In der Unternehmenspraxis stellt sich wiederholt die Frage, ob formbedürftige Rechtshandlungen deutscher Kapitalgesellschaften auch durch einen ausländischen Notar wirksam beurkundet werden können. Trotz höchstrichterlicher Entscheidungen herrscht darüber immer noch ein hohes Maß an Rechtsunsicherheit. Der Autor unterzieht die von dem 2. Zivilsenat des Bundesgerichtshofs aufgestellten Gleichwertigkeitskriterien einer umfassenden Analyse und zeigt das Erfordernis zusätzlicher Kriterien auf. Die Arbeit greift exemplarisch die Beurkundung durch die Urkundspersonen in vier Schweizer Kantonen heraus, welche Gegenstand zahlreicher Entscheidungen deutscher Gerichte gewesen sind. In rechtstatsächlicher Hinsicht werden die Motive für den ¿Beurkundungstourismus¿ im Lichte der Ergebnisse einer Befragungsstudie untersucht.

Wann fehlt das für jede Insolvenzantragstellung erforderliche rechtliche Interesse? Im einschlägigen Schrifttum wird dies anhand einer Zuordnung zu bestimmten Fallgruppen bestimmt, welchen das Rechtsschutzinteresse abgesprochen wird. Der Autor befasst sich mit den im Insolvenzschrifttum behandelten Fallgruppen und nimmt Prüfungen insbesondere im Lichte des Verfassungsrechts vor. Dabei gelangt der Autor u.a. zur Feststellung, dass sich der Vorwurf des fehlenden Rechtsschutzinteresses nicht stets als zutreffend erweist, sodass aus der gerichtlichen Zurückweisung betroffener Insolvenzanträge oftmals faktische Rechtsschutzsperren resultieren.

States today play a major role in implementing and enforcing environmental laws such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. A thirty year review of ESA identified state leadership in species conservation as a necessary element in better conserving the nation's imperiled species, yet the theoretical and practical reasons and applications of an enhanced state role are little understood and have not been subjected to any meaningful analysis.This book, for the first time, presents the legal and policy analysis for federalism considerations in implementing ESA. The book undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the economic rationale for federalism in ESA administration; compares administration of ESA to other major environmental statutes; reviews various tools under the existing Act to enhance state role in species conservation; evaluates major case studies to determine roles the state can play in species conservation and recovery; and concludes with policy recommendations to encourage greater state involvement in species conservation.
