1999 m. gegužės 1 d. įsigaliojus Lietuvos Respublikos administracinių teismų įsteigimo įstatymui bei Lietuvos Respublikos administracinių bylų teisenos įstatymui, Lietuvoje greta bendrosios kompetencijos teismų sistemos pradėjo funkcionuoti savarankiška administracinių teismų sistema. Įsteigus administracinius teismus, tapo aktualus ir bendrosios kompetencijos teismų bei administracinių teismų kompetencijos atribojimo klausimas. Nepaisant to, kad administraciniai teismai Lietuvoje veikia jau vienuolika metų, tačiau teismų kompetencijos atribojimo klausimui teisės literatūroje skiriamas pernelyg menkas dėmesys, o tai ir nulemia šios temos aktualumą. Magistro baigiamojo darbo tikslas – pateikti išsamią bendrosios kompetencijos teismų bei administracinių teismų kompetencijos atribojimo analizę, išskiriant probleminius minėtos temos aspektus bei pateikti galimas įstatyminio reguliavimo tobulinimo kryptis. Magistro baigiamąjį darbą sudaro trys skyriai. Pirmajame skyriuje analizuojami bendrieji teismų kompetencijos atribojimo klausimai. Antrajame aptariama priskirtinumo ginčų nagrinėjimo tvarka bei priskirtinumo taisyklių nesilaikymo teisiniai padariniai, o trečiasis darbo skyrius skirtas mišraus teismų kompetencijos atribojimo būdo, taikomo Lietuvos Respublikos teisinėje sistemoje, analizei. Magistro baigiamajame darbe keliamas probleminis klausimas, ar bendrosios kompetencijos teismų ir administracinių teismų kompetencija atribojama rūšinio teismingumo ar vis dėlto...

Mai 1999, began in der Republik Litauen neben den Gerichten der ordentlichen Gerichtsbarkeit das selbstständige System der Verwaltungsgerichte zu funktionieren. Mit der Einrichtung der Verwaltungsgerichte ist die Frage der Zuständigkeitsabgrenzung der ordentlichen Gerichtsbarkeit und der Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit aktuell geworden. Ungeachtet dessen, dass Verwaltungsgerichte bereits seit 11 Jahren in der Republik Litauen funktionieren, wird jedoch in der Rechtsliteratur zu wenig Achtung der Frage der Zuständigkeitsabgrenzung der ordentlichen Gerichtsbarkeit und der Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit geschenkt, was über die Aktualität des Themas entscheidet. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Magisterarbeit besteht darin, eine ausführliche Analyse der Zuständigkeitsabgrenzung der ordentlichen Gerichtsbarkeit und der Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit darzustellen, problematische Aspekte des erwähnten Themas hervorzuheben sowie mögliche Richtungen der Vervollkommnung der gesetzlichen Regelung zu präsentieren. Die Magisterarbeit besteht aus drei Kapiteln. Im ersten Kapitel werden allgemeine Fragen der Zuständigkeitsabgrenzung analysiert. Im zweiten Kapitel wird die Verhandlungsordnung von Streitigkeiten wegen der Zurechenbarkeit sowie die Folgen der Nichteinhaltung von Regeln der Zurechenbarkeit besprochen. Das dritte Kapitel der Magisterarbeit wird... [der volle Text, siehe weiter]

A aplicação do direito consiste num procedimento hermenêutico e normativo de especificidade concretizadora cuja finalidade aponta para resolver os conflitos opostos em juízo através de um pronunciamento decisório materialmente legítimo. As decisões prolatadas pelo poder judiciário devem, no seu conteúdo expresso mediante fundamentação, guardar conformidade ao ordenamento constitucional, seja aplicando os atos normativos em consonância à Constituição, seja atendendo de maneira adequada e eficaz o direito material sacrificado ou ameaçado injustamente. Desta forma, o juízo de constitucionalidade adquire autonomia jurídica de natureza concreta ou jurisdicionalmente decisória em face daquilo que se convencionou denominar de controle de constitucionalidade das leis. A inconstitucionalidade das leis, assim, não se pode equiparar à / This PhD thesis highlights as the very problematic/debatable binding element the concept, the reach and the peculiarities undeniably inherent in the constitutionally appropriate interpretation. The application of the law consists of a hermeneutic and normative procedure of fulfilling specificity which aims at solving the opposing conflicts in court through a materially legitimate decision-making statement. The decisions analyzed by the justice system must, in their substantiated content, be in conformity with the constitutional provisions, either applying the normative acts in agreement with the Constitution, either addressing adequately and effectively the material law that has been unfairly sacrificed or threatened. This way, the constitutional judgement acquires judicial autonomy of concrete nature or jurisdictionally decisory in face of what has been denominated constitutional control of the laws. The unconstitutionality of the laws, thus, can not be put on the same level of the unconstitutionality as t

En vertu de la règle du principe dispositif qui s’applique au procès administratif, le litige est la chose des parties : la matière de l’instance est fixée par les écritures que les parties rédigent et qu’elles soumettent au juge administratif. L’essence de l’office de ce juge consiste à trancher le litige en répondant juridiquement aux prétentions et à l’argumentation développées par les parties dans leurs écritures. L’étendue de son intervention est donc tributaire de la formulation des écritures qu’il devrait se borner à interpréter littéralement, et ce même lorsqu’elles sont maladroitement rédigées. Pourtant, le juge s’autorise à les interpréter extensivement ou restrictivement. Les raisons qui président à ce choix sont incertaines. L’un des enjeux de cette recherche est de les clarifier. Elle doit aussi déterminer l’étendue de ce pouvoir, et notamment son caractère – est-ce une faculté ou une obligation ? –, les éléments des écritures susceptibles d’être interprétés, les parties dont les écrits peuvent être appréciés, les méthodes mobilisées, ou encore ses limites et les contrôles auxquels il est soumis. Mais, à cause du rôle central des écritures dans le procès administratif, leur interprétation peut avoir d’importantes conséquences sur cette instance. Certaines interprétations peuvent même la déstabiliser. La recherche doit donc envisager les mécanismes permettant de corriger ces déséquilibres. En interprétant les écritures des parties, le juge participe à la fixation de la matière de l’instance. Dès lors, cette étude doit, plus fondamentalement, contribuer à déterminer l’auteur de cette substance : les parties ou le juge ? / According to the principle of party autonomy that rules the administrative trial, the litigation is the thing of the parties: the disputed matter is set out in the contentious writings the parties submit to the administrative judge. The essence of the office of this judge is to settle the disputed by legally answering the claims and arguments developed by the parties in their written pleadings. The scope of his intervention is therefore dependent on the wording of the contentious writings, which the judge should confine himself to literally interpreting, even when they are badly written. However, he allows himself to interpret them extensively or restrictively. The reasons for this choice are uncertain. One of the stakes of this research is to clarify them. It must also determine the scope of that power, and in particular its character - is it a possibility or an obligation? -, the elements of the written submissions likely to be interpreted, the parties whose writings can be assessed, the methods used, or its limits and the controls to which it is subject. But, because of the central role of the written pleadings in the administrative process, their interpretation can have important consequences on this instance. Some interpretations can even destabilize it. This research should therefore consider ways to correct such imbalances. In interpreting the parties’ written submissions, the judge participates in the determination of the disputed matter. Consequently, this study must, more fundamentally, contribute to determining the author of this matter: the parties or the judge?

O presente trabalho examina a amplitude do fenômeno do Processo Judicial Eletrônico e as perspectivas de resposta à sociedade com relação à razoável duração do processo e sua celeridade pela utilização dos meios eletrônicos. Com este objetivo, analisa as possibilidades de acesso à justiça e os desafios do desenvolvimento de um novo método que permita aperfeiçoar a participação dos sujeitos processuais para que os escopos jurisdicionais sejam plenamente atingidos. Neste sentido, observa as reconfigurações que as opções políticas realizadas a partir do início deste século engendram, tanto nos princípios processuais em face às garantias constitucionais, quanto na jurisdição e suas interdependências com outros aspectos do direito processual civil. Subsidiariamente, contextualiza o desenvolvimento da atuação estatal no ciberespaço, as estratégias formuladas e a inserção do Poder Judiciário nesta seara. Ao concluir, verificar-se-á que o Processo Judicial Eletrônico é um método em construção que, já dentro do caráter atual de forma autorizada pela Lei nº 11.419/06, quando complementada pela legislação e regulamentação correlata, possibilita maior transparência e participação, tendente a prover efetividade à prestação jurisdicional na sociedade pós-moderna. / This paper investigates the extent of the digital process phenomenon and the perspectives of its impact on the society concerning the examination of the case in a reasonable period of time and its celerity upon the employment of electronic means. In view of this, this study aims to analyze the possibilities of access to justice and the challenges imposed by the development of a new method which enables the improvement in the participation of all related parties in the judicial proceedings so as to fully accomplish the scope of the jurisdictional function. As follows, it examines the reconfiguration engendered by the political options which have been taking place since the beginning of this century both in the procedural principles in light of constitutional guarantees and in the jurisdiction and on its correlation with other aspects of civil procedure. Alternatively, this dissertation contextualizes the progression of the governmental interaction on the cyberspace, the conceived strategies and the insertion of the Judiciary in this field. In conclusion, it will be possible to establish that the digital process is still under development, but even under its current status, as authorized by Law 11,419/06 and complemented by other corresponding regulations, is nonetheless able to ensure more transparency and a higher level of participation, tending to provide effectiveness to the jurisdictional function in the postmodern society.

L’enfant est un être en devenir, vulnérable et qui doit être protégé. Pour satisfaire cet objectif, le législateur a choisi de construire avec les ordonnances des 2 février 1945 et 23 décembre 1958, un appareil de justice spécialisé capable d'assurer la sécurité de l'enfant en danger et d'éduquer le mineur délinquant. Dans un droit en perpétuel mouvement, l'objectif de ce travail de recherche est de mesurer l'influence contemporaine du marqueur spécialisé irriguant la construction de notre système de justice des mineurs tutélaire, tant sur le plan de l'organisation juridictionnelle que de la procédure suivie par l'ensemble des juridictions. Les récentes transformations du droit des mineurs français et l'évolution de différents systèmes de justice européens le démontrent, l'avenir de ce repère est menacé car le modèle de justice tutélaire dans lequel il s'exprime est en crise. Il subit la concurrence d'un paradigme nouveau cherchant à responsabiliser l'enfant : la justice managériale. Dès lors, le marqueur spécialisé se trouve à la croisée de son histoire tandis que sa survie dépend des choix opérés par le législateur. Conscient de cette réalité, celui-ci a récemment entrepris une restauration qu'il faut encore parachever. / The child is a person at a development stage, vulnerable who must be protected. To complete this objective, the legislator chosen to build with 1945 February 2nd and 1958 December 23th ordinaries, a specialized justice system able to assure the safety of child at risk and educate juvenile delinquent In a law in perpetual movement, the objective of this research is to measure the contemporary influence of the specialized marker irrigating the construction of our juvenile justice system, both on plan of the jurisdictional organization and the procedure followed by all the jurisdictions The recent transformations of the French juvenile law and the evolution of various European systems of justice demonstrate it, the future of this mark is threatened because the wellfare model in which it expresses itself is in crisis. It undergoes the competition of one new paradigm which is trying to give more responsibilities to the child: the managerial justice. Aware of this reality, this one recently began a restoration which is again necessary to complete.

Arida, Bacha and Lara-Resende (2004) conjecture about the existence of an inherent risk to the country, called 'jurisdictional uncertainty' related to Brazilian institutions, and that would be behind the high interest rates and the absence of a long-term domestic credit market. It is also done a more detailed diagnosis of the possible causes of the longer maturity phenomenon and lower yield on securities issued in foreign markets compared to securities issued in the local market, noting that both phenomena - the high Brazilian interest rates and the absence of a market long-term interest rates - are directly related. The conclusions on the possible causes of the yield differential between local and foreign securities issued in Reais envolve both quantitative factors, related to investment costs in Brazil and convertibility risk, which in part contributes to increase required yields for local securities, as well as qualitative factors, such as worse institutions in Brazil compared to the external institutions. The difference in the maturity of the two securities also comes from institutional issues, which, to some extent, reaffirms the theory of 'jurisdictional uncertainty' to explain this phenomenon. / O trabalho faz uma análise sobre as taxas de juros brasileiras, além das principais características da curva soberana de juros nominais, dando ênfase aos títulos pré-fixados emitidos pelo governo em moeda local, no mercado doméstico e externo, onde notamos a ocorrência de um fenômeno bastante peculiar, que é o diferencial de rendimento e de maturidade existentes entre os dois mercados. Arida, Bacha e Lara-Resende (2004) conjecturam sobre a existência de um risco inerente ao país, chamado por eles de 'incerteza jurisdicional', relacionado às instituições brasileiras, e que estaria por trás das altas taxas de juros e da inexistência de um mercado de crédito doméstico de longo prazo. É feito um diagnóstico mais detalhado sobre as possíveis causas do fenômeno de maior maturidade e menor rendimento dos títulos emitidos no mercado externo em relação aos títulos do mercado interno, notando-se que ambos os fenômenos – dos altos juros brasileiros e da inexistência de um mercado juros de longo prazo – estão diretamente relacionados. As conclusões sobre as possíveis causas para o diferencial de rendimento entre os títulos locais e externos emitidos em Reais dizem respeito tanto aos fatores quantitativos, relacionados aos custos de investimento no Brasil e ao risco de conversibilidade, que contribuem em parte para aumentar as taxas exigidas para os títulos locais, bem como aos fatores qualitativos, como piores instituições no Brasil em relação às instituições externas. A diferença de maturidade entre os títulos também advém de questões institucionais, o que reafirma de certo modo a teoria de 'incerteza jurisdicional' para explicar este fenômeno.

This thesis explores the use of domicilium as a criterion in choice of law and jurisdiction in South African law with special reference to private-law status. In this area of the law adherence to the status theory has, in the recent past, resulted in the use of domicile as an exclusive ratio jurisdictionis. This has impacted negatively on choice of law issues in status matters: since domicile constituted the sole jurisdictional criterion, little attention was devoted to choice of law. Even though the lex domicilii was, in actual fact, applied to choice of law issues concerning private-law status, it happened only as a result of the assumption of jurisdiction by the forum domicilii. With the emergence of alternative jurisdictional criteria, such as ordinary residence, choice of law issues will have to be addressed from a conflict of laws perspective, since the jurisdictional criteria will no longer ensure the application of the appropriate lex causae. In this regard recognition of the functional diversification of jurisdictional and conflicts connecting factors is crucial: different principles and policies underlie the fields of jurisdiction and choice of law and this must be borne in mind when a connecting factor is selected. In view of the prominence of domicilium as a connecting factor, problem areas in regard to the interpretation and ascertainment of domicile, especially the domicile of choice, is investigated within the context of the Domicile Act 3 of 1992 and with a view to future reform. It is submitted that the subjective animus requirement for the acquisition of a domicile of choice remains uncertain and undefined. Since domicile constitutes such an important connecting factor in issues pertaining to private-law status, as well as other non-status matters, it is essential that it should be readily and easily ascertainable. In this regard certain concrete proposals for future reform are advanced. Ultimately the domicile of an individual should indicate the community to which he/she truly belongs: only then will domicile constitute a conflicts connecting factor which satisfies the demands of conflicts justice. / Private Law / LL.
