Formas interpretativas de decisión en el juicio de constitucionalidad de las leyesLópez Bofill, Hèctor 14 June 2002 (has links)
La tesi té per objecte l'estudi de les decisions d'una jurisdicció constitucional en les quals, com a alternativa a la declaració d'invalidesa, es condiciona la constitucionalitat dels preceptes legals que s'examinen a una determinada interpretació fixada pel Tribunal Constitucional. La investigació analitza els fonaments d'aquesta tècnica i els exemples del seu us en dret comparat. L'autor rebutja una aproximació a aquest fenomen de caràcter tipològic (que ha estat l'habitual en les aportacions fins ara publicades sobre la matèria) per endinsar-se a analitzar les raons materials i institucionals que porten a una jurisdicció constitucional a dictar aquesta mena de pronunciaments. / La tesis tiene por objeto el estudio de aquellas decisiones de una jurisdicción constitucional en las que, como alternativa a la declaración de invalidez, la constitucionalidad de los preceptos legales examinados quedan condicionados a una interpretación establecida por el propio Tribunal Constitucional. La investigación analiza los fundamentos de dicha técnica y los ejemplos de su uso en derecho comparado. El autor rechaza una aproximación a este fenómeno de carácter tipológico (habitual en las aportaciones hasta la fecha publicadas) y se centra en el análisis de las razones materiales e institucionales que impulsan a la jurisdicción constitucional a dictar esta especie de pronunciamientos. / The dissertation examines those constitutional court decisions in which the controlled statute is not set aside but constitutional under some conditions fixed by the Constitutional Court. The research analyzes the foundations of these decisions and their use by the Constitutional Courts in comparative law. The author rejects an approach of such decisions based upon their classification and argues for a position concerning the institutional and material background in which these decisions are invoked.

Readjusting orthodoxyLappas, Filippos January 2018 (has links)
The thesis in question is titled “Readjusting Orthodoxy”. It constitutes a discourse in UK constitutional law although legal theoretic, historical, politicial, philosophical, and EU-related complementary themes are also present. It is founded upon, and driven by, two fundamental, inter-related premises. First, that it is the orthodox reading of the UK Constitution which best describes and explains the present constitutional arrangement: the UK Parliament is a sovereign institution sitting at the apex of the UK Constitution and vested with the right to make and unmake any law whatsoever. In the second place, that, notwithstanding the above, this very reading of the UK Constitution is currently deficient in terms of internal cohesion, is plagued by ingrained anachronistic dogmas and enjoys only a limited adaptability. From these premises emerges a third proposition; namely, that the UK constitutional discourse as a whole would stand to lose greatly should alternative constitutional theories that are less suited to describe and explain the current constitutional arrangement replace the orthodox reading of the Constitution by exploiting these conspicuous drawbacks. Thus, the present treatise argues that the orthodox reading should after critical evaluation be readjusted in the various ways to be proposed so as to be rendered coherent, consistent, impervious to the numerous challenges it currently faces and, ultimately, capable of continuing to offer the canonical account of the ever-changing UK Constitution.

Cape Colonial parliamentary publications, 1854-1910 : with special reference to documents in the Dutch languageCoates, Peter Ralph 02 1900 (has links)
This is a study of official documents published by and for the Cape colonial Parliament from the
mid nineteenth century, when the parliamentary system of government began in South Africa, to
the early years of the twentieth century, when the Cape colony was incorporated into the Union of
South Africa. The constitutional framework within which government and parliamentary publishing
took place is outlined, and the relevance of each type of document to the work of Parliament and
the present-day researcher is explained. Emphasis has been placed on the administration of the
publishing process from conceptualization through the printing stages to distribution and finally to
the disposal of surplus material. The study concludes with an investigation of the current status of
Cape parliamentary publications respecting preservation issues and the exploitation of the material
for research purposes in libraries and archives, and some remarks on future trends. Particular
attention has been given to use of the Dutch language in the predominantly English language Cape
Parliament and the hitherto neglected effect this had on official publishing. Copious footnotes and
seven appendixes have been supplied to make this study thoroughly comprehensive. / Information Science / M.Info. (Information Science)

The winds of change : an analysis and appraisal of selected constitutional issues affecting the rights of taxpayersGoldswain, George Kenneth 09 May 2013 (has links)
Prior to 1994, South African taxpayers had little protection from fiscal legislation or the
decisions, actions or conduct of the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”) that violated
their common law rights. Parliament reigned supreme and in tax matters, the strict and literal
approach to the interpretation of statutes was employed, with the judiciary often quoting the
mantra that there is “no equity about tax”. The Income Tax Act (Act No 58 of 1962) was
littered with discriminatory and unfair provisions based on age, religion, sex and marital
status. Even unreasonable decisions taken by SARS could not be reviewed by the judiciary as
“unreasonableness” was not a ground for review of the exercise of a discretion by SARS. On
27 April 1994, the constitutional order changed. Parliamentary supremacy was replaced with
constitutional supremacy and the rights to privacy, equality, human dignity, property and just
administrative action were codified in a Bill of Rights. The codification of these fundamental
rights has materially changed the nature and extent of the rights of South African taxpayers.
The objective of this thesis, therefore, is to identify, analyse and discuss South African
taxpayers’ rights from a constitutional perspective.
The following major conclusions can be drawn from the research done:
- the judiciary have been forced to reappraise their approach to the interpretation of statutes
from a “strict and literal” to a “purposive” approach that is in accordance with the values
underpinning the new constitutional order;
- new legislation has amended some of the so-called “reverse” onus of proof provisions that
were constitutionally unsound – this should result in greater fairness and consistency for
affected taxpayers especially in the area of when penalties may be imposed;
- the concept of clean hands and good facts can influence the judiciary when arguing that a
taxpayer’s right to just administrative action has been violated; and
- discriminatory and unfair legislation and conduct on the part of SARS may and should be
attacked on a substantive law basis, especially where human dignity is at stake.
The overall conclusion is that taxpayers’ rights are more far-reaching than prior to 1994 but
still have some way to go before they are fully interpreted and developed. / Accounting Science / D.Compt.

Les Justes parmi les Nations de la région Rhône-Alpes : étude prosopographique / The Righteous among the Nations in the Rhône-Alpes region : a prosopographic studyBiesse, Cindy 04 December 2015 (has links)
Quelle population hétérogène que celle des Justes parmi les nations de Rhône-Alpes, et, par cette caractéristique même, peu saisissable ! S’ils ne sauraient, à eux seuls, représenter la totalité des situations de sauvetage, les Justes éclairent, par le simple fait qu’ils existent, un pan de la résistance civile sous l’Occupation. Ces hommes, ces femmes, appartiennent à une région originale, comme prédestinée à l’accueil. La diversité de ses paysages en fait le terrain d’expérimentation de toutes les formes de tourisme. Pays pratiquant, Rhône-Alpes est également le terreau d’expériences religieuses nouvelles et le berceau de la démocratie chrétienne. Région carrefour, ouverte, son pouvoir d’attraction se renforce sous l’Occupation, avec l’arrivée de flux nombreux d’exilés, de juifs notamment, qui s’efforcent d’y reprendre une vie « normale ». Les rafles de l’été 1942 font, soudainement, de l’aide dispensée aux réfugiés traqués une question de survie. Des hommes, des femmes, mus par des valeurs communes, encouragés par les ecclésiastiques qui les entourent, se mobilisent. Naissent ainsi de véritables chaînes de solidarité, transformant des bourgs ou des villages en territoires refuges, des individus anonymes en héros « ordinaires ». / What a heterogeneous population that the Righteous among the nations of Rhône-Alpes and, by this way, little comprehensible! If they don’t embody all the situations of the rescue, the Righteous enlighten, only because they do exist, a piece of the civilian Resistance under the Occupation. These people belong to an unusual region, as fated for the welcome. Its various landscapes led to the experiment of all the types of tourism. This practicing country is also the ground of new religious experiences and the cradle of the Christian democracy. The appeal of this crossroads strengthens under the Occupation with the arrival of exiles, Jews in particular, who try to take back their former life. The raids of the summer 1942 make suddenly the help to the pursued people a question of survival. Moved by common values, encouraged by the clerics who surround them, people mobilize. Thus real networks of support arise, transforming villages into sanctuaries, common people into heroes.

Instituce a organizace židovských obcí v Čechách v 17. a 18. století / Jewish Self-Government in Bohemia in 17th and 18th CenturiesHoleček, Kajetán January 2020 (has links)
The presented M.A. thesis pursues Jewish self-government in Bohemian towns and villages during the 17th and 18th centuries. Based on communal statutes of Jewish communities in Chodová Planá, Nové Sedliště, Rožmberk nad Vltavou, Rychnov nad Kněžnou and Tachov the study describes constitution of local self-government and agenda of communal officials. Even though the sources originate from communities scattered throughout Bohemia, we can find plenty of shared topics contained in the statutes. Thanks to this parallelism the study can outline common features of the Jewish self-government, of relation between Jewish communities and manorial lords and of everyday life in this communities.

The Swiss Missionaries' educational endeavour as a means for social transformation in South Africa (1873-1975)Masumbe, Benneth Mhlakaza Chabalala 06 1900 (has links)
This research traces the developments in Europe that led to a rush for foreign missions i
different parts of the world, with specific reference to South Africa. It describes the operations
of the Swiss missionaries in South Africa from 1873 to 1975. This study also evaluates the motives
for the evangelization of the African masses, and contradictions th existed in the relations that
missionaries had with proselytes during the period under review. The sterling contributions of
black evangelists in this period are demonstrated. It cannot be denied that the Swiss missionaries
did a lot of good to the indigenous populac of South Africa-the importance of their services at
Lemana Training Institution (1906) and Elim Hospital (1899) are indelibly inscribed in our
historiography. They should also applauded for their response to the plight of the Shangaans, who
had for reasons unkno
to the researcher been by-passed by other missions during the "scramble for mission fields". But
the missionaries also had their shortcomings, for instance their failure to ind the state to remove
capital punishment from the statute books. They may nonetheless stil continue to be used by the
present government of South Africa to assist in carrying the social transformation process forward. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
