This chapter gives an overview of the law on contract formation and third party beneficiaries in Cambodia. Much of the discussion is tentative since the new Cambodian Civil Code only entered into force from 21 December 2011 and there is little case law and academic writing fleshing out its provisions. The Code owes much to the Japanese Civil Code of 1898 and, like the latter, does not have a requirement of consideration and seldom imposes formal requirements but there are a few statutory exceptions from the principle of freedom from form. For a binding contract, the agreement of the parties is required and the offer must be made with the intention to create a legally binding obligation and becomes effective once it reaches the offeree. The new Code explicitly provides that the parties to the contract may agree to confer a right arising under the contract upon a third party. This right accrues directly from their agreement; it is not required that the third party declare its intention to accept the right.

This chapter discusses the law on third party beneficiaries in Japan; mostly characterized by adherence to the German model that still bears an imprint on Japanese contract law. Thus, there is neither a doctrine of consideration nor any other justification for a general doctrine of privity, and contracts for the benefit of third parties are generally enforceable as a matter of course. Whether an enforceable right on the part of a third party is created is simply a matter of interpretation of the contract which is always made on a case-by-case analysis but there are a number of typical scenarios where the courts normally find the existence (or non-existence) of a contract for the benefit of a third party. In the recent debate on reform of Japanese contract law, wide-ranging suggestions were made for revision of the provisions on contracts for the benefit of third parties in the Japanese Civil Code. However, it turned out that reform in this area was confined to a very limited codification of established case law.

This chapter examines the history and use of maxims in legal traditions from several areas of the world. A comparison of legal maxims in Roman, Hindu, Jewish, and Islamic law shows that maxims function both as a basic tools for legal interpretation and as distillations of substantive legal principles applicable to many cases. Maxims are characterized by their unquestionable character, even though it is often easy to demonstrate contradictions between them. As a result, legal maxims seem linked to the recurrent desire for law to have a moral foundation. Although maxims have lost their purchase in most contemporary jurisprudence and legal practice, categories such as “canons of construction,” “legal principles,” and “super precedents” all show similarities to the brief and limited collections of maxims in older legal traditions. The search for core ideas underlying the law thus continues under different names.

In Islamic law, pre-wedding photos have not been regulated in detail. However, pre-wedding photo activities have become commonplace by the community. It becomes a problem when pre-wedding is currently done with an intimate scene, usually the prospective bride uses sexy clothes and is also not accompanied by her mahram when doing pre-wedding photos. Even though there have been many fatwas and studies on the limits of permissibility and prohibition in the pre-wedding procession.The results show that the pre-wedding procession that is carried out by the community in terms of poses, clothes, and also assistance in accordance with Islamic law, the law is permissible. However, it often happens in the community to take photos before the marriage contract with scenes as if they are legally husband and wife and the bride's family knows without prohibiting, directing, and guiding them according to Islamic teachings. In this case the role of the family is very important, we as parents must understand the basis of religious knowledge and how to instill religious values in our children since childhood is the key to this problem dilemma.

The article deals with the rights of women in the Fatimid Caliphate (10th to 12th centuries) by analysing the judicial practice of the time, the decisions of the Sharia and Mazalim courts. The author focuses on the legal status of women in the sphere of marriage, family and criminal law in the Ismaili tradition. Historical-legal and comparative-legal methods are used in the analysis of sources. The study begins with a short digression into the history of the Fatimid Caliphate. The features of the judicial system, the role of the cadi and its competence are described. There are a number of court cases, one of the parties to which was a woman. Based on the analysis, the author makes a conclusion about the specifi city of the Fatimid approach to marriage, in comparison with the Sunni and Imamite legal schools. The special role of guardians at the conclusion of the marriage contract and restriction of freedom of its termination is noted. Attention is drawn to the fact of extremely negative attitude to marriage between Muslim women and representatives of other religious movements, as well as to such an institution of family law as temporary marriage, legalised in the Imamite school of law. The fi nal part deals with criminal cases in which a woman is both the victim and the accused. Based on these precedents, it is a non-trivial conclusion that the judges of the Fatimid Caliphate did not always rely on Sharia norms when making decisions against women, which is completely atypical for Muslim traditions in general. At the same time, any crimes against this group of the population were punished rather severely. Particular attention is drawn to the state’s approach to women plaintiffs, depending on the degree of their personal participation in the judicial process.

This study aims to find out to know the form of violations and witnesses to the notary position based on Law No. 2 of 2014 concerning the Position of Notary and the perspective of Islamic justice in viewing a notary who is indicated to have committed a crime in connection with an authentic deed he made.            This research uses normative law research or dogmatic law research using the doctrinal method. Normative legal research includes research on legal principles, research on legal systematics, research on vertical and horizontal synchronization stages, comparison of law and legal history.            This research concludes that the notary public is a public official who makes an authentic deed and has the authority as regulated in Article 15,16, 17 of Law No. 2 of 2014 concerning the Position of Notary Public. The notary is obliged to act on trust; honest; independent; objective and safeguard the interests of parties involved in legal actions. Notaries in carrying out their duties and positions if convicted of violations, may be subject to sanctions or sanctions in the form of civil, administrative, and notary code of ethics in accordance with Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2014 concerning Notary Positions. Even so, the Notary Position Law does not regulate criminal sanctions against Notaries. Whereas in practice there is an opportunity for a legal action or violation by a notary related to an authentic deed he made that can be qualified as a criminal offense. A notary who is indicated to have committed a crime in carrying out his authority as a Public Official, of course, must be a concern of the government and law enforcement because the law must be upheld against anyone who commits indiscriminate violations. This rule is a manifestation of the principle of "equality before the law" (equality before the law) which is a fundamental element in the concept of the rule of law. Honesty values; keep the mandate; fair; and this objective is synergistic with the values of justice in an Islamic perspective that promotes justice and problems. Described in the Qur'an An-Nisa verses 58 and 135 and QS. Al Ma'idah verse 8. Islamic law also regulates justice in recording a deed, for example just in recording accounts receivable debts (Q.S. Al Baqoroh: 282)Keywords: Islamic Perspective; Justice; Notary Public; Perpetrators; Criminal Act

This chapter describes ‘apparent authority’—otherwise known as ‘ostensible authority’. It arises when a third party is induced to enter into a transaction with a principal by a party who appears to have authority to act but who in fact lacks such authority. It is not authority, as such. Rather, the law gives effect to the appearance of authority, despite the fact that in reality there is no actual authority to act. The appearance may be created by the principal’s specifically misrepresenting to third parties that the agent enjoys authority to perform certain acts or by the principal’s allowing third parties to infer that the agent has the authority that such an agent would usually possess. In contrast to actual authority, the doctrine of apparent or ostensible authority is generally agreed to be based on estoppel by representation.

The purpose of this article is to consider the legal effects of a transfer of property by A to B subject to the performance by B of some obligation in favour of C, a third party to the transfer. The student of the law of contract is well familiar with the common law rule that no one who was not an original party to the contract is entitled to the benefit of that contract. But this rule creates hardship in particular cases and it has been shown that, in the main, three methods have been evolved to evade those unfortunate results. First, the legislature has intervened and provided C, the third party, with statutory rights. Secondly, the doctrine of agency has been invoked whereby C may claim that he is the principal of B. Thirdly, but with varying success, the trust concept has been pressed into service whereby C has sometimes been able to show that he is a beneficiary.

The question of which law should govern the third-party effects of assignments of claims was considered during the preparation of the Rome I Regulation. The European Commission’s proposal for the Rome I Regulation admitted the law of the assignor’s habitual residence as the law that should apply to the proprietary effects of assignments of claims. Finally, EU Regulation on the law applicable to contractual obligations did not include the issue of the third-party effects of the assignment. However, Article 27(2) of the Rome I Regulation required the European Commission to present a report on the question of the effectiveness of assignments of claims against third parties accompanied, if appropriate, by a proposal to amend the Rome I Regulation. Proposal for a Regulation on the law applicable to the third-party effects of assignments of claims (COM(2018) 96 final) is a response to this request. This paper analyses current draft of the new EU Regulation, the rules on determination of the third-party effects of assignments of claims (law of the assignor’s habitual residence and law of the assigned claim) and "super conflict rules" in specific cases. The author argues that the law of the assignor’s habitual residence remains the appropriate conflict rule for proprietary effects of assignments of claims.

This study aimed to analyze legal problems due to the change in the legal status of the debtor’s property in marriage which was previously a joint property into the personal property of each husband or wife.  This study used a statutory approach and an analysis approach, while the analysis techniques used grammatical interpretation and systematic interpretation. After the decision of the Constitutional Court was issued, the creation of marriage agreements that had been ratified would result in the law of separation of property and applied to third parties. The marriage agreement should not harm third parties.
