“…1521 Insgesamt werden die Parteien jedoch dazu angehalten, mit Beweismitteln offen umzugehen, anstatt diese aus prozesstaktischen Gründen geheim zu halten. 1522 In einem weiteren und nicht-technischen Sinn beschreibt der Begriff "disclosure" eine Reihe von Verfahren des Zivilprozessrechts mit welchen Informationen gewonnen, Ineffizienzen beseitigt und prozessuale Nachteile beseitigt werden sollen. Dazu gehören neben den pre-action protocols 1523 , den klagebestimmenden Schriftsätzen (statements of case) und den Zeugenaussagen (witness statements) 1524 auch Sachverständigengutachten (expert reports), 1525 die körperliche und geistige Untersuchung des Klägers (physical inspection und clinical investigation of state of mind) 1526 sowie Durchsuchungsanordnungen (search orders) 1527 und die Untersuchung von Gegenständen (inspection of property).…”

The author examines how a party in need of evidence can gain access to evidence and information that is in the hands of its opponent. In this respect, on the one hand, the claims to information, accounting and disclosure of evidence, which are already known in German law, are examined. On the other hand, it will be shown how in other legal systems access to such means of evidence is an elementary part of civil proceedings. On this basis, a concept is developed by means of which the legal practitioner can develop appropriate answers on a familiar basis to questions concerning the fulfillment of claims granting access to evidence.

“…57 Since the context influences interpretation, the rules on disclosure for intellectual property rights cases are likely to be construed in the light of the general rules of civil procedure, whereas the rules on competition law will be read in the light of substantive competition law. 58 The result is an atomisation of civil procedure law 54 E.g., Krans and Nylund (2020b), Andrews (2016), Galič (2016), Krans (2016), Piszcz (2016) and Nowak et al (2011). 55 Act on competition between undertakings and control with concentrations (Competition Act) Lov om konkurranse mellom foretak og kontroll med foretakssammenslutninger (konkurranseloven) 5 March 2004 no 12.…”

EU law has a tangible influence on the civil procedure law in the Nordic countries. This chapter explores how EU civil procedure law is practised and perceived in the Nordic countries. First, a brief account of the manifold levels and types of EU civil procedure law is given. The extent to which Nordic legal academics, judges and legal counsel make use of and discuss EU civil procedure law is analysed. A key question is whether lawyers appear to have a relatively superficial knowledge of EU law (i.e., they identify only central issues) or whether they have acquired profound skills (i.e., they are able to identify and address complex issues). Third, the transposition of EU hard law and case law into national civil procedure law in the Nordic countries is examined. The Nordic countries generally implement EU hard law diligently, at least formally. Nevertheless, it will be argued that the quality of implementation is sufficient and that case law-based rules are often inadequately transposed. Finally, the consequences of a superficial approach to EU civil procedure law in the Nordic countries are discussed.

Shareholder Revolt? The Statutory Derivative Action in China

This paper concerns one of the thorniest aspects in company law: the derivative action. As an exception to the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, individual shareholders can, acting on behalf of a company, sue the company's director if a wrong is done to the company. Private shareholders' action has been a major landscape in corporate governance in the US, but not in the UK. (Armour et al, 2007) Recently, the law on derivative action has experienced significant changes with the codification adopted in many jurisdictions. It is doubtful as to whether derivative actions are a useful mechanism to enhance investor protection.
