  • Validated for the vote, it was ratified in favor, and the decree law is validated.

The decree law was provisional and, subject to 30 days, becomes a final rule without changing its nature; it becomes law and is part of finalizing the OJ.

  • Congress does not agree to derogation; the rate is negative because the decree cannot remain in force. The interim rule loses its validity and is repealed. Repeal would entail extraordinary problems, as it would be in force from 1 to 30 days maximum, and then would have been rejected

Legal Theories of Causation in Criminal Law

Law2.72 KB

Action and Results: Objective Type 2

In result-oriented crimes, it must be possible to attribute the typical injury to the actions or omissions. To that end, legal systems rely on theories of causation. According to the theory of equivalence of conditions (frequently cited by the Supreme Court), a fact is the cause of the result when, if the first is mentally deleted, the second does not occur (conditio sine qua non).

However, this criterion is not always sufficient. Sometimes, despite the condition being mentally removed, the result continues to occur, yet it may still be considered the cause of the result (for example, when two people provide an equally lethal dose of poison to a victim). Moreover, not all "conditions" can be considered a "...

Collective Bargaining Unit Agreements: Legal Standing & Challenges

Law3.58 KB

Autonomy and Scope of Specific Category Agreements

The broad autonomy recognized by Article 83.1 of the Workers' Statute (ET) allows a group of workers to negotiate their own specific category agreement, forming what is often referred to as a *bargaining unit* or "strip." Examples include airline pilots and railroad engineers, who have successfully negotiated agreements with overall effectiveness for their entire unit, including non-union workers. While these agreements are legal, questions persist regarding the specific entity entitled to negotiate them.

For agreements concerning workers within a single company, standing rules recognize the legitimacy of unions at the enterprise level or lower. These rules impose different requirements for agreements...
