The final issue of Volume 55 brings more articles from around the globe to our attention.
To begin with, Louise Geddes and Rory Shand from the UK give us a paper entitled “Assessing governance and learning lessons: new labours partnerships and Camerons Big Society. The purpose of the paper is, the authors assert, to examine the role of tiers of governance, and discusses the findings from research into a crime policys implementation focusing on resourcing, community engagement, accountability and leadership. The paper examines the shift from partnership delivery to the Big Society.
Next, Chrispas Nyombi also from the UK talks about “Employees rights during insolvency. This paper provides an examination of the position employees find themselves during corporate insolvencies. The paper examines employees rights under insolvency procedures such as administration, company voluntary arrangements (CVA), administrative receivership, pre-packs and liquidation, to establish whether the rescue goal can be affected by employees claims. Priorities in liquidation are also widely examined to establish the status of employees under this procedure and their entitlements.
Following this, we have Rashmi Aggarwal and Rajinder Kaur from India speaking about “The regulatory environment of comparative advertising in India – an analysis. This study compiles the present situation of comparative advertisement in Indian markets and the existing legal remedies by citing some factual cases from the industry and important judicial pronouncements.
Finally, António Martins, Susana Jorge and Patrícia Sá present “Price regulation and cost accounting: the case of the Portuguese seaport sector, a case study examining the methods used by Portuguese seaport administrations to justify the tariffs charged. The authors draw upon a great number of data sources (e.g. regulations, reports and interviews) in the presentation of their case.
The article argues that throughout history the debate was and will be squared between the economic needs for developed countries who seek strong copyright protection and the development needs for developing countries who seek lower level of copyright protection. Over time, the trend seems to further strengthen copyright protection and limits exceptions as much as possible.
As ever, please enjoy these thought provoking contributions which we hope will whet your appetite for Volume 56 in 2014!
