Šio darbo pagrindinis tikslas buvo išsiaiškinti ar žiniasklaidoje galima viešinti ikiteisminio tyrimo duomenis jei tai gali įtakoti nešališką, nepriklausomą baudžiamąjį procesą. Atsakant į iškeltus darbo tikslus nagrinėjama tiek Lietuvos, tiek užsienio praktika (JAV, Anglija ir kt.). Daug diskusijų dėl šių principų konfrontacijos kyla JAV. Šios valstybės teismai jau seniai pripažino galimą viešumo pavojų, kai prisiekusieji, įtakoti visuomenėje, per žiniasklaidą, formuojamos nuomonės, priima subjektyvius, šališkus, neteisingus sprendimus. / Aim of this work was to find out whether the media can serve to promote the pre-test data if media, public opinion can affect the fair, impartial and independent court. In order to verify the these assumptions, it is important to clarify the application of the principle of publicity characteristics and limits of the criminal process, the analysis of both the pre-trial stage and trial, to examine public awareness and the importance of boundaries. It is also necessary to assess whether public opinion on a fair and impartial court, is it possible to maintain a balance between these two principles. In response to the issue raised by the work targets both Lithuanian and foreign law (the U.S., UK, etc.) are analysed. Much of the debate on the principles of the U.S. confrontation arises. Courts of this country had recognized the potential public risk, when the jury, influenced by society through the media, which formed the opinion, makes subjective, biased, incorrect decisions.

For this, we delined a brief scenery of the brasilian military dictatorial period in order to demonstrate the first fase of the process of democratization transition from the dictatorial regime to democractic regime and that the second fase consolidation is not concluded. We concepted the term principle to emphasize its importance in the legal system and we delineated the Democratic Principle as structuring or politicalconstitutional, therefore dependent on other principles or sub-principles for its implementation. Considering the existence of the interrelationship and the interdependency between the principles, we analyzed the Principles of Legality and the Supremacy of Public Interest; we discoursed about the Principle of Publicity as intrinsic to democracy and we passed to the fundamentals rights of truth and of information as logic developments of that Principle. Then we developed an explanations about the power system and its implications in actual society, like the individualism that leads to the loss of public space, and the occultation of informations that places us in a scenary where the democracy loses its strength. The result of all analysis was the confirmation of the relevance of the Principle of Publicity to make the people conscious of its role as citizen and that it is necessary to combine the people conscience with its mobilization to consolidate the democracy / O objetivo do presente trabalho é demonstrar a importância do Princípio da Publicidade para a concretização da democracia diante do sistema de poder. Para isso, traçamos um breve panorama do período ditatorial militar brasileiro com o fim de demonstrar a primeira fase do processo de democratização transição do regime ditatorial para o regime democrático e que a segunda fase consolidação permanece inconclusa. Conceituamos o termo princípio para ressaltar sua relevância e delineamos o Princípio Democrático como estruturante ou políticoconstitucional e, como tal, dependente de outros princípios ou sub-princípios para sua efetivação. Considerando a existência da inter-relação e da interdependência entre os princípios, analisamos os Princípios da Legalidade e da Supremacia do Interesse Público; discorremos sobre o Princípio da Publicidade como intrínseco à democracia e passamos aos direitos fundamentais à verdade e à informação como desdobramentos lógicos de tal Princípio. Desenvolvemos então, uma explanação sobre o sistema de poder e suas implicações na sociedade atual, tais como o individualismo que leva a perda do espaço público, e a sonegação de informações que nos coloca num cenário onde a democracia perde sua força. O resultado de todas as análises foi a confirmação da relevância do Princípio da Publicidade para que o povo se conscientize de seu papel de cidadão, e que é necessário combinar a consciência do povo com a sua mobilização para que a democracia seja consolidada

Money lenders frequently use sale and lease back agreements as an alternative to other more conventional forms of security. These agreements are popular because they are simple and inexpensive to put in place. Unfortunately, South African courts give legal effect to the true intention of contracting parties. Sale and lease back agreements are often held to be simulated contracts and as such they are enforced as disguised pledges. One of the few alternative security options available to money lenders, is a notarial bond registered in terms of the Security By Means of Movable Property Act 57 of 1993. This act has been criticised for creating an ineffective form of security that is costly and cumbersome to put in place. It is suggested that the current security options available to money lenders are supplemented with the creation of a more user friendly public register for the registration of security interests. / Private Law / LL.M.
