Upstream Bundling and Leverage of Market Power
We present a novel rationale for bundling in vertical relations. In many markets, upstream firms compete to be in the best downstream slots (e.g., the best shelf in a retail store or the default application on a platform). If a multi-product upstream firm faces competition for a subset of its products, we show that tying the monopolised product with the competitive ones can reduce upstream rivals’ willingness to offer slotting fees to retailers. …
Casual Vacancies under Proportional Representation
Various systems have been tried or proposed for filling casual vacancies in legislative Houses elected by proportional representation. Because such Houses involve multi-member constituencies and representatives of a variety of views, the traditional by-election to elect a single member would not be sensible as the majority would win even seats previously held by minorities. Thus, various other methods of filling casual vacancies have been adopted…
The Grand Jury of New Zealand in The Nineteenth Century
The grand jury of New Zealand existed for 118 years, but virtually nothing is known about its operation. This article shows that the grand jury of New Zealand developed from an imported institution in 1844 to one that somewhat more closely reflected New Zealand’s needs. Nevertheless, from the first there were voices calling for its abolition and considerable diversity of opinion about its aims and usefulness. It was never comprehensively overhaul…
Teachers’ Religious Headscarves in German Constitutional Law
In 2015 the German Federal Constitutional Court decided that Muslim teachers who wished to wear a headscarf in class must generally be allowed to do so : for any prohibition to be justified the headscarf had to cause a tangible danger of unrest in the school or the school district. The Court should have paid more attention to the interests of pupils to a productive and happy education, but it could not because there is no right to school educatio…
Austria's Law Against Defamation of Religion
Recently there have been calls from Islamic nations for the creation of a crime of “defamation of religion.” Austria already has such an offense: section 188 of the Criminal Code of 1974 prohibits giving “justified offense” ( berechtigtes Ärgernis ) by “publicly disparag[ing] or ridicul[ing] a person who, or an object which, is the subject of veneration of a domestically established church or religious community, or a dogma, a lawful custom or a …
David Dudley Field's Visit to Australia, 1874
Legal contacts between the United States of America and Australia in the nineteenth century appear to have been quite exiguous. One important episode about which little is known is the visit of the famous American codifier David Dudley Field to Australia in 1874. Field was an inveterate traveller

Search has assumed a position of central importance in the way that people access and use online information and services. In this introduction we summarize the four articles constituting this themed section, and in so doing explore the ascendancy of search, the power it bestows upon those who control it, its role in shaping access to information, and its capacity to function as a mirror for society. We point to important outstanding questions an…
The East German Contribution to Equal Gay and Lesbian Rights in Germany
One of the tasks accomplished during the mad gallop towards German Reunification in 1990 was the virtually complete disposal of an entire legal system, that of East Germany, in the rubbish bin. Today, in the western part of Germany at least, East German legal history is barely remembered, and the general impression is that that legal system was an example of systematised injustice.
A qualitative investigation into non-clinical voice hearing
A total of six individuals who identified themselves as “mediums” (people who perceive themselves as able to “communicate” with “spirit” or the deceased) and who reported hearing the voice of spirit (or “Clairaudience”) as a routine part of their work as mediums were interviewed about their experiences using a semi-structured interview format. Interview transcripts were analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. The resulting three th…
Is the Torrens System German
Recently support has grown for the view that the Torrens system of lands titles registration, which has now spread to numerous jurisdictions throughout the world, was actually not Torrens's work at all, but a copy of a German system passed off by him as his own production. This article reviews the evidence, much of which is here discussed for the first time, and concludes that that view is incorrect. Torrens is entitled to the credit for conceivi…

Two English Hearsay Heresies
Using comparative material from other common-law jurisdictions and Scotland, it is argued that two leading decisions of the House of Lords on the scope of the hearsay rule are erroneous. In R v Kearley, the House held that telephone requests by unknown persons for drugs made to the accused were inadmissible hearsay. In Blastland, on an appeal against a murder conviction, the House held that statements by a third person indicating that he knew of …
German Courts Decide Who Is Jewish
On January 27, 2003, amid much publicity, a path-breaking agreement was signed between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Central Council of Jews in Germany. The historical background to, and the historic nature of, such an agreement needs no explanation. This agreement is worthy of scholarly review not only because of the manner in which the agreement came about, its provisions, and its place in the German legal system, but also because of …
Scientology in the German Courts
The “remarkable phenomenon” called Scientology, and Scientologists in their capacity as such, have long complained of persecution by the German state. Their case has been put to various governmental bodies in the United States and has even resulted in attempts to have the United States Congressdeplore[] the actions and statements of Federal, State, local and party officials in Germany which have fostered an atmosphere of intolerance toward certai…
South Australia's Judicature Act Reforms of 1853
In South Australia in 1853, 20 years before the judicature system was introduced in England, legislation was passed to fuse the administration of law and equity. This article first describes the South Australian reform and then considers the sources from which it might have emanated and the motives behind its enactment. It shows that, however boldly the reform may have been conceived, the practical impact of the reform on the administration of ju…
