CN The Hague: Kluwer Law International 2000. Book. Like New. Cloth. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. This collection of articles is a reflection of the wide range of interests held by estate and trust lawyers. The issues discussed include: art law in the context of an estate or trust; questions of control over the body itself including the futuristic issue of the status of frozen embryos in relation to an estate; broad trusts' issues including the place and nature of the trust in both civil and common law jurisdictions; and the resolution of family property concerns in relation to matrimonial law forced heirship laws or family provision on death. Other articles consider practical questions such as transnational tax planning planning for the transition of a family business on death retirement planning and the management of collective investments. The work takes a comparative approach examining each issue from the perspective of a number of different jurisdictions. This collection arises from the annual meetings and discussion of members from the International Academy of Estate and Trust Law. 963pp. Kluwer Law International Hardcover

CN The Hague: Kluwer Law International 2002. Book. Like New. Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. In recent years a number of company bankruptcies in Europe - particularly in the Netherlands - have exposed serious gaps in the securing by law of reparations due to employees. As matters stand employees - who were dependent upon the bankruptcy not only for their income but also for their employment and social security - have little to expect in terms of payment of arrears of pay protection against dismissal continued employment in the event of a business transfer or participation rights. This work opens this far-reaching and hugely important issue by comparing employee rights in bankruptcy among four major European trading partners - the Netherlands the United Kingdom Belgium and Germany. It is to be hoped that armed with the substantive and procedural details that are fully laid out in these pages company lawyers and bankruptcy lawyers throughout Europe will be enabled to bring the rights of employees in bankruptcy into a light at least as clear as that focused on other creditors. The contributors examine not only the individual fairness issue - the unequal position of the employee as weaker party in the labour market - but also the central policy issue: does an improvement of the position of employees in a bankruptcy give rise to less willingness on the part of lenders to keep the flow of money open or greater control by lenders over the way in which borrowers run their businesses with as a result slower economic growth and hence a lower level of employment The study was commissioned by the Stichting Ondersteuningsfonds Oud-Werknemers DAF Benevolent Fund Foundation for Former DAF Employees in Eindhoven and carried out by researchers of the Faculty of Law of the Katholieke Universiteit Brabant in Tilburg. Its provisional findings presented at the conference on "Employee Rights in Bankruptcy" held in Tilburg on 8 December 1999 were considered and discussed from a variety of viewpoints by representatives of such relevant parties as trade unions and employers' organizations receivers in bankruptcy banks public authorities politicians and legal experts. The end result is this report which should contribute to a better understanding of the difficult issue of employee rights in bankruptcy and to stimulate discussion of remedies that are indispensable to the maintenance of a responsible society. 69pp. Kluwer Law International Paperback
