Retrofitting existing buildings tackles energetic and emission related issues and one way to go about such projects is through the process of high-performance building certification, within w

Sammanfattning I Sverige råder fri bevisprövning med fri bevisvärdering. Det innebär att inga formella regler uppställs för hur ett bevis ska värderas eller vilka metoder som ska tillämpas av domstolen vid bevisvärderingen. Således är det teoretiskt möjligt att vid en ord mot ord situation finna det ställt utom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalade gjort som åklagaren gör gällande. Trots detta är det Summary In Sweden there is a free sifting of evidence with a free evaluation of evidence. This means that no formal rules are imposed on how evidence should be valued or the methods to be applied by the court at the evaluation of evidence. It is theoretically possible to find it beyond reasonable doubt that the accused made as the prosecutor alleges in a situation where one word stands against ano

Uppsatsen redogör för vilka sakrättsliga regleringar som blir verksamma och kan skydda en förvärvare eller panthavare mot överlåtaren och pantsättarens borgenärer när aktier i kupongbolag överlåts eller pantsätts men för vilka aktiebrev inte utgivits. Transaktioner med aktier i onoterade aktiebolag, vilka i de flesta fall utgörs av kupongbolag, blir allt vanligare och desto mer säll-synt är förekoThe paper describes the rules of property law that become effective and can protect an acquirer and pledgee against the transferor or pledger's creditors when shares in coupon companies are transferred or pledged but for which share certificates have not been issued.

Likt RB präglas LSF av normer som fördelar ansvaret mellan skiljenämnden och parterna.

Av paragrafens andra mening framgår att domstolen i dispositiva tvistemål inte får grunda sitt avgörande på en omständighet som inte åberopats av rätt part. Regeln har preciserats i räAs with the SCJP, the SAA is characterized by norms that allocate responsibility between the arbitral tribunal and the parties. A fundamental principle of civil procedure law is the principle of party disposition, primarily expressed in Chapter 17, Section 3 of the SCJP.
