Record 2 2017-01-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Copyright
CONT

The right, where granted, is a means by which the creator of an artistic work can share in the proceeds of successive sales of the original of that work, after its initial sale ... The right, limited to originals of fine art, originated in France and spread to legislation in a few other countries ...

OBS

Since the "droit de suite" exists only in France, Belgium and other European countries, and since even in Copyright and Designs Law (The Wilford Committee Report), published in Great Britain, the term "droit de suite" is used, it is preferable to avoid the proposed translations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droits d'auteur
DEF

Droit inaliénable dont jouissent les artistes et leurs héritiers d'effectuer un prélèvement sur le prix de revente de leur œuvres, tant que celles-ci ne sont pas incorporées au domaine public.

CONT

Le terme «droit de suite» identifie une forme de droit résiduel. Ce droit, lorsqu'il est accordé, constitue un moyen par lequel le créateur d'une œuvre artistique peut «suivre» l'original de cette œuvre et avoir sa part du produit des ventes successives de cet original, subséquemment à la vente initiale.

Record 3 2001-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of the Sea
  • International Public Law
DEF

Universally recognized rule by which men-of-war of a littoral state can pursue into the open sea, seize, and bring back into port for trial any foreign merchant vessel that has violated the law while in the territorial waters of that state.

CONT

The right of hot pursuit ceases as soon as the ship pursued enters the territorial sea of its own country or of a third State.

OBS

The term "right of hot pursuit" has been officially established by the Convention on the High Seas, done at Geneva on 29 April 1958. It is the only correct term in usage to express the concept described by some authors under the key-word "right of pursuit" which is misleading because, as the international convention rules in its article 23: "The hot pursuit of a foreign ship may be undertaken ... and may only be continued outside the territorial sea or the contiguous zone if the pursuit has not been interrupted." This condition requires the inclusion of the adjective "hot" within the full term, in order to express without ambiguity the underlying concept.

OBS

right of hot pursuit: Expression and definition reproduced from the Glosario Provisional de Términos Jurídicos with the permission of the United Nations Office at Geneva.
