The principle of the maxim pendente lite nihil innovetur is incorporated in this section. The section provides that during the pendency of any suit in which right to immovable property is in question, neither party to the litigation can transfer or otherwise deal with such property so as to affect the rights of the opponent.

...the Transfer of Movables’ Foreword The purpose of this small compendium is to provide a basic understanding of some special features of Scandinavian1 private Law, in particular in the field of the transfer of movable property. It serves as a preparation to the lesson and should, therefore, preferably, be read beforehand. Since some of the Scandinavian features are completely unknown (and perhaps also considered strange) for an European lawyer, the aim is to discuss these chosen topics in a very simple manner. Suggested (introductory) literature for additional reading (if someone wants to learn more about it): Two articles from the volume Faber/Lurger, (eds.), Rules on the Transfer of Movables – A Candidate for European Harmonisation or National Reforms? (Sellier European Law Publishers 2008): • Martinson, C.: How Swedish Lawyers Think about “ownership” and “Transfer of Ownership” – Are we just peculiar or actually ahead? (pp 69-95) • Faber, W.: Skepticism about the Functional Approach from a Unitary Perspective (pp 97-122) The following article discusses the Scandinavian functional approach in contrast to a “unitary” approach, more from a philosophical angle. I can highly recommend reading it! 1 “Scandinavia” includes Finland, in this compendium. Martin Lilja, 2009 • Ross, A., Tû-Tû, Harvard Law Review, Vol. 70, No 5 (1957), pp 812-825 These reports are set to be published in the beginning of January: • Lilja, M., National Reports on the Transfer of Movables...

...Foreign Exchange Management Act The Foreign Exchange Regulation Act of 1973 (FERA) in India was repealed on 1 June, 2000. It wasreplaced by the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), which was passed in the winter sessionof Parliament in 1999. Enacted in 1973, in the backdrop of acute shortage of Foreign Exchange in thecountry, FERA had a controversial 27 year stint during which many bosses of the Indian Corporate worldfound themselves at the mercy of the Enforcement Directorate (E.D.). Any offense under FERA was acriminal offense liable to imprisonment, whereas FEMA seeks to make offenses relating to foreignexchange civil offenses.FEMA, which has replaced FERA, had become the need of the hour since FERA had becomeincompatible with the pro-liberalisation policies of the Government of India. FEMA has brought a newmanagement regime of Foreign Exchange consistent with the emerging frame work of the World Trade Organisation(WTO). It is another matter that enactment of FEMA also brought with itPrevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 which came into effect recently from 1 July, 2005 and the heat of which isyet to be felt as “Enforcement Directorate” would be invesitigating the cases under PMLA too.Unlike other laws where everything is permitted unless specifically prohibited, under FERA nothing was permitted unless specifically permitted . Hence the tenor and tone of the Act was very drastic. It providedfor imprisonment of even a very minor offence. Under FERA, a person was...

...governing the passing of ownership and risk under the Roman Dutch Law? Do they differ from the rules under English law? CHAPTER ONE Introduction: Ownership does not, as in English law, pass on account of a mere agreement between the parties. Delivery of the goods is required. South African law adheres to the “abstract system” of passing ownership whereby the mere intention of the parties to transfer and accept ownership is sufficient, independent of the existence or non-existence of a valid underlying causa. Ownership will pass even if an underlying causa (like a contract of sale) is lacking, putative or invalid. Among the essential requirements of ownership, in which we are specifically interested include the conditions that (i) the delivery must be made by the owner of the goods, or by an agent of his/her who is expressly or by implication authorized to alienate them. This rule follows from two complimentary principles: (a) that which belongs to a person cannot be transferred without his own act – “id quod nostrum est, sine facto nostro ad alium transferri non potest,” (b) no-one can transfer to another a greater right than he himself has – “nemo plus juris ad alium transferre potest ipse harberet.” (ii) The transferor must have the intention of passing the ownership of the thing, and not merely of some right in it less than ownership. The, ownership, consequently does not pass if the seller hands over the goods of another person with the intention of giving the other possession...
