Independence as Discovery: Mozambique's 1975 Nationalization of Funeral Services

In July 1975, a month after Mozambique's independence from Portugal, the state nationalized all health care, schooling, and legal counsel, so that all Mozambicans would have equal access to these key services – at least theoretically. The fourth, seemingly anomalous sector to be nationalized on the ‘Day of Nationalizations’: funeral services. The inflationary costs of burial in the capital, Lourenço Marques (today's Maputo) came to the attention of cabinet ministers only during the few weeks they had been ministers. Reacting with disgust, they decided there would be no ‘commercialization of death’ in the People's Republic of Mozambique. Based largely on interviews with the former minister of health and with Isaac Araújo, whose family ran perhaps the first African-owned funeral services business in Lourenço Marques, this article uses the episode to discuss the nature of government decision-making during the very earliest days of independence, a period that I argue deserves special attention. Emphasized is the role that Lourenço Marques played as context: how for neophyte ministers, learning to wield the levers of state was also a process of discovery about life in the capital city.

European payment order as a means of cross-border debt collection in the European Union

This article examines the European Payment Order (EPO). The importance of this instrument as a component of the principle of the EU internal market is emphasized. It has been argued that as in any trade or other commercial relationship, there is a risk of arrears, which creates problems for creditors. Problems can be further complicated by the fact that the debtor is located outside the state in which the creditor is located, and therefore it is a different state, with different laws, approaches to dispute resolution, etc. The main stages of the EPO procedure are considered. It is emphasized that the procedure looks simple in general, but the main drawback is immediately noticeable - for a dispute it is enough to simply submit an application without even providing sufficient grounds for the dispute. Thus, it allows the debtor to delay the case rather easily, transfer it to the national court (although it provides that the debtor must react within 30 days, which may not always happen in practice, especially if the debtor does not use the services of a qualified legal advisor). Also important is the fact that the EPO procedure is used in all EU member states, except for Denmark. This means that its application is truly universal and can be applied to almost any debtor in the European Union. It is indicated that EU Regulation No. 1896/2006 of December 12, 2006 applies to civil and commercial matters in cross-border cases, and also provides for exceptions when it cannot be applied. It was concluded that the main drawback of the procedure is that it would be more expedient if the debtor was obliged to provide at least minimal arguments, reasons for filing such an objection. This would allow to avoid groundless objections aimed solely at prolonging the resolution of the debt issue. In addition, it would force debtors to take the objection procedure more seriously and encourage them to seek help from qualified legal counsel. Since the services of such a legal advisor can be quite expensive, the debtor could weigh the expediency of such - for example, whether it makes sense to spend money and resources on such services, if the grounds for the claim are truly unconditional and the chances of a challenge already in court are zero. Instead, the debtor can very easily deny the application without any additional reasons. It was concluded that, at the same time, after Ukraine becomes a member of the European Union, it will be useful to join this procedure and it will be necessary to develop the main national features of the EPO application.

Relationality, community and collaboration in seventeenth-century Chancery court records

ABSTRACT This article adds significantly to the literature on the value of Chancery court documents, depositions in particular, demonstrating their worth as a source of information about early modern community relations, and collective and individual identity. Through a detailed reading of one particular late seventeenth-century case, it argues that depositions should be viewed as collaborations between plaintiffs, defendants, legal counsel and deponents. These sources are framed as communally produced and as the results of collaborations between multiple members of various overlapping community circles. Using the concept of relationality, as it is defined and deployed by scholars of life writing who note that virtually all autobiographical acts involve biographies of others, the article casts new light on the ways in which subjectivities were formed by individuals’ positions in relation to others. When applied to Chancery documents, close reading practices allow us to speculatively recreate the communities from which depositions and pleadings arose and to identify instances of contextualised self-construction within deponents’ representations of themselves, others, and those communities.

Modelling the Diffusion of the Deterrent Effects of Competition Policy

Abstract Through its competition policy interventions, the European Commission not only addresses infringements of EU competition law by the firms directly involved but also deters possible future anticompetitive behaviour by these firms and other market players. The present paper associates deterrence with the diffusion of information about the competition authority’s interventions to market players. In the mixed-influence diffusion model developed below, competition policy interventions act as an external signal sent to market players. Interactions between market players, in particular through legal counsels and law firms, further propagate the interventions’ deterrent effects. The focus of the model simulations is on interventions by the European Commission. The parameters of the mixed-influence diffusion model are calibrated using survey-based information on the order of magnitude of the deterrent effects of competition policy interventions and an assessment of the reputation of the European Commission as an enforcer of EU competition rules. On this basis, estimates of the deterrent effect of each individual intervention by the European Commission can be obtained. In addition, the sensitivity of the deterrent effects of competition policy interventions to the reputation of the competition authority and to the importance of interactions between market participants is analysed.

Peran Notaris dalam Memberikan Penyuluhan Hukum untuk Memenuhi Asas Proporsionalitas dalam Akta Para Pihak

Notaries have the authority to provide legal advice on the parties’ deeds or partij acta. However, it is not uncommon for the principle of proportionality to be unfulfilled in the deed to cause problems in the future, leading to the annulment of the deed by the court. This is the result of legal counseling that was not adopted by the parties. The formulation of the problem in this research is what is the role of the Notary in providing legal advices so that the principle of proportionality is fulfilled in making deeds of the parties, and what is the responsibility of the Notary whose deed does not satisfy the principle of proportionality and is thus annulled by the Court. This is a normative legal research carried out by using statutory and conceptual approaches. The results of the research and discussion show that the role of the Notary in providing legal counseling is only limited to the authority of the Notary and does not create obligations for the parties. As a result of this authority, the principle of proportionality will be difficult to fulfill even if the deed is made in authentic form and is a deed of the parties. The notary cannot be responsible for the annulment of the deed by the Court because the principle of proportionality is not fulfilled. As failure to meet the principle of proportionality is not part of the Notary’s responsibility which is regulated through statutory regulations. However, morally a Notary can fulfill the principle of proportionality through an authority, namely legal counseling
