The purpose of this thesis is to determine the scope and consequences of the separability doctrine in English law. It reveals a tension which hitherto has not been explored or understood between the desire to widen the separability doctrine so as to promote commercial arbitration and the need for that doctrine to rest on sound principle and policy. The thesis seeks to convince the reader that: (i) English arbitration law is, and should continue to be, based on a contractual theory of arbitration; (ii) the separability doctrine, as applied in England, is consistent with a contractual theory of arbitration; (iii) the best way for the English doctrine of separability to develop, for reasons of policy and principle, is to recognise two main exceptions to separability, these being for non-existent and for illegal contracts; and (iv) the competence-competence principle can, and should, be utilised in order to mitigate some possible drawbacks of the above-mentioned exceptions to the separability doctrine. In developing the above arguments the thesis tackles issues of great importance that have tended to be overlooked, in particular the relationship between the separability doctrine and general theories of arbitration and the relationship between the separability doctrine and the competence-competence principle.

I Sverige idag byggs alltfler gröna bostadsrättshus. Detta ökar kravet på tekniskt kunnande hos bostadsrättsföreningen för att kunna underhålla och förvalta de tekniska komponenterna i fastigheten. För att möta det ökade kravet krävs det en förändring av fastighetsförvaltningen som den ser ut idag. Uppsatsen undersöker två metoder för detta; ett utökat förvaltningsansvar hos byggherren samt en auktorisation av förvaltare av gröna hus. För byggherrar vilka vill bibehålla en seriös profil finns klara fördelar med att ha ett utökat förvaltningsansvar, detta ger dem incitament att bygga huset mer långsiktigt samt att det ger en lägre risk för deras köpare i och med att det ger en bättre relation med bostadsrättsföreningen. Bostadsrättsföreningar styrs av en styrelse med boenden i föreningen. Dessa personer agerar inte alltid efter vad som är bäst för bostadsrättsföreningen utan styrs ibland utav egenintressen. Detta gör att det finns ett behov att skapa en högre auktoritet hos förvaltaren, en auktorisation av densamme skulle öka förtroende hos styrelsen och i slutändan ge en mer långsiktigt bättre förvaltning av huset. Det finns även ett behov av att göra förvaltningstjänsten heltäckande, detta gör att förvaltarens intressen bättre kommer stämma överens med bostadsrättsföreningens. För samhället i stort finns det ett behov att få förvaltningen av bostadsrättshus att fungera. Bostadsrätt är en av de största boendeformerna i Sverige och det finns många ekonomiska risker relaterade med boendeformen. Att då lagstifta om förvaltningen skulle minska riskerna för många medborgare i Sverige. Lagen bör vara utformad så att båda metoderna inkluderas, att byggherren har ett förvaltningsansvar och att en förvaltare av gröna bostadsrättshus måste vara en auktorisad förvaltare av gröna hus. / In Sweden today more and more green condominiums are built. This increases the demand of technical knowledge of the housing cooperative to be able run the maintenance and operations of technical components of the house. To meet the increased demand a change is needed in the property management as it is today. This thesis looks at the methods of improving the property management; a prolonged maintenance and operations responsibility for the contractor and an authorisation of property managers of green houses. For developers who want to maintain a reputable profile there are clear advantages to having prolonged management responsibilities, this gives them an incentive to build the house more long-term and that they represent a lower risk to their buyers, in that it gives a better relationship with the housing association. A board governs Housing Associations with members of the association. These people are not always acting in the best interest of the housing association but instead sometimes out of selfinterest. This means that there is a need to create a higher authority of the property manager, an authorization by him would increase the authority of the board and ultimately provide a more long-term and improved property management of the house. There is also a need to make the property management a wide-ranging management service, this will make the manager's interests better match the interests of condominium association. For society at large, there is a need to have the management of multi-family housing to work. Cooperative housing is one of the most common forms of housing in Sweden and there are many economic risks associated with the housing form. To regulate the management would reduce the risks of many citizens in Sweden. The law should be designed in a way that Abstract Title: Methods of property management of green buildings - a study from a contractual theory perspective Authors Erika Kenne Department Department of Real Estate and Construction Management Thesis number 207 Supervisor Hans Lind Keywords Property management, contractual theory, green buildings, authorisation 3 includes both methods, the constructor have a prolonged maintenance and operation responsibility and that the property manager needs to be authorized as a property manager of green houses.

The world’s human population is presently politically organized into an international system of territorially-defined nation-states. Each nation-state claims sovereign rights to non-interference and self-determination which minimize the legitimate influence of all other nation-states on the conduct of its internal affairs. International political discourse using the concept of human rights has become increasingly influential in addressing the regulation and restrictions of coercive activity that governing institutions can exact upon citizen populations. If there are universal human rights that all persons possess regardless of national affiliation, does this include basic economic rights that should insure all persons the basic economic goods necessary for healthy subsistence? Philosophers working within the state of nature contractual theory of government philosophical tradition, including Hobbes, Locke, Nozick, and Rawls, reach contradictory conclusions regarding the existence of universal basic economic rights. More recently, Shue has provided arguments affirming the existence of universal basic economic rights.

This change, already noticeable in the 1988 Federal Constitution and in some statutes, such as the Consumer Code, grew more acute after the enactment of the 2002 Civil Code. Apart from incorporating the modern social contractual theory, using methods such as those of general clauses and indeterminate concepts, it gave judges more latitude to interfere in contracts. This thesis aims at examining aspects of modern contractual theory, as it appears in the Civil Code (expressed in a number of general provisions v.g. good faith; social function of contracts), as well as at analyzing the available forms for judicial intervention in contracts. It suggests that such judicial intervention is not only possible but even desirable mainly as a tool to prevent the contract from being unnecessarily terminated / A teoria contratual passou, nos últimos anos, por uma profunda transformação, motivada, principalmente, pela migração do pensamento liberal, predominante quando da edição do Código Civil de 1916, para o pensamento social. Esta evolução, que já se fazia sentir na Constituição Federal e em alguns ordenamentos, como o Código de Defesa do Consumidor, adquiriu um enfoque especial com a edição do Código Civil de 2002. Além de consagrar, de forma definitiva, a teoria contratual moderna ou social, o Código Civil de 2002, utilizando-se de métodos como as cláusulas gerais e os conceitos indeterminados, conferiu um maior poder ao magistrado para, inclusive, intervir nos contratos. Por meio do presente trabalho, objetivamos estudar os atuais contornos da teoria contratual moderna, tal como foi consagrada pelo Código Civil de 2002, com a previsão expressa das cláusulas gerais da boa-fé objetiva e da função social do contrato, bem como analisar as formas de intervenção do juiz nos contratos. Concluimos que realmente esta intervenção é possível, inclusive, com o objetivo de integrar o contrato, sempre objetivando a sua manutenção à sua rescisão. Analisamos, também os métodos utilizados pelos magistrados, tanto com relação às ações individuais, tanto no tocante às lides coletivas

The diploma thesis on Arbitration procedure within international business transactions focuses on the place of arbitration procedure and its relation to the national system of law. The first chapter is concerned with the dispute resolutions within international business transactions. The thesis characterises the alternative dispute resolutions and defines the term of arbitration procedure within international business transactions. The basic characteristics thereof are specified and the theories which attempt to explain nature of arbitration are described - contractual, jurisdictional, mixed and autonomy theory. The term of the place of arbitration is defined in the second chapter as the real place situated in the territory of a particular state. This place is distinguished from the arbitration seat and from other terms which used to be confused with the place of arbitration. The arbitration seat is deemed to represent legal domicile of the arbitration. The system of law of the seat determines the legal regime of arbitration procedure. The thesis further describes two main theories dealing with the relation between the place of arbitration and the national system of law - seat theory and delocalization theory. The relation between the place of arbitration and the national system of law is also...
