Nach einer Periode der Selbstzweifel ist die Rechtsvergleichung als Disziplin in den vergangenen fünf Jahre zu neuem Leben erwacht. Zwar ist der überwiegende Teil der vergleichenden Arbeiten nach wie vor auf das "black-letter law" – also das geschriebene, akademische Recht – fokussiert, aber selbst diese Art der Rechtsvergleichung gewinnt an Bedeutung für diejenigen, die Regelungspolitik gestalten. Einige Rechtsvergleicher haben aber auch bereits begonnen, verfeinerte theoretische und empirische Ansätze zu entwickeln. Diese neue Entwicklung bildet eine wachsende Herausforderung für den "asienbezogenen" Zweig der Rechtswissenschaft ("Asian law scholarship"), der bislang von den Schwierigkeiten der tradierten Rechtsvergleichung profitiert hatte. Inzwischen erscheint insbesondere für Untersuchungen zum japanischen Recht eine umfassendere Betrachtungsweise vielversprechender zu sein, die Japan in einen Kontext zur globalen wie auch zur europäischen Rechtsentwicklung stellt und das Land damit in gewisser Weise aus der "asiatischen" Einbindung herauslöst.(Die Redaktion) ; Nach einer Periode der Selbstzweifel ist die Rechtsvergleichung als Disziplin in den vergangenen fünf Jahre zu neuem Leben erwacht.

Two individuals formed a company. Both held half the share capital and served as the company's only two directors. The Plaintiff was one of these shareholder-directors, and he submitted an application to the court requesting it to make such orders as it may think fit in terms of section 402 of the Companies Act 1995. Briefly, this section seeks to provide a remedy to a shareholder who complains that the affairs of a company are being conducted in a manner that was 'oppressive, unfairly discriminatory against, or unfairly prejudicial to a member or members'. ; peer-reviewed

The standard concept of law, consisting of legislation and case law, provides authority and legitimacy to law, as well as a methodology. Transnationalisation of law has necessitated the recognition of non-state influences. Although this should lead to an updated concept of law, authority and legitimacy are not actually problematic as these are in practice derived from the authority and legitimacy of national courts which decide most cases, albeit using new sources of law. The main problem of global law is methodology.

International law principles enable a rationalisation of the values to which the Union order aspires as a collective political and legal commitment amongst the Member States. The doctrine of Union law supremacy, which parallels that of international law supremacy, emphasises the overriding character of Union legal demands as a set of values and objectives over those of purely domestic origin. A common view that the Union legal order is sui generis or municipal in character fails to explain the directing character of the values underlying the Union project including its legal order. In this article I therefore explore and defend the view that the Union legal order is essentially one of international law. A central contention in this regard is that the supremacy of Union law obligations within the Member States is based on the principle of the supremacy of international law obligations over those originating in the domestic arena. The intensive rationalisation of this principle by the Court of Justice within its case law manages the intrusive domestic legal effects of the values and ideals found in the Union Treaties and illustrates the evolutionary character of the Union project.

The common theme of the articles assembled for this issue is a focus on Asian societies and their struggle with the conceptualization of "non-law" and its relation to law. This brief Comment reflects on the construction of the "non-law" as analytical categories in the four contributions. It suggests that the struggle with "non-law" reflects a deeper confusion about the role of law in ordering social relations broadly defined.' Focusing on the "non-law" assumes implicitly that "law" is a useful and well-delineated category for analyzing governance structures within and across states and thus can serve as a benchmark for analyzing "non-law." Closer inspection, however, reveals this assumption is flawed. Governance takes many forms in any society, and law or legislation is only one of them. Moreover, the function and form of formal law has changed in many settings from one of direct social ordering by way of prohibitions, punishments, and the like to one of creating space for cooperation among multiple actors and adaptations in governance structures over time. Further, the level of formal versus informal law in a society and in the governance of certain aspects of social life is fairly irrelevant absent a debate over the substantive goals that governance shall achieve. Put differently, the focus on law versus non-law evades the more challenging task of considering the normative agenda underlying choices among different governance mechanisms and their use in practice.

Taking a cue from Professor Laurence Tribe's decision to abandon the third edition of his constitutional law treatise, the organizers of this symposium have asked us to address whether constitutional law is in crisis. I am agnostic on that question, although I think that there has been a turn in the wrong direction. But if there is a crisis, I know who to blame. If constitutional law is in crisis, it is our fault. The legal academy has erased the distinction between law and politics, used its expertise for political advantage rather than for elucidation, and mis-educated a generation of lawyers. We thus should not be surprised if judges have, as Professor Ristroph suggests, lost their faith in the Constitution. We have led them into the wilderness.

The presentation explores whether housing law and anti-discrimination law can be reflected upon jointly in order to address socioeconomic inequalities, understood as major constraints to the access to adequate housing. The first section analyses the prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of socioeconomic status as contained in selected international human rights instruments and in European Union law, in light of the guidance of the bodies tasked with their interpretation and application. The second section focuses specifically on housing, examining how the aforementioned prohibition applies in this field and which specific mechanisms ought to be put in place to effectively secure the right to housing of low-income groups.
