Notarial procedural legal relations in the system of other legal relations: problems of correlation

The article is devoted to the study of notarial procedural legal relations in the system of other legal relations. The author aims to explore the range of relations that mediate notarial procedural legal relations, and to trace the relationship of these legal relations, their relationship with each other, in order to properly understand the legal nature of notarial procedural legal relations. According to the results of the research, when notaries perform notarial acts, a number of other than notarial procedural legal relations may arise, some of which look quite similar to notarial procedural legal relations and can sometimes be mistaken for the latter. It is concluded that notarial procedural legal relations cannot be understood as material and procedural at the same time. Notarial procedural legal relations are not complex (material and procedural) due to the fact that they seem to have in their content such a component as the notary's relationship with the client, which is directly related to the notarial act. There are no grounds to consider registration legal relations as notarial procedural. Registration legal relations are intertwined in notarial procedural ones, superimposed on each other. In fact, the same subjects take part in these legal relations as in the notarial process. However, despite this, we do not have two clear consecutive procedures (notarial procedural and registration), which follow one another, but two parallel procedures. The model provision on the procedure for providing state notaries of additional legal services that are not related to notarial acts, as well as technical services, approved by the order of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine № 3/5 of 04.01.1998, does not correspond to the terminology of current legislation and must be brought into line with current legislation. Fiscal legal relations that arise when a notary performs a notarial act are not by their nature notarial procedural legal relations. These legal relations are independent, existing both along with notarial procedural and other notarial legal relations arising with the participation of a notary.

Implementing Antiracism in Technical Services

It is a sad reality that racist bias is inherent in cataloging standards and collection development practices. Whether racism in cataloging and collection development practices is intentional or not, Technical Service librarians can be intentional about combatting it. This article presents three antiracist projects implemented to address racism in collection development and classification. Leslie Engelson discusses the results of an effort initiated by the music faculty to determine the representation of BIPOC in the music score collection at Waterfield Library. Brinna Michael demonstrates how racist language is represented in the Library of Congress Classification schedule and her efforts at Pitts Theology Library to update call numbers. Finally, Caitlin Soma details a diversity audit of the books assigned on course reserve at Candler School of Theology to identify potential collection gaps and to encourage faculty to develop curricula that include more diverse voices.

Top Concerns of Technical Services Staff

The annual conversation group sponsored by the Technical Services Interest Group provides an opportunity for library workers in technical services areas—or in any area of library work—an opportunity to discuss anything that anyone considers a top concern for technical services staff. Participation by persons other than those in technical services area is encouraged, since the work in technical services ultimately influences work in all other areas of the library.

Las casas cuartel de la DGRD para la Guardia Civil: un modelo adaptado para la propaganda

The Civil Guard barracks, promoted by the Directorate-General of Devastated Regions [Dirección General de Regiones Devastadas, DGRD] (1939-1957), are an exception within the general marginality of this hybrid architecture in architectural historiography. However, such a prominence has led to a distorted and partial approach to the architecture of these barracks, ignoring the contemporary production of the Civil Guard’s technical services. This is the first study that deals with the post-war promotion of barracks, offering an analysis that sheds light on the interdependencies and contributions made by each organisation. The methodology is based on a bibliographical review, which includes the Reconstrucción journal, the consultation of the projects in the archives that hold the documentation of both organisations and the comparative analysis of their productions. This paper aims to show how the DGRD based the promotion of its barracks on the models created by the architects attached to the Civil Guard, taking them directly and adapting them to its propagandistic interests according to Franco’s ideology using strategic implantation, a commitment to specific typologies, excessive ornamentation and the emphasis on a collective way of life.

Time for a U.S.–Brazil Tax Treaty

The U.S. is the most relevant trade partner with whom Brazil does not have a tax treaty. Previous attempts to conclude it were not successful, with the main alleged reason being Brazil’s insistence on tax sparing. With the change in time and developments in treaty policy and in the domestic tax regimes of the countries, tax sparing should no longer be an obstacle. After discussing the potential benefits of a treaty for both countries and their respective taxpayers, this Article addresses the technical issues that may arise during negotiations resulting from differences of tax treaty practice and demonstrate that none of them seem significant enough to be a “deal breaker,” with the most relevant currently being sourcing rules on technical services. Should the governments of both countries, which in recent months have given signs of political synchrony unseen in the past decades, decide to pursue the conclusion of a tax treaty, the technical conditions are more than ever present.
