This thesis examines the jurisprudence of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Panels and Appellate Body (AB) and investment tribunals on non-discrimination clauses contained in the WTO agreements and investment agreements respectively. The thesis puts forward an alternative conceptual perspective through which the interpretation of non-discrimination provisions in international economic law could be analysed. It is argued that nondiscrimination obligations (as every legal rule to a greater or lesser extent) are inherently indeterminate. This is a fortiori the case in regard to non-discrimination provisions due to their link to the concept of equality. The concept of equality is open-ended and value-laden: its content depends on the prioritisation of different values. Thus, equality in the economic sphere can accommodate different conceptions which reflect different ideological approaches in relation to regulation, economic development and the proper role of the State in the economy. International courts and tribunals enjoy broad discretion in selecting which conception of equality to adopt when interpreting non-discrimination clauses. This indeterminacy is a positive characteristic of international economic regimes. Both the WTO and the investment arbitration regime are equipped with institutional characteristics which enable the contestation of different ideological approaches and promote pluralism. In the WTO context, this role is fulfilled by the institutional structure of the organization which facilitates the dialogue between the WTO members and the WTO Dispute Settlement System. In the realm of international investment arbitration, the mechanism of party-appointed arbitrators, despite its shortcomings which can be addressed, ensures value pluralism.

The focus of this study is the protection of creditors’ rights in South Africa’s statutory business rescue regime provided for in Chapter 6 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008. In this analysis, three issues in particular are addressed in depth. The first is the creditors` power to initiate the business rescue process. The second is the position of creditors between the commencement and the termination of the business rescue process. The third issue is to suggest (on the basis of experience drawn from reported case law and academic criticism of the current business rescue statutory provisions) an improved model that will more effectively safeguard creditors’ rights in South Africa’s business rescue regime. In exploring these issues, I give a critical review of pertinent literature. With respect to the first issue, I conclude that the legislative provisions granting creditors the right to seek a court order initiating the business rescue process are open to criticism. By contrast, a resolution of the board of directors for the commencement of business rescue is a simpler route. With regard to the second issue I conclude that the company’s creditors have considerable influence in the business rescue process. Overall, the current statutory business rescue regime is intended to give a voice to all major stakeholders in the company’s continued solvent existence. In the event of certain irresoluble disputes in the course of that process, the judiciary has the final say. A substantial number of judicial decisions have provided interpretations of the statutory provisions, and the trend has been to try to restore financial ailing companies to solvency and viability where there is a reasonable prospect for success in this regard. In my conclusion, I propose a legislative model that seeks to strike an optimum balance between the competing and sometimes conflicting interests of the various interested parties and I suggest reforms directed at enhancing the protection of creditors’ rights. This thesis takes account of South African legislation and legislative amendments as at 31 December 2016 and of decisions of the South African courts up to and including those handed down during April 2017 and reported in the saflii on-line law reports. Since a substantial part of this thesis was written from outside South Africa, the author relied heavily on the safllii data base of judgments of the South African courts, rather than on hard copy law reports which take time to reach their destination by post.

Healthcare markets have started being created in Europe. Indeed, some European countries, such as the UK and the Netherlands, have started adopting the choice and competition model for healthcare delivery. Taking as a starting point that as health systems in Europe move towards market driven healthcare delivery, the application of competition law in these systems will increase, the goal of this doctoral thesis is (a) to identify some of the competition problems that may be raised in light of the reality that especially in hospital and medical markets the pursuit of competition and the pursuit of essential dimensions of healthcare quality may inevitably clash (b) to demonstrate that competition authorities would be unable to address some of these competition problems if they did not pose and address a fundamental question first: how should we define and assess quality in healthcare? How should we take healthcare quality into account in the context of a competition analysis? In delving into these questions, this doctoral thesis explores how the notion of healthcare quality is defined from antitrust, health policy and medicine perspectives and identifies three different models under which competition authorities may actually assess how a specific anticompetitive agreement or hospital merger may impact on healthcare quality. These are: (a) the US market approach under which competition authorities may define quality in healthcare strictly as choice, variety, competition and innovation (b) the European approach under which competition authorities may extend the notion of consumer welfare in healthcare so that it encompasses not only the notions of efficiency, choice and innovation, but also the wider objectives and values European health systems in fact pursue (c) the UK model under which competition authorities may cooperate with health authorities when they assess the impact of a specific transaction on healthcare quality. The thesis identifies the main merits and shortcomings of these models and emphasizes that what is crucial for the adoption of a holistic approach to healthcare quality is not only the model under which healthcare quality is actually integrated into a competition analysis but also competition authorities’ commitment to protect all dimensions of this notion.

Pay sahipleri genel kurula katılma maliyetlerinin fazla gelmesi, buna ayıracak zamanlarının olmaması veya sağlık sorunları gibi sebeplerle dolayı genel kurula katılmak istemeyebilir. Bunun sonucunda pay sahiplerinin şirketin işleyişine ve genel kurul kararlarına etki etme olasılıkları zayıfladığından; genel kurullarda, etkin ve iyi organize olmuş pay sahipleri gerçekte çoğunluk olmasalar da istedikleri kararların alınmasını sağlayabilmektedirler. Bu durum genel kurulda güç boşluğu sorununun doğmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu kapsamda anonim şirket genel kurulunda pay sahibinin temsilinin bu konudaki sorunları giderme de önemli bir rolü vardır. İşte tezimizin konusu, TTK ve SerPK çerçevesinde anonim şirket genel kurulunda pay sahibinin temsilidir. Bilindiği üzere 6102 sayılı TTK bir bütün olarak 01.07.2012 tarihinde yürürlüğe girmiş ve böylece elli yılı aşkın bir süredir uygulanan 6762 sayılı eTTK'yı yürürlükten kaldırmıştır. Yine 6362 sayılı SerPK 30.12.2012 tarihinde yürürlüğe girerek 2499 sayılı SerPK'yı yürürlükten kaldırmıştır. Bu yeni kanunlarda tez konumuzla ilgili olarak bir dizi değişiklikler yapılmış ve yenilikler getirilmiştir. Tez konusunun seçilmesindeki amaç, pay sahibinin temsiliyle ilgili olarak TTK ve SerPK mevzuatlarında getirilen yeni düzenlemelerin Yargıtay kararları, öğretideki görüşler ve mukayeseli hukuk ışığında değerlendirerek olası problemler karşısında çözüm önerileri getirip Türk Hukukuna katkı sağlamaktır. Bu tez çalışmasının ortaya konulması sırasında özellikle konuya kaynaklık eden İsviçre Hukuku ve literatüründen faydalanılmıştır. Konu, Türk Hukuku bakımından incelenirken İsviçre Hukukundan farklılıkları ve benzerlikleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bunun dışında konumuzla ilgili olarak Alman, Amerikan, İngiliz ve Avrupa Birliği Hukuklarından da yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmeler sonucunda birçok sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Ancak özellikle şunu belirtmeliyiz ki; halka açık anonim ortaklıklar düşünülerek getirilen TTK m. 428'de ifade edilen toplu temsilciler ile ilgili düzenleme, SerPK m. 30/4'te ve SPK II-30.1 sayılı Tebliğ m. 5/3 düzenlemeleri sebebiyle uygulanmayacaktır. Üstelik bu hükümler nedeniyle Türk Ticaret Kanunu ile Bazı Kanun ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılmasına Dair Kanun Tasarısı Taslağı m. 12'de TTK m. 428, 430 ve 431 hükümlerinin yürürlükten kaldırılması öngörülmektedir. Getiriliş amacı geniş kitlelerin temsilini sağlamak olan bu hükümleri yürürlükten kaldırmak yerine, SerpK'nın ilgili hükümleri ile gerekli koordinasyon sağlanarak, bunların tüm ortaklıklar yönünden uygulanmasının yolu açılmalıdır.

Shareholders may refrain to join general assembly meetings due to the reasons like participation costs, lack of time and health issues. Since the possibility of the shareholders to have an impact on the functioning of the company and its general assembly gets weakened as a result of non-attendance, active and well-organized shareholder groups-despite the fact that they do not constitute the majority of the shareholders- may achieve their desired general assembly decisions. This particular issue causes an occurrence of a power gap in general assemblies. In this context, representation of the shareholders in the general assembly of the joint stock companies plays a role of utmost importance in eradicating such problems. Hence, the topic of my thesis is the representation of the shareholders in the general assembly of the joint stock companies within the legal framework of Turkish Commercial Code and Turkish Capital Market Code. As known, Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 came into force in 01.07.2012, repealing former Turkish Commercial Code No. 6762 which was in force for more than fifty years. Also, Turkish Capital Market Code no. 6362 came into force in 30.12.2012, repealing former Turkish Capital Market Code no. 2449. There has been a series of amendments performed on those two codes concerning my thesis topic. My main goal on choosing this topic is to contribute to Turkish Law through assessing those amendments in the light of supreme court orders, scientific opinions and comparative law and to provide solutions to the existing and prospective problems. In preparation of this work, apart from Turkish Law, Swiss Law is highly referenced as it constitutes the main source of the issue. Therefore, while assessing the point, similarities and differences between Turkish and Swiss law is asserted. Besides, German Law, European Union Law, American Law and English law are also referenced for the sake of the proper assessment of the topic. As a consequence of made analyzes, a lot of conclusions are drawn. However, it is to be pointed out particularly that the regulations in Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 article 428 which were provided considering open joint stock companies will not be applied because of Turkish Capital Market Code No. 2449 article 30/4 and the regulation of Turkish Capital Market Board no. II-30.1 article 5/3. Moreover, because of those provisions, repealing of the articles no. 428,430,431 of Turkish Commercial Code no. 6102 is at stake. Instead of repealing those provisions of Turkish Commercial Code no. 6102 -which aim at representation in a broader sense- establishing the coordination between those provision and related Turkish Capital Market Code provisions and enabling the application of those provisions on all sort of companies must be done.

The picture presented and often referred to in EU internal market law and legal scholarship is clear. Within the internal market private actors are the recipients of rights and public authorities are constrained in their (regulatory) powers. The notion of this new individualism is bound up with capacities, powers, and resources that empower private actors to engage in the internal market and cross-border situations;ultimately serving the objectives the internal market seeks to attain. Yet, within thinew individualism a conceptually different class of private actors has emerged that is constrained in economic freedoms, i.e. through obligations, rather than being empowered in the context of the internal market. This thesis will enquire the reasons that led to the development of this counter-culture. Why did it emerge? To what extent does this phenomenon affect the roles of private actors in the internal market? I will demonstrate that under the counter-culture private actors are responsibilized and transformed into ‘competent authorities’, i.e. alternative forms of regulatory authority, in the internal market. Private actors are placed into systems of shared responsibilities the relationships of which are coordinated by EU internal market law. In this regard, the concept of responsibility will serve as a tool to bridge the gap between the new positions EU internal market law allocates to private actors and the emerging legal consequences, i.e. allocation of obligations or tasks. The legal contexts of EU free movement law, EU discrimination law, EU food safety law and EU data protection law will serve as case studies against which the construed conceptual framework will be tested. Under the counter-culture the new individualism is no longer only about the exercise of self-interests. Rather, this form of the new individualism comes with a requirement to give account to the interests of other actors within the internal market.

"Açık Kambiyo Senetleri" başlıklı bu çalışmada, 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu'nun 680. maddesinde yer alan düzenlemeden hareketle Türk hukukunda açık kambiyo senetleri; yani açık bono, açık poliçe ve açık çek ele alınmıştır. Açık kambiyo senetleri, senedi verenin, ileride unsurları tamamlanarak geçerli bir kambiyo senedi şeklinde ortaya çıkmak üzere, karşı tarafa bir doldurma yetkisi ile birlikte vermiş olduğu, imza dışındaki unsurlarının tamamı ya da bir kısmı boş bırakılmış olan, unsurları tam kambiyo senetlerinin ön aşaması niteliğindeki senetlerdir. Açık kambiyo senetlerinde imza sahibi, senedin anlaşmaya aykırı doldurulması rizikosunu üstlenmektedir. Bu nedenle ortaya çıkan hukuki görünüşe güvenerek senedi devralan kötüniyeti veya ağır kusuru bulunmayan hamil iktisabında korunur. TTK'nın 680. maddesinde açık kambiyo senetleri yalnız def'i yönünden ele alınmıştır. Oysa konuya ilişkin olarak üzerinde durulması meseleler bundan ibaret değildir. Bu nedenle üç ana bölümden oluşan bu çalışmanın birinci bölümünde açık kambiyo senetlerine ilişkin genel açıklamalara; ikinci bölümünde açık kambiyo senetlerinde doldurma hakkı, devri ve sona ermesine; üçüncü bölümünde ise açık kambiyo senetlerinin anlaşmaya aykırı doldurulmasının taraflar arası ilişkilerde ileri sürülmesi, ispatı ve cezai sonuçları konularına yer verilmiştir. In this study titled "The Blank Bills of Exchange", starting from Regulation in Article 680 of the Turkish Commercial Code no 6102, The Blank Bills of Exchanges; namely, blank bills, blank notes, and the blank cheques have been evaluated in Turkish law. The Blank Bills of Exchange are the preliminary notes of the full bill of exchange that the singer gave it to the opposing party with a filling entitlement to be revealed in the form of a valid bill of exchange in the future; all or some of the elements outside the signature are left blank. In the Blank Bills of Exchange, the owner of the signature undertakes the risk of filling the notes contrary to the agreement. For this reason, the person takes over the bill of exchange relying on the revealed legal appearance is protected as holder without bad faith or gross negligence. In the 680th article of the Turkish Commercial Code, the blank bills of exchange are dealt with only in terms of exceptions. However, this is not the only issue to focus on. For this reason, in the first part of this study, which consists of three main parts, general explanations about the Blank Bills of Exchange are given while the right to fill, turnover and termination in exchange notes are discussed in the second part. In the last chapter, the submission, prove and criminal consequences of the fulfilment of the Blank Bills of Exchange contrary to the agreement at the inter-party relations are introduced.

The study, entitled “Identification of the parties to the employment relationship: an appraisal of teleological interpretation of statutes”, is a legal-interdisciplinary doctrinal investigation situated within the fields of labour law and the interpretation of statutes. It concerns itself with the proper interpretation of labour legislation in general and the interpretive question as to who should be party to the employment relationship in particular, within the context of the advent of constitutionalism and the proliferation of and the increase in the importance of labour legislation. In law, meaning-generation is a function of statutory interpretation and every application of a text to particular circumstances entails interpretation. The protection extended by labour legislation is only extended to those persons who are defined as “employees”. The study describes the teleological model of statutory interpretation, which aims to give effect to the purpose of a legislative provision in light of constitutional values. The study explores the five elements of (teleological) interpretation that should be considered when interpreting concepts such as “employee”: the text, the context, the telos (or values), the history and the comparative dimension. The chief findings of the study includes: that legislation has become an indispensable source of contemporary labour law; that the courts have adopted a teleological approach to the interpretation of statutes; that the courts have, in interpreting the term “employee”, adopted a teleological approach to the interpretation of statutes; and that the interpretations advanced by the courts have not had the profound effect envisaged by the Constitution on the transformation of society.

The debate on business and human rights attracts the interest of many parties, and regularly makes the headlines. On 19 January 2017 De Morgen, for instance, ran the following headline: “These banks do business with companies that violate human rights and nature”. The discourse suggests that few question that business enterprises should respect human rights. The legal meaning and consequences of associating 'business' with 'human rights' remain contentious, however. By clarifying the existing legal framework this thesis seeks to rationalize the debate. Special attention is paid to enforcing the responsibility of business enterprises for human rights through domestic judicial remedies. The analysis is concretised through a case study on adverse human rights impacts of environmental degradation caused by mining in South Africa. Based on the findings of the study, the thesis reflects on how the international legal framework on business and human rights should be developed further.

Birlikte satma hakkı ve birlikte satışa zorlama hakkı pay sahipleri sözleşmesinde yer alan iki haktır. Bu hakların kaynağı Amerikan hukukudur. Bu haklar ülkemizde anonim şirket esas sözleşmelerinde sıklıkla yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada Amerikan hukukundan gelen bu haklar Türk Ticaret Hukuku kuralları açısından incelenmiştir. İnceleme yöntemi ilk olarak hakların tanıtılması ikinci olarak ortaya çıkardığı hukukî ilişkinin niteliğinin tespiti ve son olarak hukukumuza ait yasal düzenlemeler karşısında ne derece geçerli kabul edilebileceğinin belirlenmesi şeklindedir. Çalışmada, hakların karşılaştırmalı hukuktaki yeri incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda yabancı mahkeme kararları ve yasal düzenlemeler hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Akabinde hakların hukukî niteliği ve haklardan doğan borçlar incelenmiştir. Son olarak hakların anonim ve limited şirket sözleşmelerinde yer alması durumunda meydana gelebilecek hukukî sorunlar tartışılmıştır. Bu kapsamda hakların yarattığı pay devir sınırlandırmasının anonim şirketler hukukunda yer alan kurallar karşısındaki durumu incelenmiştir. Ayrıca hakların limited şirketlerde pay devri ile ilgili düzenlemeler açısından geçerliliği tartışılmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Birlikte Satma Hakkı, Birlikte Satışa Zorlama Hakkı, Pay Devrinin Sınırlandırılması, Pay Sahipleri Sözleşmesi, Anonim Şirket Esas Sözleşmesi. Tag along right and drag along right are two rights in shareholders' agreement. The source of these rights is American Law. These rights are frequently found in the articles of association of the joint stock company in our country. In this study, these rights coming from American law were examined in the terms of Turkish Commercial Law. The examination method is firstly the identification of the rights, secondly the determination of the nature of the legal relationship that emerges from the rights and finally the determination of the extent to which they can be regarded as valid under the legal regulations of our law. In the study, the position of the rights in comparative law were examined. In this context, information is given about the foreign court decisions and legal regulations. Then the legal nature of the rights and the obligations arising from the rights were examined. Finally, the legal issues that may arise in case of the rights are included in joint stock company and limited company contracts are discussed. In this context, the situation of the share transfer restrictions created by the rights against the rules in the corporation law has been examined. Furthermore, the validity of the rights in terms of the share transfer regulations in limited companies has been discussed. Keywords: Tag Along Right, Drag Along Right, Share Transfer Restriction, Shareholders' Agreement, Article Of Association.

تم تناول الحماية القضائية للعلامة التجارية كدراسة مقارنة في بابين، تناولت في الباب الأول الحماية الموضوعية للعلامة التجارية، حيث وقفت فيه على الإطار القانوني العام لحماية العلامة التجارية في الفصل الأول، وذلك بالقيام بتعريف العلامة التجارية في مبحث أول، كما تم تحديد الشروط الموضوعية والشكلية اللازم توافرها لصحة العلامة التجارية في مبحث ثاني، ثم عرجت في الفصل الثاني على مضمون حماية العلامة التجارية حيث حاولت فيه إعطاء صورة متكاملة عن أهمية التدخل التشريعي في حماية العلامة التجارية في مبحث أول، أما المبحث الثاني فقد خصصته لدور الاتفاقيات الدولية في تحقيق الحماية للعلامة التجارية. أما الباب الثاني من هذه الدراسة فقد تناولت فيه الحماية الإجرائية للعلامة التجارية، بالوقوف على الحماية المدنية للعلامة التجارية في الفصل الأول ، والذي وضحت فيه الأساس القانوني لدعوى المنافسة غير المشروعة في المبحث الأول، أما المبحث الثاني فقد حددت فيه الشروط الواجب توافرها لقيام لدعوى المنافسة غير المشروعة، وكيفية مباشرة دعوى المنافسة غير المشروعة في المبحث الثالث، كما بينت في الفصل الثاني من هذا الباب الحماية الجنائية للعلامة التجارية، بتحديد نطاق الحماية الجزائية للعلامة التجارية في المبحث الأول، ثم عرجت على الجرائم الواقعة على العلامة التجارية في المبحث الثاني، أما المبحث الثالث فقد ناقشت فيه موضوع القواعد الإجرائية الخاصة بالدعوى الناشئة عن جرائم التعدي على العلامة التجارية، وخلصت من خلال هذه الدراسة إلى عدد من النتائج والتوصيات.

Le droit des investissements internationaux est largement présenté au travers de la jurisprudence arbitrale, notamment celle du CIRDI. Une telle approche a paru insuffisante. En effet, dans l'examen des questions touchant le droit des investissements internationaux, la jurisprudence de la CIJ et de sa devancière semble être un passage obligé à certains égards. S'agissant de règles primaires, c’est dans la jurisprudence de la Cour qu’ont émergé et pris forme certaines règles substantielles relatives aux investissements internationaux, et dont la désuétude est loin d'être établie par l'avènement du CIRDI. Par ailleurs, le rôle général de la Cour dans le fonctionnement de l'ordre juridique international à travers les règles juridictionnelles, procédurales, d’interprétation ou encore de responsabilité internationale, est indéniable. Or, certaines de ces règles se présentent comme des chapitres incontournables du droit des investissements internationaux. Ce sont là autant de raisons qui ont conduit à entreprendre une étude sur Le droit des investissements internationaux vu par la CIJ et le CIRDI en l’abordant au travers de la question de savoir si les tribunaux CIRDI puisent dans l’héritage de la Cour sur les problématiques juridiques relatives aux investissements internationaux ou s’en départissent. La confrontation des jurisprudences de la Cour et des tribunaux CIRDI a permis de conclure que le droit des investissements internationaux vu par la CIJ n’est que partiellement le droit des investissements internationaux vu par les tribunaux CIRDI. Globalement, sur une problématique donnée, en même temps que certaines solutions retenues par la jurisprudence des tribunaux CIRDI dénotent un emprunt aux règles et principes posés par la Cour, d’autres s’en départissent, qu'il s'agisse des règles primaires en la matière, ou bien des règles secondaires du droit international dans leur déclinaison dans le cadre du droit des investissements internationaux. Parce qu’elle livre, entre autres, une vue d’ensemble de la jurisprudence de la Cour de la Haye en matière d’investissements internationaux – démarche inédite –, la thèse se présente comme une piste pour les arbitres sur le chemin de l’émergence d’une jurisprudence arbitrale cohérente en droit des investissements internationaux.

Depuis un certain nombre d’années, les Etats membres de l’UEMOA se sont lancés dans un vaste projet de libéralisation économique suivi d’une ambition d’intégration économique, rendant ainsi difficile les projets législatifs consuméristes nationaux. A ce titre, nous nous posons la question de savoir, si les ambitions de cette intégration économique prennent en compte l’intérêt des consommateurs et si elles ne se heurtent pas au besoin d’une protection efficace des consommateurs sur le marché commun. Comment concilier ce libéralisme économique avec une protection efficace des consommateurs au sein du marché commun ? Autrement-dit, une divergence entre les différentes dispositions des Etats membres ne serait-elle pas dommageable aux consommateurs ? Enfin, peut-on parler d’un véritable ordre juridique consumériste ouest-africain? Nous tentons de démontrer à travers cette étude qu'il y a un acquis de protection communautaire des consommateurs, mais que celle-ci est sectorielle. Toutefois, les domaines laissés vacants par le droit communautaire sont implicitement régis par les différentes dispositions nationales embryonnaires et plus ou moins identiques, d'où le risque d'insécurité juridique et la nécessité du projet OHADA sur le droit des contrats comme une perspective dans le cadre de la protection des consommateurs de l'UEMOA au sein du marché commun.

Dans son rapport intitulé « Le travail décent », le Directeur Général du BIT évoque le travail décent en ces termes : « L'objectif premier de l'OIT aujourd'hui est de promouvoir les possibilités pour les femmes et les hommes d'obtenir un travail décent ». Le travail décent constitue un concept dont les origines qui remontent loin dans l'histoire et déjà perceptibles lors de la création de l'OIT, se sont précisées avec la Déclaration Philadelphie. Le contexte de la mondialisation avec ses effets sur la réduction du niveau de protection des travailleurs, constitue la source de nouveaux défis justifiant le recours au concept du travail décent. Le travail décent est, au-delà d'une mission renouvelée, l'une de ces stratégies mises en œuvre par l'OIT dans le but de reconquérir sa notoriété et renforcer sa légitimité face aux priorités économiques qui semblent réduire à minima les exigences sociales. Il est perçu, à l'instar du développement durable, comme l'un de ces grands concepts dont la complexité et l'instabilité dans le contenu donnent à penser autant qu'elles égarent. Au regard du droit du travail, l'analyse conceptuelle du travail décent à travers des principes à fort ancrage juridique telles que la dignité et la liberté, laisse découvrir son double caractère juridique et universel, ainsi qu'un noyau de droits irréductibles reconnus aux travailleurs et susceptibles d'être mis en œuvre dans tous les pays. Les instruments juridiques mobilisables à cet effet, sont de nature et d'efficacité variables mais sont tous orientés vers la reconnaissance du droit au travail décent.

Responsabilité civile et procédures collectives, sont des termes aux effets a priori inconciliables. Pourtant, la politique juridique de la procédure collective utilise, de manière à la fois cohérente et opportuniste, la responsabilité civile, qui est alors mise au service de ses finalités et de son régime et dont l’usage se révèle fluctuant et opportuniste. Le résultat ? La mutation de la responsabilité civile. En effet, d’une part l’efficacité juridique du droit des procédures collectives fait évoluer sa fonction. Fondée sur un équilibre des intérêts, elle laprotège. D’autre part, elle fait évoluer le régime de la responsabilité civile, que se soit ses conditions de fond ou de forme. Mais pourquoi circonscrire la protection de l’intérêt à la procédure collective ? Ne peut-on pas voir dans cette fonction la direction de l’évolution de la responsabilité civile en droit des affaires ? = Civil liability and collective procedures, are terms in the effects a priori irreconcilable. Nevertheless, the legal politics of the collective procedure uses, so as to coherent and opportunist time, the civil liability, which is then put in the service of its purposes and of his regime and the use of which shows itself fluctuating and opportunist. The profit ? The mutation of the civil liability. Indeed, on one hand the legal efficiency of the law of the collective procedures makes its function evolve. Established on a balance of the interests, itprotects her. On the other hand, it develops the regime of the civil liability, that is his conditions of bottom or shape. But why to confine the protection of the interest in the collective procedure? Cannot we see in this function, the direction of the evolution of the civil liability in business law?

La valeur vénale et locative se définit en droit, en jurisprudence et en doctrine, mais elle se concrétise en économie…C’est toute l’ambiguïté et la différence entre une valeur et un prix.A l’inverse de l’agent immobilier qui se focalise sur le prix du bien qu’il envisage de vendre, l’expert se concentre sur l’objectivation juridique d’une valeur qu’il va déterminer en s’appuyant sur la comparaison des prix dont il va avoir connaissance.Depuis plus d’une dizaine d’années, j’ai essayé à travers mes différentes recherches, enseignements et publications d’éclaircir les problématiques juridiques, économiques, techniques et maintenant écologiques, liées à la valeur vénale ou locative.J’ai pu publier une cinquantaine de contributions sur des sujets transversaux.Mon projet de thèse sur travaux envisage d’effectuer la synthèse de ces travaux en approfondissant et en complétant certains sujets, en explorant les nouvelles problématiques environnementales et en examinant les possibilités de transposition dans notre droit interne des nouvelles directives européennes liés à l’évaluation immobilière. = Market and rental value is defined in law, in jurisprudence and in doctrine, but is put into concrete form in economics.There in lies the ambiguity of the difference between value and price.Unlike the estate-agent, who focuses on the price of the property he plans to sell, the real estate valuer concentrates on the juridical objectification of the value, which he will determine by comparing the prices which he has knowledge of. For over ten years I have been trying, through my various research projects, teaching and publications, to throw some light on the juridical, economic, technical and now environmental issues linked to market and rental value.I have published some fifty papers on cross-discipline subjects.In my thesis project I plan to synthesize this work, going more deeply into certain subjects and adding to them, exploring the new environmental issues and examining the possible ways in which the new European directives concerning real-estate appraisal could be transposed into our domestic law.

Le régime de la responsabilité pénale du dirigeant décontenance par l’originalité des mécanismes juridiquespermettant sa mise en oeuvre. Cette responsabilité révèle des insuffisances tant au niveau de l’incriminationque de la répression. Alors que la première est affectée par de graves déficiences conceptuelles etfonctionnelles, la deuxième se démarque par une prééminence doublement perceptible. Cette dernière semanifeste, d’une part, par l’élargissement sans cesse croissant de la sphère de la répression, ainsi que par lamultiplication des acteurs potentiellement responsables. L’excès répressif s’illustre, d’autre part, par la placeréduite réservée à l’impunité. Il apparaît, en effet, que le dirigeant ne peut que très exceptionnellementinvoquer utilement les causes objectives et subjectives d’irresponsabilité de droit commun, ces dernièresétant généralement, soit inadaptées, soit dotées d’un impact limité à son égard. La restriction de l’impunitésemble par ailleurs corroborée par la quasi-imprescriptibilité de certaines infractions le visant. Cette politiquecriminelle fondamentalement axée sur la répression se révèle inefficace, voire contre-productive. Aussi, uneanalyse critique de la responsabilité pénale du dirigeant permet-elle d’en relever les insuffisances et d’ensouligner les contradictions. Elle conduit à s’interroger sur l’opportunité de la répression en droit pénal desaffaires et à redéfinir sur des bases plus cohérentes les critères devant gouverner le recours à la sanctionpénale à l’égard du dirigeant. Une telle redéfinition permet d’opérer un redéploiement de la répression versdes alternatives civiles à finalité répressive ou régulatrice

Le principe de réparation intégrale du préjudice corporel démontre les limites de son application actuelle. Alors que notre système juridique paraît enclin à toutes les sollicitudes envers la victime, celui-ci manque largement à son but : la multiplicité des régimes d'indemnisation, l'hétérogénéité des méthodes d'évaluation et l'insuffisante fermeté des concepts mis en oeuvre apparaissent comme autant de facteurs de disparités entre les victimes. À l'appui d'une étude ouverte au droit international, aux solutions doctrinales ainsi qu'à une appréhension ajustée de la notion de victime; cette thèse oeuvre pour une autonomisation du droit du dommage corporel respectant les valeurs d'égalité, d'humanité et de justice de l'indemnisation propres au principe de réparation intégrale du préjudice corporel.

La condition, la forme et la justification théorique des exceptions sont aujourd’hui au coeur du débat sur l’avenir du droit d’auteur. L’objectif primaire de ces normes particulières est de garantir la cohérence du droit d’auteur. Et pourtant les chercheurs s’accordent sur la nécessité de leur reconceptualisation.Cette thèse a pour but de découvrir la signification, les origines et les conséquences de la crise qu’engendre le ressentiment à l’égard des exceptions aux droits de l’auteur dans leur forme actuelle. Tenant compte d’une certaine fragilité axiologique de la matière, elle essaie d’appréhender les phénomènes étudiés selon une posture épistémologique neutre. À cet égard, la théorie des paradigmes scientifiques lui offre un cadre d’analyse scindé en deux. La reconstruction de l’état normal et voulu des principes élaborés par la tradition française du droit d’auteur en matière des exceptions permet de repérer les signes de leur dépassement par la réalité juridique mouvante.De cette analyse résulte d’abord le modèle d’une exception cohérente, internalisé par le droit d’auteur objectif qui a complètement résolu le conflit entre la création et la consommation des oeuvres de l’esprit. Cette image est ensuite confrontée à des forces destructrices ayant leur origine dans des normes extérieures au droit d’auteur objectif. Celles-ci se substituent aux exceptions prévues par le droit d’auteur et remettent en question l’idée de son autarcie.L’idylle du droit d’auteur autosuffisant n’est toutefois pas une utopie. Entre l’état normal et la maladie des exceptions se noue un lien dialectique. Vus ensemble, ces deux éléments s’éclairent réciproquement, de sorte que la crise qui les résume devient un processus réversible.
