Описание: This volume considers the way in which the criminal law's current focus on individual rights may constitute an obstacle to ensuring fairness in criminal proceedings. Scholars from the disciplines of law, philosophy, and sociology challenge various normative assumptions underpinning our understanding of fairness in criminal proceedings. The increasingly cosmopolitan nature of criminal justice forcing different legal systems to interact with each other as they attempt to combat crime beyond national borders has accentuated the need for systems to seek legitimacy beyond their domestic traditions. Procedural fairness expressed in terms of the right to a fair trial in provisions such as Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) has emerged across Europe as the principal means of guaranteeing the legitimacy of criminal proceedings. The consequence of this is that criminal procedure doctrines are framed overwhelmingly in 'constitutional' terms-the protection of defence rights is necessary to restrict and legitimate the state's mandate to prosecute crime. Yet there are various problems with relying solely, or predominantly, on defence rights as a means of ensuring that proceedings are 'fair' or legitimate. These issues are rarely discussed in the academic literature. Subject: Criminal Law, Human Rights Law]

Описание: Throughout Europe, the exercise of justice rests on judicial independence by impartiality. In Reason and Fairness Ulrike M ig reveals the combination of ordinary judicial competences with procedural rationality, together with the complementarity of procedural and substantive justice, as the foundation for the 'rule of law' in court constitution, far earlier than the advent of liberal constitutionalism. The ECHR fair trial guarantee reads as the historically-grown consensus of the functional judicial independence. Both before historical and contemporary courts, justice is done and seen to be done by means of judgements, whose legal requirements combine the equation of 'fair' and 'legal' with that of 'legal' and 'rational.' This legal determinability of the judge's fair attitude amounts to the specific (rational) European idea of justice.

Описание: Numerous techniques have been employed to control highly unreasonable contracts, but large gaps remain, with the consequence that extremely unfair contracts have been enforced. This book advances arguments in favour of recognition of a general judicial power to relieve against highly unreasonable contracts.
