Understanding the Pledge as Security

A pledge involves handing over the secured item to a creditor or third party. This arrangement facilitates the sale of the item if the underlying obligation is not met. Therefore, a pledge necessitates a transfer of possession.

In specific cases allowed by law, this physical transfer (displacement) can be substituted by registration. Examples include:

• Pending fruits and expected crops
• Individual fruits
• Animals
• Machinery and equipment on holdings (as per Art. 54 of the Law of Mortgages and Pledges without Displacement of Possession, December 16, 1954).

Upon receiving possession of the item, the creditor has the right to retain it, or it can be held by a third party designated by mutual agreement (Art. 1866.1 CC)...

The European Parliament: A Key Institution in the European Union

With 751 members, the European Parliament constitutes one of the largest democratic institutions in the world. Its members (MEPs) are elected every five years through direct election – although there have been some issues concerning poor voter turnout – and are distributed among eight different parliamentary groups which are supposed to represent the whole political spectrum.

In order to understand the relevance of the EP in the decision-making of the Union, it will be necessary to analyze what a parliamentary system is and then move into the application...

Judicial Presumptions: Conclusive and Rebuttable

A judicial presumption is a logical inference made by a judge where, once a fact has been established, it is very likely that another fact is true. This is a type of circumstantial evidence, representing the mental activity of inferring the truth of one fact based on another.

It comprises three essential elements: an ascertained fact, a logical link, and a presumed fact. Courts are expected to apply presumptions during the evaluation of evidence.

Presumptions can be categorized into two main types:

• Legal Presumptions: Established directly in the text of the law, these may be either conclusive or rebuttable.
• Judicial Presumptions: Created ad hoc by the court in consideration of the specific circumstances

Management and Partner Authority

No partner may contradict or hinder the action of the sole manager partner. Management is entrusted as an express condition of the partnership contract, and such a manager may not be removed from their position.

If the manager misuses their powers and their management causes damage to the corporate assets, the remaining partners may:

• Appoint a co-manager from among them.
• Bring a claim for rescission of the sole manager's contract before the courts.

Management can be entrusted to one or more persons who are not partners, and the manager can delegate to third parties who are not partners. All partners are entitled to take part in the management and running of common business, including the right of veto.

Bribery: Definition, Nature, and Types

1. Concept

Bribery can be defined as soliciting or receiving a benefit for oneself or a third party, gifts, presents, or offers made by an authority, public officer, juror, arbitrator, expert, or any other person involved in the exercise of public functions, with the aim of inducing a wrongful act in the exercise of their office.
