Canon law in the kingdom of Bohemia in the Middle Ages /
During the High and Late Middle Ages, canon law played a crucial role. This study provides an overview of ecclesiastical legal scholarship in the Czechlands, i.e. in Bohemia (in the Archdiocese of Prague) and in Moravia (in theDiocese of Olomouc). The development of a legal jurisprudence went hand in hand with the development of ecclesiastical administration in the second half of the 14th century and in the early 15th century, which evolved into a compact system. An important factor in this was the establishment of Prague University,including the Law Faculty, in 1348, and also, in particular, the establishment of the separate Prague Law University in 1372. Amongst the major canonists who left work behind were Štěpán of Roudnice, Bohuslav of Krnov, Kuneš ofTřebovle, Mikuláš Puchník, and Jan of Jesenice, amongst others
Automation in governance ::theory, practice and problems /
This book examines the principles and practice of automation in public governance. Automation is changing the face of government and public law. This collection examines key challenges posed by automation, focusing on theoretical issues, case studies, as well as practices and proposals for reform. It brings together scholars, public officials and judges from a range of jurisdictions, including the UK, the USA, Canada, Austria, France and the Netherlands to examine principles that should guide automation in government and what can be learned from the growing policy failures involving automation. The book contains case studies of significant policy failures involving automation - the Dutch 'child benefits scandal', the Horizon accounting software used by the UK Post-Office and Australia's robodebt social security scandal. These chapters are valuable studies about policy failures involving automation and highlight lessons to be learned. Making an important contribution to public law, governance and automation, the collection highlights challenges faced by all jurisdictions and draws out lessons from some serious failures of administration involving automation
