الملخّصيتعلق هذا البحث بموضوع دية القتل الخطأ في الحوادث المرورية في الفقه الإسلامي في العصر الحاضر لكثرة وقوعها وحاجة الناس إلى بيان أحكامها من حيث كيفية تقديرها. وتحرير الخلاف في دية المرأة، ومسألة دية الجنين في حال تعرضه للموت في بطن أمه نتيجة الحادث المروري، أو في حالة تعرضه للإجهاض والموت، وتناول أيضًا دية شخصين إذا ماتا نتيجة اصطدام سيارتين؛ فكيف تقدَّر الدِّية؟ وعالج البحث مسألة العاقلة في الوقت الحاضر التي تساعد الطرفين (الجاني والمجني عليه وذلك بجمع الدية وإعطائها للمجني عليه). وذلك من خلال استخدام المنهج الاستقرائي والمنهج المقارن: حيث يتم من خلاله جمع النصوص المتعلقة بالموضوع، وآراء العلماء المتقدمين، والمعاصرين، والمقارنة بينهما لمعرفة نقاط الاتفاق والاختلاف، لتجلية معالم الموضوع، وتسهيل مناقشتها بصورة دقيقة، ثم بيان الرأي الراجح. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى أنَّ دية القتل في الحوادث المرورية في العصر الحاضر تساوي بالدينار الذهبي، الذي يساوي 4.250 جرامًا من الذهب، أو بما يساويها من النقد. وأنَّ الراجح هو تساوي دية الرجل مع دية المرأة. وفي حالة عدم وجود العاقلة لابأس من إنشاء شركة تعاونية لمساعدة من وقع منه الحادث.الكلمات المفتاحية: الدِّية، حوادث المرور، دية المرأة، دية الجنين، العاقلة. Abstract         This research addresses the subject of blood money for unintended manslaughter in traffic accidents according to Islamic jurisprudence in the present era due to the frequency of their occurrence and the need for people to understand the legal provisions concerning determining the amount. In this regard, we seek to clarify the disagreements regarding the blood money for women and foetuses that die in the mother’s womb as a result of traffic accidents or abortion. We also address the issue of blood money for two people who die as a result of collision between two cars. We also examine the issue of ʿĀqilah (those who pay the blood money) who helped the two parties (the offender and the victim by collecting blood money and giving it to the victim). To clarify these issues, we use the inductive approach and comparative method wherein we collect the various texts on the subject, and the views of classical and contemporary scholars to engage in a comparison between them in order to identify the points of agreement and disagreement between views. From here, we also hope to identify the major factors pertaining to such issues in order to facilitate a precise and concrete discussion to arrive at the most correct opinion. The study found that blood money for manslaughter in traffic accidents in the present era is equal to a gold dinar, which is equal to 4.250 grams of gold, or its cash equivalent. We advocate that the correct view is that the amount of blood money paid to a man is equal to that of a woman, and that in the absence of an ʿĀqilah it is possible to form a cooperative or mutual fund to render assistance to the victim.Keywords: blood money, traffic accidents, women, foetus, ʿĀqilah.

The principle of limited liability of a company has been uniformly adopted by developed countries. In order to ensure a fair balance, the courts agree on occasion to ‘pierce’ or ‘lift’ the corporate veil, which involves imposing liability on the mother company for actions of its subsidiary or individual shareholders, directors, and other involved persons for actions of the company. In this regard, there have been several studies arguing the legal issues associated with the limited liability of a company and piercing the corporate veil such as Schall (2016) and Michoud (2019). This paper compares current veil-piercing practices in three jurisdictions: the UK, the US, and Australia in order to outline the advantages and limitations of the approaches taken by the courts in each country as well as to identify best practices in terms of veil piercing. For that purpose, an analytical approach to the examination of the relevant legal rules, principles, and court cases has been adopted in undertaking the present paper. The paper comes up with a number of specific suggestions and recommendations for improving the regulatory role in regard to the subject of piercing of the corporate veil.

In the context of private enforcement of competition law, the issue of piercing the corporate veil, that is, the possibility of holding a non-direct infringer liable becomes particularly important. Pursuant to the thesis of the CJEU ‘Skanska’ judgment, civil courts adjudicating in cases of damages for infringements of competition law should understand the concept of ‘undertaking’ in accordance with Article 101 TFEU and its established interpretation by the Court, which may mean also adopting, under private law, the doctrine of economic succession (economic continuity) and the concept of a single economic unit. Individual member states, such as Spain and Portugal, have already adopted relevant legal regulations regarding the issue in question. In other countries, this matter has become the subject of judicial considerations. In Poland, neither of these two situations occurs. One should opt for the broad adoption of the concept of piercing the corporate veil in the context of liability for damages arising from an infringement of competition law – with both EU and national dimension.

LEGAL MEANS OF PREVENTING INJUDICIOUS MARRIAGE IN THE LIGHT OF SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH Summary The results of the statutory research presented in the present study are part of a completed research project on the methods of decreasing the number of divorces. The project envisaged two main research areas: 1) the prevention of injudicious marriage, and 2) divorce. An analysis was carried out on the research results for the former area, conducted by interviewers using the structured interview method. Interviews were conducted in eight voivodeships and within three groups of respondents: 120 newlyweds, 40 heads of Polish registry offices (Urząd Stanu Cywilnego), and 40 priests conducting pre-marital courses. The subject of the research and its theoretical considerations were the legal means of preventing injudicious marriage provided for in the Family and Guardianship Code (Kodeks rodzinny i opiekuńczy), Article 4 (on the one-month mandatory waiting time for the contraction of marriage) and Article 10 (on the mandatory issue of court consent for a person between the ages of sixteen and eighteen to contract a marriage), as well as the need to introduce a compulsory pre-marital medical examination, which has been the subject of debate for a long time. The study ends with a summary presenting an evaluation of the current legal provisions and court practice, as well as proposals for changes in the law e.g. in methods of preparing couples for marriage as envisaged conducting pre-marital courses.

Parliament – an institution of a democratic state – a member of the Union – is not only an authority but also, as in the case of the European Union, the only directly and universally elected representative body of the European Union. The article presents questions related to the essence of parliament and that of a supranational parliament which are vital while dealing with the subject matter. It proves that the growth of the European Parliament’s powers was the direct reason for departing from the system of delegating representatives to the Parliament for the benefit of direct elections. It presents direct and universal elections to the European Parliament in the context of presenting legal regulations applicable in this respect. It describes a new legal category – citizenship of the European Union – primarily in terms of active and passive suffrage to the European Parliament, as a political entitlement of a citizen of the European Union.

The article examines the grounds and conditions of securing a claim in administrative proceedings. By analyzing the legal provisions, law enforcement (judicial) practice in connection with the acquisitions of legal science, the grounds and conditions of securing a claim in administrative proceedings are highlighted. Attention is focused on problematic issues that arise when courts check the grounds for securing a claim and compliance with the terms of securing a claim. In particular, attention is drawn to the fact that securing an administrative claim on the grounds of obvious signs of illegality of the decision, action or inaction of the subject of power is virtually inapplicable due to reservations about the inadmissibility of resolving the dispute on the merits. It is concluded that an administrative lawsuit can be secured if there is at least one of the grounds specified in part one of Article 150 of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine and compliance with the conditions of proportionality, adequacy of measures to ensure administrative lawsuit, direct connection with the subject matter and legal the defendant's conduct in the dispute. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the freedom of discretion (discretion) of the court in the application of measures to ensure an administrative claim is unconditional, but not unlimited and controlled by the requirement to properly justify the relevant procedural action. Keywords: administrative court, administrative claim, administrative proceedings, securing the claim, principles of administrative proceedings, protection of individual rights and freedoms, grounds for securing the claim, conditions for securing the claim
