Law Of Succession

The article analyses the latest developments in the process of harmonisation in the area of succession law in Europe. The status quo of harmonisation is described and the plans to harmonise this area in the future – which have not been given much consideration in the jurisprudential literature so far – are examined in detail. Particular attention is drawn to the Green Paper ‘Succession and Wills’ which the European Commission has issued recently (COM(2005) 65 final). The preparatory works, the development and the content of the Green Paper are described, and the reactions to it, as well as its possible outcomes, are analysed.

The Government is keen to get “back to basics” about divorce. The Green Paper which the Lord Chancellor presented to Parliament in December 1993 invites us all to reflect on family values and is intended to provoke a “thorough national consideration” of the whole basis for divorce. It follows proposals by the Law Commission but is less than a ringing endorsement of the Commission's scheme. The Law Commission has advocated a shift from the current “mixed” system (embracing fault and no-fault grounds) to an entirely no-fault basis for divorce. Under these proposals divorce would be regarded as a neutral “process over time” and would not entail judgments into the causes of marriage breakdown. While the Green Paper gives qualified support to this idea, the Government has yet to reach a concluded view.

Private training establishments are a growing sector in New Zealand tertiary education, although their students receive lower subsidies than do those at public institutions. The determination of public subsidies for private tertiary education students is complex and is based upon philosophical arguments, trends in demand and the capacity of private and public sectors. This issue has gained prominence in New Zealand since the release of the Government Green Paper on tertiary education last year, which suggested equal subsidies for students in private and public tertiary education. This paper reviews the general arguments and overseas examples in this area, before examining the New Zealand situation and outlining options for the future.

AbstractThis article considers the amount of economic capital that defined benefit (DB) pension schemes potentially need to cover the risks they are running. A real open scheme, the Universities Superannuation Scheme, is modelled and used to illustrate our results and, as expected, economic capital requirements are large. We discuss the appropriateness of these results and what they mean for the DB pension scheme industry and their sponsors. The article is particularly pertinent following the recent European Commission Green Paper on the future of European pensions systems, its call for advice on reviewing the Institutions for Occupational Retirement Provision Directive and the introduction of the Basel 2 and Solvency 2 risk-based regulatory regimes for banking and insurance, respectively.
