L’assurance de responsabilité civile des entreprises a pour but de garantir l’entreprise contre les conséquences pécuniaires de sa responsabilité civile. Elle constitue en quelque sorte pour l’entreprise une protection contre les risques de poursuites en ce qu’elle oblige l’assureur, dans les limites de l’assurance, à prendre fait et cause pour l’assuré dans toute poursuite dirigée contre lui pour un dommage causé à un tiers dont il est imputable, et à payer au tiers, en lieu en place de l’entreprise assurée, l’indemnité accordée à ce tiers en réparation du préjudice qui lui a été causé par celle-ci. Il s’agit d’un outil de gestion des risques commerciaux indispensable dans une société où les rapports civils entre les entreprises et les personnes morales ou physiques avec qui elle entre en relation sont de plus en plus complexes et où les risques de responsabilité des entreprises se multiplient et menacent constamment de mettre en péril son patrimoine. L’usage de l’assurance de responsabilité civile des entreprises est à ce point généralisé qu’il serait actuellement impensable pour une entreprise, même minimalement organisée, de ne pas y souscrire. Mais cette assurance n’est pas une panacée. Nombre de risques de responsabilité sont clairement exclus de sa garantie en raison de leur caractère non assurable ou encore parce que l’assureur a choisi conventionnellement d’en laisser la charge à l’assuré. C’est le cas, spécialement, de certains risques de responsabilité bien spécifiques généralement appelés « risques d’affaires ». Il existe un principe selon lequel ces risques ne peuvent faire l’objet de l’assurance de responsabilité civile des entreprises, soit parce que leur fréquence est trop élevée ou parce qu’ils sont trop étendus pour être transférés à la mutualité, soit parce qu’ils sont la contrepartie de l’espérance de profit de l’entreprise et que leur prise en charge par l’assurance aurait pour effet de dénaturer le contrat, transformant celui-ci en garantie d’exécution des obligations contractuelles de l’assuré. Les fondements de cette règle d’exclusion sont toutefois contestables et les limites des risques que l’on dit exclus sont mal définies, rendant l’étendue de la garantie à leur égard très incertaine. La présente étude se veut une contribution à l’étude de l’étendue de la garantie des risques de responsabilité de l’entreprise dans l’assurance de responsabilité civile des entreprises. Plus précisément, elle a pour objet de circonscrire les risques d’entreprise pris en charge par l’assurance et de déterminer quels sont les risques dits d’« affaires » qui sont exclus de la garantie offerte par cette forme d’assurance.

Ücret hakkı acentenin en temel hakkı olup Türk Ticaret Kanunu'nun 113 ila 116. maddeleri arasında düzenlenmiştir. Hangi işlemlerin acenteye ücret hakkı kazandıracağı 113. maddede yer almaktadır. Bu hükme göre acente doğrudan kendi katkısıyla kurulan işlemler sebebiyle ücrete hak kazanabileceği gibi, müvekkile daha önce kazandırdığı müşterilerle sonradan kurulan aynı nitelikteki işlemler sebebiyle de ücrete hak kazanabileceği ifade edilmiştir. Söz konusu hükme göre ayrıca acente, kendisine belirli bir bölge veya müşteri çevresi bırakıldığı takdirde, bu bölgede veya müşteri çevresiyle kendi katkısı olmadan kurulan işlemler sebebiyle de ücrete hak kazanabilecektir. Yine aynı hükme göre acente, bazı şartların varlığı halinde acentelik sözleşmesinin bitiminden sonra kurulan işlemler sebebiyle de ücrete hak kazanmaktadır. Acentenin ücrete hak kazanabilmesi için Türk Ticaret Kanunu m. 113'e göre ücrete hak kazandıran bir işlemin varlığına ek olarak, m. 114'te ifade edildiği üzere kurulan işlemin ifası da gerekir. İşlemin ifasıyla doğan ücret hakkı, doğumu tarihinden itibaren en geç üç ay içinde ve her halde sözleşmenin sona erdiği tarihte muaccel olur (m. 116). Acentenin, ücret istemi, muacceliyeti ve hesaplanması bakımından önemli olan bütün konular hakkında kontrol hakkı bulunmaktadır. Bu hak, onun bilgi alma, müvekkilin defter kayıtlarının suretlerinin gönderilmesini talep ve inceleme hakkı olmak üzere üç haktan oluşmaktadır. Çalışmamızın birinci bölümünde Türk ve karşılaştırmalı hukukta konunun düzenlenişi ile kavramsal çerçeve üzerinde durulacak; ikinci bölümünde ücrete hak kazanılmasının şartları ele alındıktan sonra üçüncü bölümünde ücretin belirlenmesi, hesaplanması ile ödenmesi ve ücrete ilişkin kontrol hakkı açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır. The right of remuneration, which regulated between the Articles 113 to 116 of the Turkish Commercial Code, is the most fundamental right of commercial agent. According to Article 113, it is stated that the commercial agent has the right of remuneration due to the transactions established by its own contribution. Commercial agent has the right of remuneration also for same quality of transactions, which established later with the former customer. According to same Article, the commercial agent may also be entitled to remuneration, whether it is left in a certain area or customer environment, due to the transactions established in this area or the customer environment even without its own contribution. It is pointed in the same Article that, commercial agent also has the right of remuneration due to transactions established after the end of the commercial agency contract in the presence of certain conditions. As indicated in the Article 114, it is also necessary to perform the transaction, which gives the commercial agent the right of remuneration. The remuneration arising from the performance of the transaction shall be due within three months at the latest from the date of birth and in any circumstances at the date on which the contract is concluded (Article 116). The commercial agent has the right to control all matters that are important in terms of remuneration, accural and calculation. That right includes, the right to demand information, copies of the commercial book records of the client and examination. In the first part of our work we will focus on the regulations and conceptual framework of Turkish and comparative law. After considering the conditions of the acquisition of the remuneration in the second part, it is aimed to explain the determination and the calculation of the remuneration, payment and the control right of commercial agent about the right of remuneration in the final section.

Defective products cause harm to persons and property on a daily basis. Product Liability law has accordingly evolved as a specialised area of the law of delict which seeks to prevent product accidents from happening and provides compensation in the event that defective products nevertheless reach the consumer market. Accordingly product liability regimes generally have both ex ante components such as product standards, recall mechanisms and liability provisions which are aimed at deterrence and risk-spreading as well as provisions that are applied ex post to provide redress and compensation. Designing an appropriate legal framework to underpin a product liability regime is a daunting task that involves achieving of an appropriate balance between the interests of various parties inter alia those of consumers, suppliers and the broader community. In recent decades many countries have migrated from a fault-based product liability regime to a regime which purportedly imposes strict liability on the whole supply chain. This bold move in modern product liability was pioneered in the United States who has since returned to fault-based liability for design and warning defects whilst returning strict liability in respect of manufacturing defects. After many years South Africa has joined the group of countries that applies strict liability to all defects regardless of their type. Notably the product liability regime introduced into South African law by means of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (“CPA”) resembles the main features of the EU Product Liability Directive 85/374/EEC. The EU Model has also been taken over by Australia when they transitioned to a purportedly strict product regime in 1992. During this process the thesis also considers whether, by adopting the European model, South Africa has taken over a model which has been criticised by some American authors as outdated and based on 1965 strict product liability rhetoric as contained in section 402A of the Restatement (Second) of Torts which approach has since been discarded in the US in favour of the hybrid approach contained in the US Restatement (Third): Product Liability. This thesis focuses on product liability ex delicto. Its main aim is to interrogate and evaluate the product liability provisions contained in section 61 of the CPA, specifically with regard to the pivotal concept of defect and the statutory defences the Act has introduced. It details South Africa’s journey from the fault-based common law of product liability to the purportedly strict regime espoused by the CPA, which regimes operate parallel to each other. This is done to facilitate an understanding of the differences between the two regimes and specifically to aid interpretation and application of the product liability provisions in the CPA that deal with defectiveness and the new statutory defences. In order to obtain further guidance on how the concept of “defect” and the statutory defences in the CPA should, or could, be interpreted and applied the thesis initially considers the general foundational principles underlying product liability law and how this area of law has evolved in the United States, being the origin of modern product liability law. However, given that the South African regime of “strict” product liability ex delicto has its roots in the EU Directive and resembles some of the adapted features of the Australian product liability regime contained in the comprehensive Australian Consumer Law, the main comparative focus is on these two jurisdictions.

Ex aequo et bono is a long-lived legal concept that enables arbitrators to decide a dispute based on notions of fairness instead of a strict application of legal norms. Jurists generally agree that arbitrators authorised to decide commercial disputes ex aequo et bono can more easily tailor arbitral procedure to achieve an efficient and fair dispute resolution process. They therefore agree that ex aequo et bono arbitration maximises procedural flexibility. However, this flexibility is now perceived more as a negative rather than a positive, despite the potential of ex aequo et bono to mitigate growing concerns about the ‘over-judicialisation’ of arbitration – the increasing formalisation and inefficiency of arbitral procedure. Commentators usually assert that ex aequo et bono introduces excessive unpredictability into arbitration and encourages arbitrators to abuse their discretion. As a result, ex aequo et bono has remained unpopular to this day. This thesis challenges this overly negative conception of ex aequo et bono. It does so particularly under the UNCITRAL Model Law, as an important foundation stone of the global commercial arbitration regime. The thesis investigates significant divergence in the understanding of ex aequo et bono across state jurisdictions and international arbitration institutions. It also analyses the core trends in actual legal practice and in thinking about the principle. The thesis thereby demonstrates that the Model Law requires arbitrators to ensure that their arbitral awards are based on three objective elements: contract terms, trade usages, and mandatory rules of law. Accordingly, while the Model Law allows arbitrators deciding ex aequo et bono to invoke their subjective conceptions of fairness as the ultimate gap-filler when discerning the intention of the parties, the scope for doing so is not unduly expansive. Further, the refinement of various legal theories underpinning international commercial arbitration has enabled parties to determine and challenge more readily the arbitrators’ subjective ideas of fairness. The thesis therefore concludes that the flexibility inherent in ex aequo et bono needs to be both re-evaluated and rejuvenated. It urges the international arbitration community to adopt a revitalised conception of ex aequo et bono to counter-balance the encroaching ‘over-judicialisation’ of arbitration.

As a company distribution is a means by which wealth is transferred, it is a fertile ground for tax law reform to broaden the tax base and protect South Africa against base erosion and profit shifting. The South African government has identified the corporate tax structure, and many specific corporate tax rules, as areas in South African law in need of reform, and through which the policy objectives of stimulating foreign direct investment, promoting economic growth, and creating more employment opportunities can be achieved. This study involves an analysis on two levels: the corporate tax structure; and the specific tax legislation governing company distributions in South Africa. These aspects are contrasted with comparable rules in Australia and Canada. The study also evaluates the extent to which these laws conform to the normative values of equity, efficiency, certainty, and transparency, with the aim of suggesting improvements to promote South Africa’s current policy objectives. There are a variety of design models for a corporate tax structure. In the context of distributions, the ideal design should resolve whether tax should be paid on profit earned by a company, and also be levied on a second level, on distributions made to the company’s shareholders. Certain jurisdictions merge these two levels of tax to create a single taxable event which avoids the economic double taxation of income. There is, however, no dominant or universal model and several solutions can be mooted. Australia follows an imputation system which taxes corporate income at the first level of tax but grants a tax credit to shareholders on distribution, which means this income is taxed only once. Canada applies a hybrid integration system which also combines the two levels of tax and grants a tax credit to certain individual shareholders on distribution. However, the principles applied in these two models differ. The South African corporate tax structure is a hybrid, dual-rate system in terms of which different rates apply to corporate income and distributions to shareholders. All three systems offer relief for taxpayers which partially eliminates double taxation, with Australia having eliminated it fully for resident shareholders. In broad terms, a company distribution can be made by a company to its shareholders through either a return on capital or a return of capital. The policy approach adopted by the South African government is that all net accretions of wealth by the taxpayer should be taxable. Despite government’s intentions, there is a significant difference in the taxation rules applied to returns of an income nature (dividends and income), on the one hand, and returns of a capital nature (returns of capital, distribution of assets in specie) on the other. In addition, the net accretion of wealth is not always taxable on distribution to shareholders. In most instances the tax liability in respect of the return of capital is either deferred, or alternative rules are created which deviate from the principles and immediate tax liability that apply to returns on capital (dividends and income). In certain instances this deviation is justified, but in others it could lead to inequity between taxpayers and a narrowing of the tax base – both undesirable effects. A number of proposals are made to improve the law applicable to the taxation of company distributions as regards specific transactions. These are aimed, principally, at protecting the South African tax base against base erosion and profit shifting, and aligning South Africa’s tax law with international trends. The study finds that through the application of its hybrid dual-rate corporate tax system, South Africa has reduced economic double taxation to some extent, and that it is unnecessary for South Africa to integrate company- and shareholder-level tax. In addition, a variety of changes are suggested to improve the tax legislation applicable to specific company distributions, and to promote equity, certainty, and revenue collection. The South African tax legislation regulating company distributions is, in the main, fit for purpose, although there is room for improvement when it comes to simplicity, structure, and certainty.

In recent years, investor-State tribunals have often permitted shareholders' claims for reflective loss despite the well-established principle of no reflective loss applied consistently in domestic regimes and in other fields of international law. Investment tribunals have justified their decisions by relying on definitions of "investment" in investment agreements that often include "shares", while the no-reflective-loss principle is generally justified on the basis of policy considerations pertaining to the preservation of the efficiency of the adjudicatory process and to the protection of other stakeholders, such as creditors. Although these policy considerations militating for the prohibition of shareholders' claims for reflective loss also apply in investor-State arbitration, they are curable in that context and must be balanced with policy considerations specific to the field of international investment law that weigh in favor of such claims: the protection of foreign investors in order to promote trade and investment liberalization.

Upon the recognition that the implementation of the judicial management process would not be the success that it was anticipated it would be, it became apparent that there was need for a system of corporate rescue appropriate to the needs of a modern South African economy. The legislature then introduced a new business rescue regime when the Companies Act 71 of 20082 (the Act) came into effect in the South African law. This new Act remarkably changed corporate law. One of the central features of the Act is the introduction of business rescue- a procedure which provides for the rehabilitation of financially distressed companies in a manner that seeks to balance the rights of all stakeholders. These provisions are said to be the appropriate method for modern South African economy and they differently affect the stakeholders of a company. This thesis will be discussing the different rights given to affected persons in the new Companies Act and examine how the provisions of business rescue affect different stakeholders of the company and compare such effects with those experienced under judicial management, specifically in light of the improvements of the positions of the stakeholders. Although the new business rescue is a remarkable improvement from the old judicial management system, there is still room for improvement.

La réflexion sur la réglementation des contrats électroniques internationaux a pris, ces dernières années, une ampleur sans précédent.L’usage accru des communications électroniques à l’échelle internationale participe de manière remarquable à améliorer l’efficacité des activités économiques et sociales, à renforcer les relations entre Etats et à offrir de nouvelles possibilités de débouchés à des parties et à des marchés auparavant isolés.Pour cette raison, l’adoption de règles uniformes propres à éliminer les obstacles et valoriser les contrats électroniques internationaux serait susceptible de renforcer la certitude juridique et la prévisibilité commerciale des contrats internationaux et pourrait aider les États à avoir accès aux itinéraires commerciaux modernes.Le contrat électronique international constitue une nouvelle sphère qui mérite une recherche analytique afin de lui octroyer une sécurité juridique indispensable à son développement.Ce travail de recherche vise, donc, à élaborer une analyse systématique critique de la réglementation en vigueur qui régit le contrat électronique international et à examiner alors les textes existants aujourd’hui au regard des attentes de l’époque.Il vise à trouver les moyens juridiques susceptibles de garantir plus de sécurité au contrat électronique international.

Les difficultés qui peuvent être rencontrées par une entreprise sont multiformes et de degrés variables. Lorsqu’elles n’ont pas atteint le seuil suffisant permettant de déclencher une procédure collective, le chef d’entreprise rechigne bien souvent à dévoiler la véritable situation de leur entreprise. Les réticences à l’officialisation des difficultés tiennent parfois à des contingences socioculturelles tandis ou à des considérations d’ordre juridique. Le chef d’entreprise craint, le plus souvent, qu’il soit porté atteinte à l’exercice des prérogatives et responsabilités dont il a pratiquement seul la charge. L’apparition des difficultés peut déclencher divers contrôles de gestion de l’entreprise, mais aussi provoquer une réaction de méfiance, voire le retrait de certains partenaires financiers et/ou des collaborateurs importants. Les hésitations à révéler la situation préoccupante de l’entreprise s’expliquent aussi par le secret des affaires. En l’absence d’un véritable droit à l’information au profit des travailleurs, le chef d’entreprise peut juger de l’opportunité de donner ou non des informations. L’intérêt de l’entreprise est souvent invoqué pour justifier le silence, mais aussi pour canaliser la réaction des travailleurs. S’il s’exprime, le chef d’entreprise va pouvoir choisir les informations ainsi que le canal par lequel elles doivent parvenir aux destinataires.La procédure d’alerte en droit OHADA destinée à « réveiller les dirigeants insouciants de l’état périlleux de l’entreprise » mérite d’être saluée. L’employeur peut répondre aux difficultés par l’évitement des liens d’emplois, le développement des emplois précaires, l’externalisation et le recours aux travailleurs réellement ou non indépendants.La décision de restructuration prise par le dirigeant a des conséquences négatives sur la situation des salariés. L’article 11.8 du Code du travail qui impose le maintien des contrats de travail en cas de modification dans la situation juridique de l’employeur vise à en atténuer les conséquences. Il tente de préserver l’emploi et de permettre la poursuite de l’activité. Théoriquement, il s’agit d’une protection essentielle des salariés, mais en pratique, la "garantie d’emploi" est limitée à la seule période du changement de la situation juridique. L’ancien employeur et son successeur ne sont pas totalement privés de leur pouvoir de licencier, mais le transfert d’activité ne peut constituer en tant que tel un motif légitime de rupture des contrats. L’absence de solidarité légale entre les employeurs successifs rend difficile le paiement intégral des créances salariales.Pour autant, les travailleurs ne sont pas totalement abandonnés face à la décision patronale de procéder à des licenciements pour motif économique ; une procédure particulière doit être observée. Elle constitue l'ultime espoir de limitation de suppression d’emplois. Enfin, la liquidation de l’entreprise est synonyme de disparition des emplois. À cette occasion, la priorité est accordée aux mesures visant à sauver le capital. Le juge-commissaire qui a la responsabilité de se prononcer sur la réduction ou non du personnel décide presque toujours dans le sens souhaité par le dirigeant. Toutefois, lors de la formation du concordat, les travailleurs peuvent faire valoir des arguments permettant d’améliorer la consistance des mesures d’accompagnement de la suppression des emplois. La protection des intérêts des travailleurs en cas de difficultés de l’entreprise est insuffisante tant du point de vue des procédures que de l’indemnisation de la perte de l’emploi, ceci a notamment pour conséquence bien souvent d’attraire les salariés licenciés vers l’économie informelle pour assurer leur survie et celle de leur famille. The difficulties that can be encountered by a company are multiform and varying degrees. When they have not reached the sufficient threshold to trigger a collective procedure, the entrepreneur often refrains from revealing the true situation of their company. The reluctance to formalize difficulties sometimes arises from socio-cultural contingencies, or from legal considerations. In most cases, the entrepreneur fears that the exercise of the prerogatives and responsibilities of which he is almost solely responsible will be undermined. The emergence of difficulties can trigger various management controls of the company, but also provoke a reaction of mistrust, or even the withdrawal of some financial partners and / or important collaborators. The hesitation to reveal the worrying situation of the company is also explained by the secrecy of business. In the absence of a genuine right to information for the benefit of workers, the entrepreneur may decide whether or not to give information. The interest of the company is often invoked to justify the silence, but also to channel the reaction of the workers. If he speaks, the entrepreneur will be able to choose the information and the channel by which he must reach the recipients.The procedure of warning in OHADA law to "awaken the careless leaders of the perilous state of the enterprise" deserves to be welcomed. The employer can respond to difficulties by avoiding job bonds, developing precarious jobs, outsourcing and using genuine or non-independent workers.The restructuring decision taken by the manager has negative consequences for the employees' situation. Section 11.8 of the Labor Code, which requires the maintenance of employment contracts in the event of a change in the employer's legal position, is intended to mitigate the consequences. It tries to preserve employment and to allow the continuation of the activity. Theoretically, this is an essential protection for employees, but in practice the "employment guarantee" is limited to the only period of change in the legal situation. The former employer and his successor are not totally deprived of their power to dismiss, but the transfer of activity can not as such constitute a legitimate reason for breach of contract. The lack of legal solidarity between successive employers makes it difficult to pay full wage claims.However, the workers are not totally abandoned in the face of the employer's decision to make redundancies for economic reasons; a special procedure must be observed. It is the ultimate hope of limiting job losses. Finally, the liquidation of the company is synonymous with the disappearance of jobs. On this occasion, priority is given to measures to save capital. The judge-commissioner who is responsible for deciding on the reduction or not of the staff decides almost always in the direction desired by the officer. However, during the formation of the composition, the workers can put forward arguments to improve the consistency of measures accompanying the abolition of jobs. The protection of workers' interests in the event of company difficulties is insufficient both from the procedural point of view and from the compensation for loss of employment. This often leads to the attraction of redundant employees the informal economy to ensure their survival and that of their families.
