Louis Ix

During the XIII century the king of France, king-judge, exercised his sovereign power surrounded by his vassals and above all by his advisers, clergymen with a juridical education in Roman law and Canon law, from which the importance of these judicial sessions at court. Louis IX (St. Louis) strengthened the role and the importance of it through a great reform of the procedure that enlarged the access to the royal justice of appeal to the generality of the subjects. The rigor of the new procedure was also prescribed for the same royal agents as the respect of the “common good” – that is to say the general interest – was also imposed to the feudal castellans. The enormous archives of this court, the Parliament, have been preserved (and they are denominated Olim because of the first word of one of the registers). They are constituted by around 4600 decisions made between 1254 and the 1318. Published in 1848 without a complete summary, they still remain little studied. A complete index of these decisions has been realized by the Centre d’études d’histoire juridique and published online in 2003 (on the CNRS and Université Panthéon Assa, Paris II sites).

The Church

In the Archbishop of Canterbury's Foreword to the findings of the Anglican Communion Legal Advisers' Network, Rowan Williams argues that law is a way of securing two things for the common good: equity and responsibility. Law is against arbitrariness and for knowing who is responsible for this or that. Law in the Church is also about equitable life in the communion of the Body of Christ and the mutual obligations of our interdependence. As Convenor of the Legal Advisers' Network, Canon John Rees observes that their work, which emerged as The Principles of Canon Law Common to the Churches of the Anglican Communion, is not a quick fix to the contemporary problems of the Anglican Communion. Nor is it a covert device for the introduction of a universal canon law for the whole Anglican Communion with an aim to impose covenantal sanctions for churches which do not toe the line.

Proper Operation

This article seeks to analyse what is the purpose competition law serves in today’s society and reflect on how significant public authorities are in its application, both with an active and passive role. It analyses the main channels open to competition authorities, in order to bring to light possible breaches of competition principles committed by administrations and which are the most useful tools for stopping them. The paper considers that the role of public administrations in markets as regulators, providers of aid, economic operators or facilitators of contracting between companies is highly significant and may have a major influence on those markets. The proper exercise of these functions results in highly positive values for consumers and in an increase of the common good. Improper actions of the administration can be seriously harmful to the general interest. It concludes that ensuring the proper operation of the markets is essential if periods of economic recession are to be overcome. As such, public administrations must fulfil their mandate of guaranteeing the general good, shying away from sectoral interests that could bring increased short-term benefits but result in dysfunctions and harm for the common good and for consumers.
