The Relationship

I was delighted to receive David Wilkins's kind comments about my article. Wilkins provides a cogent and pithy analysis of the relationship between the public interest and elite corporate bars. In so doing, he uses my article as a springboard for proposing a thesis more ambitious and general than mine, involving several propositions concerning what he terms the “odd alliance” and “enduring relationship” between elite corporate and public interest lawyers. Wilkins states that this alliance is related to: (1) the similar class origins of these two kinds of lawyers; (2) public interest lawyers' tendency to target defendants who do not threaten the interests of corporate lawyers' powerful clients; and (3) the class interests of the elite bar in bolstering an image of the legal profession as devoted to the pursuit of justice. On all of these topics, I have many points of agreement with Wilkins. I do, however, perceive some differences, which I will very briefly sketch in the limited space allotted me here.

Scope Of Protection

This chapter examines the relationship between parody and an author’s moral rights. It first traces the evolution of the concept of moral rights as a means of providing protection not only of the authors’ personal interests but also the public interest before discussing the reasons why moral rights might conflict with parodies. It considers two competing theories underlying the protection of authorial interests—the ‘monist’ theory and the ‘dualist’ theory—and their implications for the parody exception. It also explains how jurisdictions differ in the nature and scope of protection afforded to moral rights, noting that the parody exception in ‘copyright’ law does not extend to moral rights. The chapter goes on to explore the author’s paternity and integrity rights as well as their right against false attribution. It shows that, in the case of parodies, an overlap exists between the regimes applied to moral and economic rights.

The Relationship

The article aims to explore the concept of territorial autonomy. The research assumption is that public interest is one of the fundamental determinants of territorial autonomy. Territorial autonomy has not been defined by law. It is a general and relative term, and thus difficult to define (if such an enterprise is possible at all). However, one thing is certain - the idea behind this term determines the law regulating the organizational and territorial form of the state, i.e. the distribution of power between the centre and the territory. Further attempts to specify territorial autonomy are met with serious difficulties. Therefore, it is crucial to look at it through the prism of public interest. The term public interest has a relative meaning, because it depends on the constantly changing social conditions. This variability is, among others, a result of the territorial context. The national interest and the territorial interest will be defined in different ways. It seems, therefore, that in order to explicate the notion territorial autonomy, one should refer to the concept of public interest and then take into account the relationship between the interest of a territory and the interest of the whole state. This will make it possible to outline territorial autonomy through the prism of its determinant – the public interest.

Contractual Agreement

A change in the perception of the relationship between the tax debtor and the tax creditor is necessary. The regulation of non-governing forms of operation of tax authorities is the normative basis that determines the change in the way in which tax matters are dealt with. This article reviews the proposal for consensual resolution of disputes contained in the draft of the Tax Ordinance of March 8, 2019. In this draft, a chapter entitled “Tax agreement” was included, which is devoted entirely to the structure of the tax agreement. However, to what extent does the outlined legal structure of the tax agreement make it possible to create a negotiating space between the taxpayer and the tax authority? The consensuality that the parties strive for should foster the pursuit of the private interest in the optimal dimension and, at the same time, should not affect the public interest. This is possible. In this way, the equality of parties manifests itself in the framework of consumer contracts where the entrepreneur’s party is stronger or on the level of repressive law for example, in criminal law — where, as indicated, the consensual way of settling the matter should not disqualify the aspiration to equalize the position of all participants of this consensus. The position defended by the present author is that obtaining a contractual agreement in tax law based on a consensus assuming the parity of parties does not exclude the possibility of pursuing a fiscal interest.Między konsensusem a „umową podatkową” przewidzianą projektem Ordynacji Podatkowej z dnia 4 czerwca 2019 rokuKonieczna jest zmiana postrzegania relacji dłużnik podatkowy–wierzyciel podatkowy. Regulacja niewładczych form działania organów podatkowych stanowi bowiem podstawę normatywną warunkującą przeprowadzenie zmiany sposobu załatwiania spraw podatkowych. W artykule analizie poddano propozycję konsensualnego rozwiązywania sporów podatkowych zawartą w projekcie Ordynacji podatkowej z 8 marca 2019 roku. W projekcie tym ujęto rozdział poświęcony w całości konstrukcji umowy podatkowej. Na ile jednak zarysowana konstrukcja prawna umowy podatkowej umożliwia zaistnienie przestrzeni negocjacyjnej między podatnikiem a organem podatkowym? Warto, by konsensualność, do której dążyłyby strony takiej umowy, sprzyjała realizacji interesu prywatnego w wymiarze optymalnym i jednocześnie nie godziła w interes publiczny. Jest to możliwe. W taki sposób równość stron przejawia się w ramach umów konsumenckich w których strona przedsiębiorcy jest wyjściowo stroną silniejszą czy na płaszczyźnie prawa represyjnego przykładowo w prawie karnym — gdzie jak się wskazuje, konsensualny sposób załatwienia sprawy nie powinien dyskwalifikować dążenia do zrównywania pozycji wszystkich uczestników tego konsensu. Autorka niniejszego artykułu broni stanowiska, że uzyskanie w podatkach umownego uzgodnienia na podstawie konsensusu zakładającego równorzędność stron nie wyklucza możliwości realizacji interesu fiskalnego.

Recently, there has been a continuous occurrence of a security incident on a crypto currency exchange. This background is not related to the current social situation. This is because the social interest in crypto currency provides an attacker with a chance to attack. In this paper, we have started to investigate the relationship between crypto currency and security incidents of block chain. This paper focuses on analysis of crypto currency event of block chain. In this paper, we analyzed the amount of Google data retrieval around specific keywords during a specific period. And we analysis the relevance of this keyword to specific keywords related to security. For example, we analyzed the decrypted bitch coin or etherium, the nice money exchange, nicehash, coincheck, BTCglobal, BITGRAIL, Blackwallet. We are focused on the relationship between the time of the security incident and the public awareness of the related crypto currency exchange. According to the results of the study, it can be assumed that a security incident occurred at a certain point in each exchange. Through this study, we were able to confirm public interest in crypto currency miners. I was able to confirm the degree of interest by time. Cryptographic digger was mainly focused on BitMiner, CGMiner, MultiMiner, and BFGMiner. Most of the public interest in these mining equipment is peaking in December 2017. We also looked at public interest in cryptic bit coin and etherium, mainly in December 2017. The results of this paper can be used to analyze the point of time of the attack on the crypto currency exchange. Crypto currency exchange attacks will continue to occur in the future. If so, when is this attack going to take place? At that point, we need to know at what point the exchange will have public interest. At that point, we should also look at the exchange for vulnerabilities.

PURPOSE OF NORMATIVE DISTINCTION OF THE GROUP OF LEGAL SERVICES CONTRACTSIt is necessary to be in favour of both doctrinal and normative distinction of legal services contracts. Currently the differentiation in regulations of fundamental standards of providing legal services is too large. There is no sufficient explanation for different treatment legal services providers in rudimentary and significant issues designating the essence of legal services and their safety, regardless of the regulated or deregulated market. It appears that the deregulated legal services market should  be included in the provisions concerning regulated economic activity in the Freedom of Business Activity Act. The deregulated legal services market should as well constitute an exception justified by the public interest in a higher degree than by creation of qualification requirements, which are currently the base for distinguishing the regulated legal services market. It is necessary to consider formal submission of the deregulated legal services market to the deontology of legal profession. Fundamental standards of ethics and legal pragmatics should be included in all kinds of legal services, not only those provided within the regulated market. Sanctioning of above mentioned standards is undoubtedly in the public interest and for that reason their mandatory  application at least in the basic range should not be dependent on the affiliation to a specific group of legal services providers.

Актуальность исследования обусловлена активизацией на международном уровне деятельности, связанной с защитой коллективных и групповых интересов, о чем свидетельствует целый ряд принятых международных актов. Указанное обстоятельство обусловливает необходимость введения соответствующих механизмов в национальную правовую систему. В статье предпринята попытка обратить внимание на особенности предоставления правовой помощи при защите общественного интереса, опираясь на зарубежный опыт. С учетом анализа научной литературы автор делает вывод, что на доктринальном уровне сформировалось два подхода к пониманию правовой категории «право общественного интереса»: широкий и узкий. Также указывается на необходимость решить ряд вопросов практического характера: определить субъектов, уполномоченных на ее предоставление, включая формы подтверждения их полномочий, а также лиц, имеющих право на ее получение и урегулировать особенности несения судебных расходов. The relevance of the study is due to the activation at the international level of activities related to the protection of collective and group interests, as evidenced by a number of adopted international acts. This circumstance necessitates the introduction of appropriate mechanisms into the national legal system. The article attempts to draw attention to the specifics of providing legal assistance in protecting public interest, based on foreign experience. Taking into account the analysis of scientific literature, the author concludes that at the doctrinal level, two approaches to understanding the legal category of «public interest law» have been formed: broad and narrow. It also points to the need to resolve a number of practical issues: to determine the entities authorized to provide it, including the forms of confirmation of their powers, as well as persons entitled to receive it and to settle the peculiarities of incurring legal costs.

This chapter explores the relationship between politics and scandal throughout American history. Scandals had been part of American politics since the revolution, but they had never so pervasive as in the last three decades of the twentieth century. They had become integral to partisan strategy, political reform, and the public perception of government. The chapter first considers the role of scandal in national politics in the early postwar era, 1945–1964, before discussing the efforts of public interest groups in collaboration with liberal Democrats to put corruption on the national agenda. It then examines the politics of reform between 1972 and 1978, along with the change in political style that gradually encouraged the latent tendency of democratic politics to veer into scandal during the period 1978–1992. It also looks at television coverage of scandals and the impeachment of Bill Clinton and concludes with some reflections on the future of scandal politics.
