This thesis argues that the twin concept of separate personality and limited liability from its historical beginnings, has entrenched corporate irresponsibility. It assesses the role that these concepts have played in tackling corporate irresponsibility from their historical origins to the present day, commenting on the lessons learnt. Whilst the institution of the company as a legal person is unquestionably the bedrock of modern company law,1 this thesis examines these concepts not necessarily from the position of disputing the philosophical, economic, or political imperatives, all of which are incredibly important – but from the viewpoint that historically, the principle of separate personality and limited liability entrenches corporate irresponsibility. As such, this thesis suggests a partial abandonment of the separate personality principle because it provides a mechanism for dishonest directors to escape liability for their fraudulent conduct. It also argues that the existing judicial evasion and concealment2 principles and the statutory fraudulent and wrongful trading provisions under the Insolvency Act 19863 are too restrictive, and ambiguous in combating corporate abuse. It is concluded that the existing common law and statutory rules geared towards combating abuse of limited liability provides no coherent format upon which the courts and legislature may effectively curb abuse of the corporate form. As such, these laws in light of their inability to make dishonest directors personally liable for their fraudulent conducts ought to be challenged. There is a need to challenge the existing rules in order to show the effect abuse of limited liability has on creditors, the public and the economy. This research indicates that there ought to be an adequate and effective alternative law which provides balance and support for genuine enterprise whilst providing a robust system whereby those who abuse the corporate form can be easily made liable for corporate debts.

Denna uppsats presenterar fyra obeslöjade svensk-muslimska kvinnors uppfattning och erfarenheter rörande slöjan, valet att inte bära slöja och samhällets syn på slöjan. Grundad på dessa kvinnors berättelser syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka vad det är som ligger bakom valet att inte bära slöja. Kvalitativ semistrukturerad intervju har används som metod för insamlingen av det empiriska materialet, och empiristyrd tematisk metod för analysen av det. De teoretiska begrepp som empirin vidare diskuterats utifrån är identitet, klassificering, symboler, normer och social kontroll. Informanterna i denna studie förklarar att de aldrig har känt sig tvingade till att bära slöja. De tycker inte att de behöver bära slöja för att kunna identifiera sig som muslimska kvinnor. Islam ligger inte i slöjan, utan i ens relationen till Gud. Vidare visar resultatet att de informanter som kommer från länder kategoriserade som muslimska länder har påverkats mer av det svenska sekulära samhället och dess normer än de som inte kommer från länder kategoriserade som muslimska länder. Hos alla informanter finns det ändå en rädsla för samhällets bemötande och potentiella hinder som får dem att stå fast vid beslutet att inte bära slöja. / This essay presents four not-/unveiled Swedish Muslim women's perceptions and experiences regarding the headscarf, the choice not to wear a headscarf, and the dominant understanding of the headscarf in Swedish society. Drawing on narratives of these women, this study aims to examine what it is that lies behind the choice not to wear the veil. Qualitative semi-structured interview was used as method for the collection of empirical data, and empirically guided thematic approach to the analysis of it. Moreover, set out from theoretical concepts of identity, classification, symbols, norms and social control, the obtained data is discussed. The participants in this study explains that they have never felt forced to wear the veil. They are of the opinion that one does not have to wear a headscarf in order to identify oneself as Muslim women. Islam, or ones level of religiosity, is not connected with a headscarf, rather, ones relationship as a Muslim is between that person and God. Moreover, the result indicates that the informants born in countries categorized as Muslim countries have been more affected by the Swedish secular society and its norms than those born in countries not categorized as Muslim countries. Nevertheless, they all fear potential rejection, negative sanctions and aggressions of society, causing them to stand by the decision not to wear a veil.

Ce mémoire propose d’étudier la problématique de la gestion de la diversité religieuse au Québec à partir de la question du port du foulard islamique. Le premier objectif du mémoire est de caractériser le contexte socio-historique québécois, en voyant comment cette société se trouve en tension entre le modèle multiculturaliste canadien d’une part, et l’influence de la laïcité stricte à la française. En second lieu, cet ouvrage s’appuie sur les écrits tardifs de John Rawls pour développer un modèle libéral républicain de gestion du pluralisme. Le dernier chapitre vise quant à lui à appliquer ce modèle d’inspiration rawlsienne à la problématique du port du foulard, et ce, afin de montrer en quoi il peut constituer une formule mitoyenne pour le Québec en fournissant une solution autant aux écueils de l’approche libérale individualiste qu’à ceux de l’approche du républicanisme jacobin. / This thesis analyzes the problem of managing religious diversity in Quebec through the debates surrounding the Islamic veil. The thesis' first objective is to characterize Quebec's socio-historical context, mainly by underlining the tension between Canadian multiculturalism and French-style secularism. Afterwards, this work will rely on the late writings of John Rawls in the development of a liberal republican model in regards to managing diversity. The last chapter will involve the application of this model to the problem of the Islamic veil in Quebec, in order to present an hybrid solution that is as liberal as it is republican.

The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the companies in the field of the international private law. After the introduction and general remarks on the topic it proceeds to the recognition of foreign companies in the law of the Czech Republic.

Next the first part of the thesis focuses on the conditions under which foreign companies can run their business in the Czech Republic. Lastly, the possibility of cross-boarder movement of the companies' seats into and out of the Czech Republic is analysed. The first part of this work takes into the consideration not only the Czech law but also the law of European Union and the relevant case law of the European Court of Justice. The second part of this work deals with doctrine called piercing the corporate veil, which was established in the common law area. It analyses grounds leading to the posibility of aplication of this doctrine in common law area and in German law. The work examines cases of single companies as well as of companies being part of a group of companies. After the analysis of grounds leading to the posibility of use of the piercing the corporate veil follows their generalisation and synthesis. The conclusion of the work is dedicated to...

In order to reach the aimed conclusion, the paper will analyze the disregard doctrine by the material aspect, studying why an institute of procedural law, which seeks to eliminate the autonomy of assets existing between a legal entity and its members, preventing third parties from receiving credits for which they are entitled (financial loss), can be set up at a procedural moment where there is still no credit (cognizance phase) / O presente trabalho tem a finalidade de analisar as razões pelas quais o incidente de desconsideração da personalidade jurídica instaurado na fase de conhecimento tem função cautelar. Para chegar à almejada conclusão, o trabalho analisará a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica pelo prisma material, estudando porque um instituto de direito processual, que visa afastar a autonomia patrimonial existente entre pessoa jurídica e seus integrantes, evitando que terceiros deixem de receber créditos aos quais tem direito (prejuízo financeiro), pode ser instauração em um momento processual em que ainda não há crédito (fase de conhecimento)

Thus, it was up to the magistrate, through provocation of the party, to adopt the procedure he considered most appropriate. The legal forecast of the procedural incident removed the legal uncertainty that existed until then, so that the parties begin to know, in advance, the procedural track to discuss their incidence. In the Labor Procedural Law, there was already an indication of the application of the incident, via a subsidiary invocation of the general procedural rules, including the manifestation of the TST in this sense. Doubts were buried with the labor reform, brought by Law 13467/2017, which was clear in this regard. In order to understand the logic of the incident in this specialized, this thesis proposes the presentation of the principles of the work process, the scope of the civil process subsidiarity to the labor process, with the discussions around this theme, as well as the own institute of the disregard of personality and, of course, by the consequences of its non-observance by the Labor Judge, since even if labor reform had room for discussion, the legal amendment, as already mentioned, leaves no room for understanding other than its observance. It is also proposed to discuss the incident of disregard of the legal personality, invoking the principles that underpin its relevance, the general power of caution and the protection of urgency as a possible justification to avoid the need to install the incident, as well as the official impulse and possible resources to be handled in the reception or request for disregard of legal personality / A desconsideração da personalidade jurídica está prevista em nosso ordenamento jurídico, mas até a recente alteração no Código de Processo Civil, em 2015, sem regramento quanto à forma de sua aplicação. Assim, cabia ao magistrado, via provocação da parte, adotar o trâmite que entendesse mais adequado. A previsão legal do incidente processual afastou a insegurança jurídica até então existente, de tal modo que as partes passam a conhecer, de antemão, o trilhar processual para discussão de sua incidência. No Direito Processual do Trabalho, já havia indicação da aplicação do incidente, via invocação subsidiária das normas processuais gerais, inclusive com manifestação do TST. As dúvidas foram sepultadas com a reforma trabalhista, trazida pela Lei 13.467/2017, que foi clara nesse sentido. Para entendimento da lógica do incidente nessa especializada, esta tese propõe a apresentação dos princípios do processo do trabalho, o alcance da subsidiariedade do processo civil ao processo do trabalho, com as discussões em torno desse tema, bem como o próprio instituto da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, passando, obviamente, pelas consequências de sua não observância pelo juiz do trabalho. Visto que, até a reforma trabalhista havia espaço para discussão, a alteração legal, como já mencionado, não deixa espaços para entendimento outro que não a sua observância. Propõe-se, também, a discussão do próprio incidente de desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, invocando os princípios que sustentam sua relevância, o poder geral de cautela e a tutela de urgência como possível justificativa para afastar a necessidade da instauração do incidente, assim como o impulso oficial e os recursos possíveis de serem manejados diante do acolhimento ou do pedido de desconsideração da personalidade jurídica

A presente dissertação tem por objetivo analisar o debate teórico entre cosmopolitas, comunitaristas e pós-modernos a respeito da tensão entre universalismo do Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos e soberania estatal no caso da lei francesa de 2010 que proíbe a dissimulação da face no espaço público, mas que se aplica às mulheres muçulmanas adeptas do uso do véu integral. / This work aims at analyzing the theoretical debate between cosmopolitans, communitarians, and postmodernists about the tension between the universalism of International Human Rights Law and state sovereignty in the case of the French law of 2010, which prohibits the concealment of the face in the public space, applying, however, only to muslim women who are adept to the use of the full veil.

Starting at the basic definitions, the paper‟s objective is to demonstrate the main aspects and fundaments of this theory in order to apply and test them in the subsystem of tax Law, considering its material and procedural particularities. Concluding that it is possible to apply the lifting of the corporate veil to the tax Law, after analysing and conjugating various doctrinaire and jurisdictional understandings, this paper finally aims at offering a critical and comparative analysis between the lifting of the corporate veil and similar institutions. It constitutes a multidisciplinary paper that aggregates institutions and doctrinaire concepts belonging to various Law subsystems, such as the civil, the commercial, the procedural, and mainly, the tax Law, confronting them with decisions taken by Brazilian courts, specially the Superior Court of Justice / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a possibilidade de aplicação da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica no direito tributário. Partindo de definições básicas, visa demonstrar os principais aspectos e fundamentos dessa teoria para aplicá-los e testá-los no subsistema do direito tributário, considerando, para tanto, as particularidades materiais e processuais desse subsistema. Concluindo pela possibilidade de aplicação da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica no direito tributário, após analisar e conjugar diferentes entendimentos doutrinários e jurisprudenciais sobre o tema, visa oferecer, por fim, uma análise crítica e comparativa entre a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica e institutos semelhantes. É um trabalho multidisciplinar, que agrega institutos e conceitos doutrinários pertencentes a diversos subsistemas do direito, como o civil, comercial, empresarial, processual e, principalmente, o tributário, confrontando-os com decisões dos tribunais brasileiros, principalmente os superiores
