishes a hierarchy of possible defendants beginning with the producer. Defences under the CPA include the ‘development risks’ defence to protect scientific and technical innovation. If damage relates to quality or value, the only remedy will be in contract.

This chapter discusses the law governing intermediaries in the financial services industry. The relationship between the various species of intermediary and both the service provider and the customer, is prima facie governed by the rules of agency developed at common law, together with a statutory overlay. The Financial Services Act 1986 introduced the statutory concept of the appointed representative, which allowed regulated persons to appoint other persons for whom they accepted regulatory responsibility, and as a measure of consumer protection initiated a regime of vicarious responsibility, whereby the appointing principal was deemed responsible for everything said or done, or not said or done, by its appointed representatives. That regime was continued and expanded to the whole financial services industry by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
