Vicarious Liability for Group TortsAuthor: Sara Spiro Svendsen Edition: 1st (24 August 2023) Pages: 272 Hardcover ISBN: 978-87-420-0057-1 Price: DKK 495 incl. VAT (DKK 396 excl. VAT) Price: €67 incl. VAT (€54 excl. VAT) Vicarious Liability for Group Torts examines the possibility to apply ordinary tort law rules, including vicarious liability theories, on the corporate group. The book analyzes the existing methods of reaching the pockets of parent company for subsidiary faults and then ask whether tort law could play a bigger role in holding the corporate group responsible. This question is debated based on a concurrency theory where the traditional veil piercing theory and tort law theories are treated as equivalent routes for liability – not as being in conflict with one another. The research finds that there are no insuperable obstacles in applying tort law on the corporate group. However, some adjustments will be required to overcome the limits imposed by the general principle of limited liability. |

The Business Judgment Rule in Danish LawAuthor: Søren Bergenser Edition: 1st (7 January 2022) Pages: 224 Hardcover ISBN: 978-87-420-0046-5 Price: DKK 395 incl. VAT (DKK 316 excl. VAT) Price: €54 incl. VAT (€43 excl. VAT) The Business Judgment Rule in Danish Law provides a full overview of the Danish version of this legal doctrine, which is a turning point in most disputes regarding the liability of directors and officers in Danish companies. The recent Supreme Court decisions regarding the liability of directors and officers in bankrupt banks have developed the doctrine in Danish law. The doctrine is put into context by a thorough comparative study with, primarily its US/Delaware ‘mother’, which provides an understanding of this doctrine, born in a common law jurisdiction, and transferred to the Danish civil law legal system. The book provides insights into the different standard liability situations, known in Danish law, and a thorough examination of a large number of Danish court decisions, distilling how the doctrine applies in different standard liability situations. Søren Bergenser is a practicing attorney and holds a Ph.D. in law from the University of Copenhagen. He is also external lecturer at Aalborg University. |

Your Privacy Is Important to Us! – Restoring Human Dignity in Data-Driven MarketingAuthor: Jan Trzaskowski, with a foreword by Eric K. Clemons Edition: 1st (30 november 2021) Pages: 352 Hardcover ISBN: 978-87-420-0042-7 Price: DKK 395 incl. VAT (DKK 316 excl. VAT) Price: €54 incl. VAT (€43 excl. VAT) Your Privacy Is Important to Us! explores the application of EU consumer law—including data protection law and other fundamental rights—to data-driven business models that infringe on human agency, social cohesion and democratic debate. It suggests how our current legal framework can be informed by psychological, technological and societal perspectives to curb predatory business models of surveillance capitalism. The book elucidates the potential for cross-fertilisation between data protection law and marketing law, and it demonstrates how the protection of human dignity, privacy and non-discrimination may corroborate these legal disciplines. It is argued that ‘paying with personal data’ is a misleading framing when, in fact, we pay with attention and agency—which are both scarcer and more precious than personal data and are also important in social and societal contexts. A three-tiered model of information asymmetry is introduced to illustrate why information does not ensure transparency, which is a prerequisite for user empowerment. The aim is to inform and amplify ongoing debates by providing a coherent framing of data-driven marketing in the context of law, psychology, technology and society. Jan Trzaskowski, Ph.D., is Law Professor at Copenhagen Business School and Aalborg University. Since the mid-1990s, he has dealt with legal and regulatory aspects of information technology, and his research focuses on the protection of consumers and fundamental rights, including privacy. He was Head of the Danish delegation negotiating the 2000 E-Commerce Directive and is founder of the Business in Democracy Initiative (BiDEM). Eric K. Clemons, Ph.D., is Professor Emeritus at The Wharton School and author of New Patterns of Power and Profit. OFFER: Book (DKK 395) + Mug (DKK 120) = free worldwide delivery DKK 515,- incl. VAT (DKK 412/€56 excl. VAT). |

Essays on the Optional Society – and a Letter Concerning InclusionAuthors: Peter Hulsrøj & Marco Aliberti Edition: 1st (19 November 2021) Pages: 336 Hardcover ISBN: 978-87-420-0039-7 Price: DKK 295 incl. VAT (DKK 236 excl. VAT) Price: €40 incl. VAT (€32 excl. VAT) The Optional Society adopts the unique approach of looking at societal change from the perspective of the avalanche of options we are currently exposed to and will be confronted with to an even greater extent in the future. This new world will face us with personal and societal challenges that it is important that we address urgently and with proper consideration. The book draws on many sources and covers a great range of domains, from artificial intelligence over genetics, democracy, Big Tech, historiography, to arts, virtual life and sex, whilst placing these diverse elements in the context of general political and social thought. It reconceptualises human rights, puts a question mark against received constitutional law wisdom, and challenges the validity of legal dualism in a world where not only humans but also issues are increasingly interconnected! |

Big Science and the LawAuthors: Ulf Maunsbach & Axel Hilling (ed.) Edition: 1st (14 July 2021) Pages: 272 Hardcover ISBN: 978-87-420-0036-6 Price: DKK 495 incl. VAT (DKK 396 excl. VAT) Price: €67 incl. VAT (€54 excl. VAT) The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a state-of-the-art neutron scattering facility, built on the outskirts of Lund in Southern Sweden, and expected to be taken into scientific operation in 2023. It is funded, run, and built by a consortium of thirteen (to date) European governments who jointly provide for its funding and establish its overarching governance principles, and it is co-hosted by Sweden and Denmark, with the main facility in Lund and a data-center in Copenhagen. The ESS has been subject to some studies in the history and sociology of science and similar facilities in other countries is also a popular topic for studies of the politics, funding and organization of science today Previously unexplored, however, are the many interesting legal aspects of Big Science in its contemporary form. This book, written by a number of legal scholars at Lund University and associates in the private sector, makes the first scholarly attempt to fill this gap, using the fact that the ESS is located in Lund and Copenhagen and is under construction, which makes the preconditions formidable for studies of Big Science and the law. This book includes a variety of legal areas focused on potential problems that are related to Big Science: labour law, intellectual property law, law of associations, environmental law and tax law. |

Edition: 1st (27 November 2019) Pages: 272 Hardcover ISBN: 978-87-420-0025-0 Price: DKK 395 incl. VAT (DKK 316 excl. VAT) Price: €54 incl. VAT (€43 excl. VAT) Taxation and CSR is becoming an ever-important concept among multinational enterprises (MNEs), but its meaning and its impact on corporations and societies are still uncertain. Despite the lack of common understanding of the meaning of responsible tax behaviour, the concept of ‘responsible tax behaviour among MNEs’ is materialising as one of the main pillars of CSR. In this anthology, internationally renowned researchers and specialists grapple with and explore relevant themes within: Taxation and CSR in Perspectives, Taxation and CSR in Practice and CSR and Taxation in Regulation. This book delivers new insight and knowledge on this important and ever-developing topic. The anthology is the keystone of an international conference on Fair Taxation and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) held at the University of Copenhagen in 2018 organised jointly by the University of Copenhagen, Lund University and Hanken School of Economics Helsinki. |

Copyright, to be or not to beAuthors: Jørgen Blomqvist (red.) Edition: 1st (4 June 2019) Pages: 356 Hardcover ISBN: 978-87-420-0004-5 Price: DKK 695 incl. VAT (DKK 556 excl. VAT) Price: €94 incl. VAT (€75 excl. VAT) This book contains the papers presented at the ALAI Congress in Copenhagen on May 18–19, 2017. Today, the protection of copyright and related rights is as controversial as ever before. It reaches into our everyday activities on the internet and is by many seen as an impediment to the free flow of information, culture and entertainment. The Congress examined in depth not only why this protection came about, but in particular also which role it plays in modern society. Some of the leading experts in the world discussed the issues under the following headings: the traditional justifications for copyright and related rights; economic aspects of copyright and related rights; individual and collective licensing as a means of improving the functioning and acceptance of copyright and related rights; and general tendencies and future developments. The general reports, which are based on questionnaires from a large number of ALAI’s national groups, are published in English, French and Spanish, whereas other papers are published in one of these languages, as it was presented. |

Where Do We Stand on Discounts? – A Nordic PerspectiveAuthors: Christian Bergqvist (ed), Vladimir Bastidas, Henrik Ballebye Okholm, Torben Thorø Pedersen & Eirik Østerud Edition: 1st (14 December 2017) Pages: 208 Hardcover ISBN: 978-87-420-0014-4 Price: DKK 395 incl. VAT (DKK 316 excl. VAT) Price: €54 incl. VAT (€43 excl. VAT) Dominant undertakings’ ability, under competition law, to award discounts and other loyalty inducing considerations are subject to much ambiguity and unsettled issues. Despite discounts being a commercial requirement, even for the dominant undertaking, it is difficult to draw up clear principles. And while the approach to non-dominant undertakings restriction of competition has been fundamentally recast over the last 20 years, the appraisal of single company behaviour remains more formal and rigid. However, recently there have been indications that some of the same leniency might have been extended to discounts and unilateral behaviour and in particular the 2017 Court of Justice ruling in Intel has reopened the discussions. The objective of this book is to provide guidance on the matter under EU and Nordic competition law and to align these with economic theory. |

VAT (DKK 316 excl. VAT) Price: €54 incl. VAT (€43 excl. VAT) The digitalization and commercialization of teaching raise both new and old questions with respect to academic freedom, copyrights to teaching materials, employment rights, open access and data protection, public sector information, and transparency. When traditional academic learning is challenged, academic freedom and the protections of privacy and moral rights are essential. |
