Under the Motor Vehicle Damage Liability Insurance Contract, a legal relationship is established between the insurer and the insured. However, if in the traffic accident the damage is caused to a third person, that person is entitled to compensation directly to the insurer of the motor vehicle liability insurance contract between the insurer and the owner of the vehicle engine, but not according to the basis of this contract, but according to the basis of the law itself. For this this kind of insurance we call extracontractual or legal insurance. The circle of third persons, the people who have the right to compensation by motor vehicle use in the movement, does not have the same magnitude in all countries. There are many factors that influence the width of the circle of third persons (the level of economic and civilizational development, the material possibility of certain countries, etc.). The development of insurance law up to now shows the trend of expanding the protection of the damaged, as well as an ever smaller number of people and victims of traffic accidents who are left out of the law for compensation.

110 lat polityki publicznej w Wielkiej Brytanii (1910-2010)

Author(s): Piotr Jachowicz / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 1/2014

The subject of this study is the evolution of British public policy between 1900 and 2010 with to the special focus on budgetary, monetary and social policy, as well as policy towards the public sector. This period was characterized by a steady, yet non-linear rise in economic and social activity of the state. Sudden increases were caused by one of three categories of events: wars, economic crises and changes at the highest levels of government. As a result, the history of British public policy in between 1900 and 2010 is divided into the following stages: 1) 1900-1931 - decline of the liberal era; 2) 1931-1951 - steady increase in the state's economic activity; 3) 1951-1979 - systemic stabilization at a high level of state involvement in economic and social issues; 4) 1997-2007 - attempt to return to economic liberalism; 5) 2007-2010 - a period of volatility and the search for new public policy principles.

A stinking business. Environmental issues, protests and big money in the waste business in Russia

Author(s): Jadwiga Rogoza / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2018

In recent months, Moscow oblast has seen a series of social protests against environmental problems caused by municipal waste landfills. The waste disposal sites are overloaded, lack adequate safeguards, emit toxic gases and contaminate the groundwater with harmful effluent. The situation is most severe in Moscow oblast because the capital city generates the largest volumes of waste; however, the problem itself extends beyond environmental concerns into the economic and social spheres. Waste management in Russia is marked by notorious overloading of legal waste disposal sites and the emergence of illegal waste dumps, inadequate waste disposal practices leading to air pollution and groundwater contamination which affect local residents, and bad practices by businesses with links to President Vladimir Putin which have monopolised the waste collection sector.

Administrative Judiciary in the European Doctrine of Administrative Law at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries

Author(s): Grzegorz Smyk / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

One of the fundamental assumptions of a constitutional and lawful state was recognizing the existence of an inviolable sphere of rights and freedom of individuals that restricted the freedom of administrative action. The guarantee for the protection of the sphere was seen in the statutory defining of the boundaries of the workings of the state apparatus and in the possibility of the external audit of the legality of the public administration. The duty was supposed to be fulfilled mainly by administrative judiciary which was considered to be one of the most significant institutions of administrative law in the 19th-century theory and practice. The term “administrative judiciary” was understood as the settlement of complaints against unlawful administrative decisions implemented by way of contentious proceeding before the authorities of the Member State. Such understanding of administrative judiciary did not decide upon the necessity for separating individual authorities, independent of Common Courts, that were established for administrative disputes resolution. It also did not define the material scope of its characteristics. Those issues were of special interest to the European Administrative Sciences, especially in the second half of the 19th century.

Aktualna reforma penzijskog sistema u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine: šta donosi novi Zakon o penzijskom i invalidskom osiguranju?

Author(s): Specified No Author / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 33/2018

The application of the earlier Pension and Disability Insurance Act caused constant losses that resulted in a high deficit in the Pension and Disability Insurance Institute. This finally raised serious questions about the pension system solvency in FB&H, pension adequacy and regular pension payments. In addition, bad economic and demographic situation, decline in working-age population, emigration of the young working class population etc. are just some of the reasons that also indicated the need for pension system reform in FB&H. This paper deals with the current reform of the pension system in FB&H through the analysis of the recently adopted Pension and Disability Insurance Act and the novelties introduced by it. Special emphasis is given to the provisions containing the elements of unlawful discrimination as well as unconstitutionality. As such, these provisions are contrary to the European and regional trends, the international conventions and to the Constitution of FB&H. As an obvious example of unlawful discrimination the paper particularly stresses the provision denying unmarried partners’ access to the survivor's pension. Also, the provision suspending the pension payments to one group of pensioners represents a violation of the right to property guaranteed by the FB&H Constitution and as such could be used as the basis for initiating a procedure for assessing its constitutionality. The analysis of the disputed provisions of the Pension and Disability Insurance Act points to their discriminatory and unconstitutional character and to the need for their amendment in order for FB&H to follow the European path and comply with the constitutionally accepted obligations with regard to the international conventions.

Aktualność koncepcji współporządków Wilhelma Röpkego dla teorii polityki publicznej

Author(s): Grzegorz Szulczewski / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 3/2017

Normative concept of The Social-Economic order proposed by Wilhelm Röpke allows for the valuation of the modern shape of Capitalism. In the introduction the author has attempted to show the actual problems faced by current Public Policy such as reinstatement of the socially accepted order of freedom during era of oligopolistic-corporate-finance oriented capitalism, fight against asymmetric distribution of wealth and management of sustainable Immigration Policy. Wilhelm Röpke was a member of a group called "Ordo liberals". According to the Ortoliberals the public policy needs to allow most possible freedoms to all citizens (including economic free market freedoms). At the same time, the Ortoliberals want to be active in preparing the Public Policy which would prepare a platform for effective economy, fair justice system and equal opportunity for all members of society. According to Ortoliberalism, administrative actions need to follow the principle of subsidiarity. The Public Policy must also ensure social justice and protection of dignity for the whole population, as expected in the society governed by Social Solidarity.

Akty prawa miejscowego z perspektywy 25 lat samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce

Author(s): Agnieszka Bien-Kacala,Iwona Wróblewska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: XXXIV/2015

The article refers to issues that cause most controversies in the field of the legislative power of the local self-government. The postulate to clarify this sphere has been rooted in the controversies concerning local law that aroused just after the political transformation. The system of the acts of local law has been partially determined by the Constitution of 1997. The Authors have discussed the place of local acts in the system of the sources of law in Poland, the problem of a dichotomous approach to them and the normative character of these acts. Legislative activities of local authorities result in the rich and diverse collection of normative acts. However, their inherent feature is the need to settle a casu ad casum their legal nature. The Authors have also described doubts concerning the legal basis of the acts of local law from the constitutional point of view. It especially refers to the statutes of self-government units and the local authorities that may issue such sources of law. The Authors conclude that local legislation should be perceived as an element of a larger whole- coherent and complementary system of universally binding law. This is only possible while respecting the fundamental principles of the constitutional system of the sources of law, the rules of proper legislation and the effective instruments of control over the legality of local law. From the perspective of 25 years of functioning of the local self-government in Poland, the postulate to organize the system of the acts of local law in the spirit of constitutional arrangements must be maintained. In particular, the constitutional requirements concerning local law should actually entry into force.

Aluminij d.d. Mostar na isteku mandata Vlade FBiH - Oktobar 2018. godine -

Author(s): Samir Mušovic / Language(s): Bosnian / Publication Year: 2018

Nije rijetkost da se značajni društveni i privredni problemi, slučajno ili namjerno, lansiraju u javnost usred predizborne kampanje ili u prva 3-4 mjeseca novog mandatnog perioda. Podešavanje objave vijesti o krupnim aferama i krupnim društvenim problemima u predizbornom periodu ili u prvim mjesecima novih mandata nije slučajno: javna pažnja je zasićena izbornom kampanjom i dodatno, kao u ovom slučaju, dokazanim odsustvom javne pažnje uobičajenim za mjesece ljetnih godišnjih odmora (dovoljno se prisjetiti najpoznatijih vremenskih podešavanja objave loših vijesti u slučajevima poskupljenja osnovnih namirnica i usluga, koje se ćešće objavljuju u trećem večernjem dnevniku, a znatno rjeđe u udarnom terminu drugog TV dnevnika). Tako su vijesti, objavljene krajem mjeseca juna 2018. godine, vezane za smjenu direktora Aluminija d.d. Mostar i istovremena objava vijesti da to preduzeće ima akumulirani gubitak blizu 180 miliona Eura, zadržale javnu pažnju na problemima preduzeća Aluminij Mostar čak i kraće od «tri dana BiH čuđenja», koliko se BiH javnost uobičajeno zadržava na tzv. udarnim problemima.

Amerykańska polityka wobec rynku pracy a weterani pokolenia 9/11

Author(s): Adam Korolczuk / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 4/2015

A few years ago, veteran employment was associated in the United States with the charity. Today both public administration and many private companies are willing to assist former soldiers. Within the next five years, about one million soldiers will have to leave the armed forces because of the planned partial withdrawal of the U. S. troops from Afghanistan and defense cuts. Most of them will find employment, however, a significant percentage, especially the young veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars will remain unemployed. Veterans affairs are crucial both for the President of the United States, the Congress and the whole American society, as they are related to the economic and social aspects of the state functioning. On the other hand, misconception about ex-combatants prevents the use of their potential and skills acquired in the military, and is not reflected in any way on the economy of the state. This situation is frustrating because veterans can be very good workers having many qualities that are desirable among employers, such as leadership skills, cooperation, loyalty and initiative.

Amerykański system penitencjarny a poziom inkarceracji weteranów wojennych

Author(s): Adam Korolczuk / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 1/2017

There are about 2.2 million prisoners in the USA. It is generally viewed that this number is a result of a too severe penal system connected with the introduction of the absolute intolerance for drug crimes policy. But not only gang members and drug dealers are doing time in prison, this system also applies to war veterans. In 2012, there were 181,500 veterans behind bars, especially participants of the recent wars. Most of them face problems with addiction or struggle with permanent unemployment, homelessness or psychological disorders. This phenomenon is alarming because veterans as a privileged group have a social, medical, education cover and all capabilities not to break the law. Veterans as former soldiers, disciplined and well familiar with criminal law, who received ethics and international humanitarian law training courses, from practical point of view should not break the rules stated by the legal system. The image of former veterans who served their country, totally disagree with penitentiary statistics. Recent years have shown that military service, especially in the area of conflict, may become a double-edged sword, and in fact veterans may pose a threat to society.

Author(s): Jowita Pustul / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 88/2014

When buildings or structures are treated as a fixed asset they are subject to tax depreciation. The standard depreciation rate for buildings used for dwelling purposes is 1.5% p.a. For other buildings the rate is 2.5% p.a. In case of buildings or structures improved or used for more than 60 months prior to their acquisition, a depreciation rate can be increased till 10% p.a. Any increase in the value of the already depreciated buildings (e.g. as a result of further modernization, or extension) is subject to the same depreciation rate. This article discusses some main rules applicable in a tax depreciation of improved or used buildings and structures.
