CONT

In China, from ancient times to the present, from official government business to private affairs, no matter how important or trivial, your chop affixes your credit and your promise. After signing your name, your chop is still required for a document to be legally binding. Name chops are used by Chinese calligraphers and painters. Artists follow the custom of stamping their works with the name chops to "sign" them and as proof of authenticity. Name chops are engraved by hand. It combines the beauty of written characters and line drawings. The most common materials for making chops are copper for the general population, and jade, for the emperor and nobility.

En Chine, depuis l'antiquité, des affaires officielles aux affaires privées, le sceau représente le crédit et l'engagement. Après signature, le sceau doit être apposé pour qu'un document devienne légal. Le sceau est utilisé par les calligraphes et les peintres chinois qui impriment leur sceau sur leurs œuvres en guise de signature et de preuve d'authenticité. Gravés à la main, les sceaux combinent la beauté des caractères chinois avec la finesse du dessin. Les matériaux les plus souvent utilisés sont le bronze et le jade, ce dernier étant réservé à l'empereur et à la noblesse.

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Law of Contracts (common law)
CONT

The cases make clear that whether or not parties are bound immediately by an informal oral agreement is a question of fact to be determined in each case. If the evidence indicates that the execution of a formal contract is a condition of the bargain, then the informal agreement is merely "a contract to make a contract, "and is not binding on the parties until the formal execution of an agreement. On the other hand, if the evidence indicates that the execution of a formal contract is merely the expression of the already complete and binding contract, then the informal agreement is binding and the formal documentation need not be completed.

OBS

Generic term for "simple agreement" and "agreement by parol"; "parol agreement."

Record 8 1999-11-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • International Law
CONT

The sources of international law. There is innate in man a consciousness of right and wrong, regulating his behaviour towards his fellows, the recognition of the requirement to "co-exist" with them on a reasonable footing. Human society, on the other hand, cannot function without a certain number of binding rules of conduct which must be such as to enable it to avoid bellum omnium contra omnes. These factors are the underlying causes of the birth of law in any human community. The accent may be laid on one or other of these fundamental elements, but the two are always present. These are the "sources" of the law in their philosophical, psychological, sociological connotation, the "material" sources.... The concrete ways and means, the "formal" sources of the law, differ from community to community : they are not the same in secular as in ecclesiastical communities, nor in national as in international society. These "formal" sources,... necessarily reflect the nature and structure of the community concerned : they appear as custom, legislation, bye-laws, national case law, papal bulls, treaties, resolutions of international bodies, etc., as the case may be. There is still a third sense in which the expression "sources" is used in respect of law; in this sense the metaphor does not refer to the basic or to the "formal" origins of legal rules, but to the documents and writings in which they can be found, just as in another field historians work with their "sources". These are not, of course, genuine sources of the law.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit international
OBS

Ces sources englobent les sources matérielles (ensemble des éléments auxquels se rattache la formation des règles du droit international, c'est-à-dire les sources du droit des gens, la conscience juridique commune, les principes et les faits qui expliquent l'origine profonde de l'apparition des règles juridiques) et les sources formelles (qui extériorisent, qui expriment les règles de droit), c'est-à-dire les quatre catégories de sources que la CIJ [Cour internationale de Justice] utilise pour déterminer le droit applicable aux différends dont elle est saisie.

OBS

Record 10 1998-03-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Forwarding, Folding, and Binding (Printing)
DEF

A method of hand bookbinding in which the book is bound with either a leather spine and cloth sides("reliure demi-cuir, plats toile"), or a cloth spine and paper sides("reliure demi-toile, plats papier"). While this style is usually found on books which have been bound by hand, publishers’ edition binding can also be quarter-bound, though two runs through the casemaker may be necessary.

OBS

A quarter-bound book, unlike a half-bound book, has no leather (or cloth) corners.

Key term(s)
  • quarter binding

French

Domaine(s)
  • Façonnage, pliage et reliure (Imprimerie)
OBS

Étant donné que la seule distinction entre «quarter-binding» et «half-binding» est la présence ou l'absence de coins, ces deux termes peuvent, dans certains contextes pas trop spécialisés, se traduire par «demi-reliure». Bien que le français précise «demi-reliure à coins» dans le cas de «half-binding», il ne juge pas utile de rajouter «sans coins» dans le cas de «quarter-binding» mais insiste plutôt sur les matériaux utilisés, d'où le deuxième équivalent français proposé.
