Die Eröffnung des Jesaja-Buches wirft zahlreiche Fragen auf. Welche Bedeutung haben Überschriften wie Jes 1,1? Warum richtet Jesaja seine erste Rede nicht an Israel, sondern an Himmel und Erde? Ist sie wirklich, wie oft angenommen, eine „Gerichtsrede“ (Rîb-Pattern)? Warum folgt Jesajas Berufungsvision erst in Jes 6? Warum präsentiert Jes 1 so unterschiedliche Themen wie JHWHs Fürsorge für seine Kinder, Israels Treulosigkeit, die Verwüstung seines Landes, die Zurückweisung jeglichen Kultes, die Kritik an sozialer Ungerechtigkeit? Mittels genauer Analysen von Struktur, Poetik, Semantik sowie Redaktionskritik entwirft der Autor Lösungsansätze, indem er eine Typologie prophetischer Überschriften entwickelt, die Existenz der Gattung des Rîb-Pattern widerlegt und Israels ethisches Fehlverhalten als praktische Leugnung der universalen Herrschaft JHWHs deutet, die zum Verlust des göttlichen Schutzes vor Feinden führt und jeglichen Kult inakzeptabel macht. Diese Situation ist ausweislich textlicher Querverweise der Hintergrund der Sendung Jesajas (Jes 6), die so gewisse Parallelen zu Moses Sendung zum ägyptischen Pharao erkennen lässt. Israel Fall steht Zions Wiederherstellung als Ort der Gerechtigkeit gegenüber (Jes 1,8.24-27; 2,1-5). This interpretation of the opening of the Book of Isaiah proposes a typology of prophetic superscriptions, challenges the existence of the genre of a prophetic lawsuit, and interprets Israel’s offenses against the socially vulnerable as a resistance to the just rule of JHWH with calamitous consequences. Seen in the light of Isa.1, Isaiah’s speech (Isa.6) is directed against a people whose tyrannical behavior recalls that of the Egyptian Pharaoh.

Businesses exist to provide goods and services to customers, and in doing so they take risks. Among these risks is the chance of losing money in lawsuits filed by customers, employees, and others negatively impacted by the business. Insurance provides some protection against these liabilities, but lawsuits still take their toll. This book covers the subject of economic damages and its role in insurance claims and lawsuits against businesses. After reading and understanding this book, the reader will be able to identify economic damages as a component of business liability, describe the business risk posed by economic damages, explain the key determinants of economic damages, and estimate economic damages and business loss in a variety of cases.

Since Estonia regained its independence on 20 August 1991 Estonian civil procedure has been gradually developed from the civil procedure of Estonian SSR to the modern civil procedure rules in force today. The current code of civil procedure was adopted on 20 April 2005 and came into force in 1 January 2006. Since coming into force several changes have been made to the current code with significant changes coming into force on 1 January 2009. Estonian civil procedure is mainly based on the adversarial principle, except for some specific cases and proceedings on petition where the inquisitorial principle is used. Deriving from this the parties are in most cases free to decide on what evidence to submit and whether to submit evidence at all. While the court may ask the parties to submit evidence, they are not required to do so. The situation is different in cases based on the inquisitorial principle. Estonian civil procedure does not impose many restrictions as to the kind of evidence that can be submitted. Virtually anything that can be reproduced in some way may be submitted as documentary evidence and any person who has knowledge about the facts of the case may be heard as a witness. Even the parties may be heard under oath. The Estonian Code of Civil Procedure does not set out many rules on how to evaluate the evidence submitted. The basic rule is that the court has to assess the evidence impartially and as a whole and not give any preference to any particular piece of evidence.

Ireland as a common law jurisdiction operates an adversarial system. Ireland has a written Constitution, Bunreacht na h-Éireann. Other sources of law include legislation and European Union Law and a doctrine of precedent operates. This paper comprises a discussion of the law of evidence in Irish Civil Procedure. It follows the structure of a questionnaire circulated for the purposes of a comparative study as part of an EU wide project and is repetitive in parts. It was completed between November 2013 and August 2014 and in the interim there have been significant developments in the Irish legal system, most notably the establishment of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court decision in D.P.P. v. J.C. [2015] IESC 31, which modified the exclusionary rule concerning unconstitutionally obtained evidence. The primary form of proof in Irish courts is oral evidence. Competent witnesses are generally compellable. Usually testimony, on oath or affirmation, is given viva voce in open court before the Judge and where necessary a jury, and in the presence of the parties. The right to cross-examine is constitutionally guaranteed. In civil cases, the standard of proof is the balance of probabilities. The burden of proof rests on the party which asserts. The principle of audi alteram partem applies. A distinction is drawn between unconstitutionally obtained evidence and illegally obtained evidence. There is pre-trial discovery. Evidence taking by and for foreign courts is discussed.
