Does forgiveness nullify the effects of previous disinheritance? The legal nature of forgiveness is the subject of passionate debates among the representatives of civil law doctrine. According to the dominant position in the literature, forgiveness is an act of affection or its manifested expression of forgiveness of the perpetrator of experienced injustice and related to this grudge. This institution has been applied three times in the Civil Code — once with the donation agreement, twice in regulations of inheritance law. Article 1010 § 1 provides that a testator cannot disinherit eligible for legal portion if he forgave him. The wording of the above article indicates that accomplishment of disinheritance in case if testator eligible for legal portion has previously forgiven. The legislator did not, however, determine the effects of forgiveness in relation to previous disinheritance. In the act of 1971, the Supreme Court accepted that such forgiveness would automatically nullify the effects of disinheritance, and could be made in any form. In recent years, lower courts have begun to question the Supreme Court's position, and judges increasingly refer to the critical statements of numerous doctrines. As it was rightly stated, admitting the possibility of invoking the forgiveness made after disinheritance poses a serious threat to the realization of the testator’s will, who, by forgiving, does not necessarily want to revoke the effects of his previous disinheritance. The postulate of de lege ferenda is, according to the author of the article, giving of freedom of judging the effects of forgiveness to the courts and each examination of the forgiving testator’s will on the possible abatement of the consequences of previous disinheritance.]]>

Nils Svedelius came of old Swedish stock. His first known ancestor was one Nils Andersson, a farmer in the parish of Leksand in Dalecarlia, who lived in the middle of the 16th century. In the early 17th century one of his grandsons entered holy orders and became vicar of Rattvik parish. In those days, small-scale farming was an important side activity for country parsons. During his tenure, a good piece of land belonging to the parsonage and known as Sveden was brought under the plough, and from this place his grandchildren took the family name Svedelius. From them all the bearers of the name are descended, among them many prominent citizens, high government officials, army officers, merchants and teachers, the most widely known being the historian Vilhelm Erik Svedelius (1816-1889), still something of a legendary figure in the academic annals of Uppsala. But as far as is known to the present writer, none of them ever took any special interest in natural history. Only one of them, the man whose life and work are the object of this article, became a man of science. Nils Eberhard Svedelius was born in Stockholm on 5 August 1873, the second son of Supreme Court Justice Carl Svedelius, L.L.D., and of his wife Ebba Katarina, who came of the old noble family Skytte af Satra. Nils’s elder brother studied law and, like his father, became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Sweden.

The article has analyzed the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on family disputes that involve property issues, revealed features of implementation of functions of the highest court in this field. First, it is stated that the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation reviews decisions of lower courts mainly in cases where the application of family law rules is contradictory and unsettled. It is necessary to fill in a gap in family law, to resolve conflicts between certain legal norms, to choose between several possible interpretations of the law. Second, the judicial panels of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, making a determination on a particular case, clarify the meaning of legal norms, and sometimes under the guise of interpretation in fact correct ill-considered or outdated norms of family law. Third, the High Court reviews cases where there is a typical and widespread error in the application of a very clear and defined rule. Fourth, in individual legal acts it is possible to observe the concretization or change of the previously designated legal stances while maintaining the legislative rules in the same form. Using certain examples of cases considered by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on family disputes concerning property, the paper has demonstrated the mechanism of possible transformation of abstract, non-personified and doctrinally oriented provisions contained in the definitions of judicial boards of the Supreme Court to general legal regulators. The author has determined certain problems of legal regulation of property relations in the family that have not been settled by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

Abstract The issues discussed in the following article focus on the interpretation of negative prerequisites for dissolving marriage by divorce. In Poland, special protection of the family stems both from the Constitution and the Family and Guardianship Code of 1964. The obstacles which seem to counteract the independent breaking of the marriage knot are the regulated positive and negative divorce prerequisites. In the area of divorce prerequisites in question, the Family and Guardianship Code functions in the unchanged form. As provided by the Family and Guardianship Code one of the negative divorce prerequisites was the welfare of minor children who could suffer as a result of granting a divorce. It is interesting for the contemporary judicial practice and the interpretation of law made in court judgments whether and in what scope it is possible to use the contemporary achievements of the Supreme Court as regards the guidelines. It seems that in the situation where the directives lost their binding force, it is not purposeful to refer to them as a source of law interpretation. The practice of judicial decisions seems to oppose this idea. Moreover, the guidelines of the Supreme Court passed at the time when they were a commonly binding interpretation of the law will undoubtedly be useful for creating the judicial law now and in the future.

This paper examines how art can be used in the process of truth telling about the role colonial courthouses played in the violent dispossession, exploitation and oppression of Indigenous peoples. The paper focuses on the Old Court House in Perth, Australia, as this was the site of a commission winning public art work selected by the City of Perth that was decommissioned after permission to install the work was denied by the sitting judges of the Supreme Court of Western Australia. It is argued that art can be a means to draw attention to the methods used by the colonial legal system to usurp Indigenous sovereignty, that art on courthouses can be used to signify ongoing resistance to colonisation, and that this should be embraced by the legal community rather than be censored by the judiciary.
