Dilemma and Breakthrough: Personal Information Protection Models and Righting in China

  Abstract China has implemented a comprehensive legal framework to safeguard personal information.

How does libertarian punishment theory deal with the doctrine of unjust enrichment?

What is the proper punishment from the perspective of the libertarian philosophy? More specifically, in what way, if at all, may a thief benefit from his robbery? The present essay attempts to wrestle with these challenging questions.

I. Introduction  Libertarian punishment theory[1] emphasizes restitution. While it is usually impossible to make the victim “whole” again, after his ill-treatment, that is the direction in which notions of justice indicate we should tread.  But we are not now addressing these issues in general.  Rather, the present essay is dedicated to analyzing several specific issues. In section II we look at ancillary criminal benefits and in section III internal criminal benefits. The burden of section IV is to discuss unjust enrichment. We conclude in section V. II. Ancillary criminal benefits  Question ...

Frank Ramsey’s Contributions to Probability (and Legal) Theory

“The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience”.**

Introduction  Frank Ramsey was one of the first theorists, along with Bruno de Finetti,[1] to formalize the notion of subjective probability, but how did Ramsey discover this revolutionary insight in the first place – the idea that probability can consist of a subjective value or purely personal estimate?

1.    Introduzione Durante la pandemia di COVID-19 uno dei temi più delicati affrontati dal legislatore, italiano come europeo, è la – ove generica, ove specifica – attenuazione degli effetti economici negativi dovuti all’emergenza sanitaria, così come lo stimolo ad una futura, auspicabile, crescita. Tra le conseguenze macroeconomiche negative vi è la diminuzione di liquidità delle imprese, effetto di vari fattori, tra cui le restrizioni di movimento delle persone fisiche – risultando in una contrazione della domanda effettiva – e le chiusure ex lege di certe filiere produttive ...

Historical Overview of a Controversial Decision and its Implications for the Eurozone and the Future of the European Union

This paper examines the consequences and implications of the decision of the BVerfG of 5 May 2020 not only regarding EU law, but also regarding the sustainability of the Eurozone.
