There are several unregulated intangible services (Swe: immateriella tjänster) within the Swedish law, where a contractor, with reference to freedom of contract, can limit their contractual liability by using limitation of liability clauses. A debate has taken place regarding gross negligence and whether or not it can act as an independent reason for breaching a limitation of liability clause, in

1994 infördes ett förbud mot etnisk diskriminering i svensk rätt. Sedan dess har Arbetsdomstolen prövat etnisk diskriminering i arbetslivet endast i 40 fall och arbetsgivaren har fällts endast i två fall. Detta utgör en väldigt låg bifallsfrekvens som skiljer sig markant från de allmänna domstolarnas bifallsfrekvens. Arbetsdomstolen har fått omfattande kritik om hur den tillämpar gällande lagstiftIn 1994, a prohibition against ethnic discrimination was introduced in Swedish law. Since then, the Labour Court has adjudicated ethnic discrimination in working life only in 40 cases and the employer has only been convicted in two cases. This represents a very low approval rate, which differs significantly from the general courts' approval rate. The Labour Court has received extensive critici

Det klimatpolitiska ramverket som trädde ikraft 1 januari 2018 innebär nya klimatmål, skapandet av Klimatpolitiska rådet och en ny klimatlag. Uppsatsen syfte är att analysera huruvida det klimatpolitiska ramverket, med fokus på klimatlagen, är ett effektivt styrmedel för att förhindra farliga klimatförändringar.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse whether this framework is an effective instrument in dealing with the issues of climate change. The pa

Personuppgifter blir allt viktigare i den digitala ekonomin. Omfattningen av insamling och behandling ökar och riskerar att hota den personliga integriteten. Trots att personlig integritet och respekten för privatlivet räknas som som en mänsklig rättighet har dessa en väldigt svag position relativt andra rättigheter och samhälleliga behov. Detta ter sig ganska underligt eftersom den personliga intPersonal data is becoming increasingly important in the digital economy. The scope of collection and treatment increases and may threaten personal integrity. Although privacy is regarded as human right, privacy has a very weak position relative other rights and social needs. This is quite strange as privacy is often considered a prerequisite for many of the traditional rights such as freedom of sp

The Japanese legal system before 1880 was based on a legal system of Chinese origin. After the Tokugawa-shogunate fell in 1867, the Japanese government carried out a modernization of the legal system through reception of European law. In the penal law area, the Penal Codes of 1880 and 1907 were issued based on the European model. The purpose of this essay is to compare penal law development in Eur

Historiskt sett har transportören, med undantag för force majeure och krigshandlingar, varit strikt ansvarig för all skada på det transporterade godset. Detta kom att förändrades under slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet när transportörerna började begränsa sina ansvarsgrunder med klausuler i transportavtalen. Snart var transportörerna inte ansvariga för i princip någonting, vilket var pThe carrier has historically been strictly liable for all damage to the cargo carried, with the exception of acts of God and war. This changed during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s when the carriers began to limit their liabilities in the contract of carriage. They were soon not liable for very much which was problematic for the shippers, since they did not receive compensation when their goods

This paper aims to discover viable ways in which the Global South can effectively challenge the primacy of the Global North, in order to create a more equitable global order. This thesis is premised on a dependency approach to international relations which stipulates that the Global South, or Third World, is underdeveloped because of actions by the Global North, or the First World. The legacy left

Arbetet som nu pågår inom EU syftar till att minska den administrativa bördan för företagen genom enklare regler för de europeiska företagen som regelförändringar inom bolagsrätt, redovisning och revision. I de flesta medlemsländer inom EU har antingen revisionsplikt aldrig funnits eller ett avskaffande av revisionsplikten för små och medelstora företag (SME) redan skett. Utvecklingen är i enlighe

In Sweden opinions are strongly divided on the issue of integration. In a study from 2007 four parallel discourses on integration in the Swedish debate were identified. They are labeled the liberal-, the social democratic-, the structural discrimination discourse and finally a discourse of assimilation. A fifth is discussed briefly – the critical humanist position. In this report I take a closer l

Till varje stats suveränitet hör utformningen av dess beskattning. Eftersom flertalet stater använder sig av olika principer vid bestämmandet av beskatt-ningsanspråken leder detta ofta till dubbelbeskattning för företag och indivi-der. Motverkandet av den ofördelaktiga beskattningen sker genom en till-lämpning av skatteavtal då deras syfte primärt är att undanröja eller lindra följderna av internaDesigning of the taxation system belongs to the sovereignty of each state. Since most states use different principles in determining the taxable claims, this often leads to double taxation of companies and individuals. The avoid-ance of the unfavorable taxation is made through the practice of tax treaties, as their primary purpose is to eliminate or mitigate the consequences of in-ternational judi

The image of Malmö is to me, and others that hasn’t grown up in the city, a fairly grey story.

The face of the city has changed quite radically in recent years and my personal image of the city has been diversified with new places, buildings and environments, which cons
