Against the background of recent BFH case law, this dissertation opens up new perspectives on a "classic" of insolvency tax law, the treatment of VAT in insolvency proceedings. The author argues that the difficulties of interlocking VAT law with insolvency law are due to the way in which the VAT liability relationship is structured by the VAT Act. On the basis of numerous examples, various constellations under VAT law are evaluated in terms of insolvency law. For this purpose, the author introduces his own definition of the concept of establishment (Begründetheit) within the meaning of § 38 InsO. As an attorney-at-law, the author is professionally involved in questions of restructuring and insolvency.

Smart contracts can be defined as computer codes which are run digitally by computer programs to utilise the negotiation, formation, and performance of an automated and irreversible agreement between the contracting parties. Smart contracts are distinguished from other forms of contracts in terms of the way they are concluded which is through Blockchain Technology. In contrast to conventional contracts established through speech, written words or actions, smart contracts are algorithmic and self-executing agreements. In this article, smart contracts will be discussed from the perspective of their general rules and features and the Iraqi law. This study analyses the formation mechanisms of the general principles in Iraqi law governing the contracts and how these mechanisms can be applied to the new technological framework of smart contracts. In addition, integrating smart contracts into the current legal provisions in Iraq is examined.

The German Insolvency Code provides for a general subordination of shareholder loans during insolvency proceedings. In cases where shareholder investors and banks join forces in syndicated debt financing, there is a risk that the whole credit arrangement may be subordinated if insolvency occurs. This work deals with these issues in relation to both the scope and the legal consequences against the background of the relevant legal provisions. The author thereby also presents possible solutions, which may be taken as general guidelines for practitioners.

This study highlights the main criticisms of unconstitutionality that have been introduced so far for the framework regulation applicable to the procedure for the enforcement of judgments regarding minors, the solutions pronounced by the Constitutional Court of Romania and the considerations that were based on, in order to contribute to the awareness of certain issues to which a legal and institutional solution must be found, in order to achieve the desire of the best interests of the child. The existence of the applications based on the legal provisions mentioned, the solutions pronounced by the courts notified, the dysfunctions found, but also bringing to public attention certain situations that revealed the need to give pre-eminence, in the settlement of these cases, the psychological side, not only counselling minors, but also their parents, are elements that may require a rethinking of the procedure for enforcing judgments regarding minors, but also of the way in which these provisions are implemented.

Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are Bitcoin-inspired currencies that combine aspects of virtual currencies with FIAT money. Many central banks and countries around the world are thinking about or planning to introduce some form of CBDC. Among them, China is leading the way, being the first country to issue their CBDC (Digital RMB) into circulation, even if it is yet a pilot program only. This article focuses not only on the Digital RMB and its legal implementation but also on the political, historical, and economic circumstances of its birth, which, when talking about anything related to China, is often crucial to understanding the phenomenon more than the legal provisions themselves. The aim is to deepen the understanding of legal policies in China and open a discussion about the Digital RMB.

South Africa seems well on the way to creating specialised human trafficking legislation. The country is a signatory to the United Nations Protocol on Trafficking in Persons, and the SA Law Reform Commission is investigating the issue of trafficking. But there are many legal provisions currently available for prosecuting those engaging in this practice. Perhaps a greater challenge for the prosecution is how to identify acts that constitute ‘trafficking in persons’.

The Ndebele ethnic group in Zimbabwe has probably experienced more land dispossessions than any other ethnic group stretching from the 1890s with the coming of the whites. Most of this history,unfortunately, is not well documented. Based on an oral history approach, this article focuses on the gendered dimension of land dispossession. It seeks to answer questions such as: do men and women view land ownership and land issues in the same way? Did the land dispossessions, which took place for more than one hundred years in Zimbabwe particularly in the Ndebele ethnic group, affect the way land is viewed gender wise? The article further sought to find out how women have been historically marginalised or emancipated in the community. Given the importance of land in any culture, the article seeks to find out how a shift in the way land is viewed gender wise can improve the lives of many in the Ndebele ethnic group. The research was conducted in Esikhoveni Village in Esigodini, Matabeleland-South. It was based on oral history, targeting the headmen and other elders noted for their wisdom and knowledge of the area. A total of sixteen interviews were conducted using judgemental and snowball strategies. The article reveals that land was considered an important resource in the area. Women had limited opportunities for land ownership in the village. Culture and tradition were still dominant over legal provisions when it comes to land and gender issues. The article recommends a new and more rigorous approach by the government and other stakeholders to change the cultural and traditional perceptions of the rural communities in order to achieve gender balance regarding land ownership and allocation.


Questions Q 57-1 How does the CISG determine the place where payment of the purchase price is to be made? Q 57-2 a) To what extent is Art. 57 CISG a subsidiary rule?
