Advisory Opinion or Judgment? The Case of the Chagos Archipelago
Get PDFThe aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the ICJ’s advisory opinion of 25 February 2019 on the Chagos Archipelago. It will endeavour to answer the following questions: (i) is it consistent with the letter and the spirit of international law for the ICJ to issue advisory opinions in cases involving a dispute between states, which, due to the lack of consent from one of the states, cannot be brought before the ICJ and be settled by a judgment of that judicial body?; (ii) is such a ruling the right way to settle the issue of decolonization?; and (iii) did Brexit play any role in the case under discussion? The article begins by describing the background to the dispute between the UK and Mauritius. The focus of the analysis then shifts to the nature of advisory opinions and the 2019 ICJ advisory opinion on the Chagos Archipelago. Next, the authors discuss the possible impact of Brexit on the dispute between the UK and Mauritius itself, as well as on the UK’s international standing in general. The article concludes with reflections on voluntarism in international law. The authors conclude that de lege lata an authorized body or organization may ask the ICJ for an advisory opinion in situations where it believes that such an opinion would be useful for its work. However, such advisory opinions should not have the character of authoritative court statements made in pending disputes between sovereign states. As a consequence, such opinions should refer only to abstract legal problems, which means that in some cases the ICJ should refrain from issuing them.The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the ICJ’s advisory opinion of 25 February 2019 on the Chagos Archipelago.

Trademark Registration in Bad Faith in the People’s Republic of China – Causes and Analysis of Provisions of Chinese law
Get PDFBad faith trademark registrations in the People’s Republic of China are a longstanding issue. The PRC’s Trademark Law amendment of 2019 changed some articles relating to the bad faith trademark registration. The goal of this Article is to analyse the sources of this issue and examine the provisions of Chinese Trademark Law to understand how well foreign entities are protected against trademark squatters after the 2019 amendment. The causes of this issue were found in China’s unique economic position, the Chinese language, Chinese society, and Chinese culture. The analysis of the amended version of PRC’s Trademark Law found that, in fact, the Chinese legislator made some enhancements, but unfortunately it seems it is not going to be sufficient to protect the rightful foreign owners of trademarks in an effective way.Bad faith trademark registrations in the People’s Republic of China are a longstanding issue.

Artificial Intelligence and Discretionary Decisions. The Triumph or Loss of Commander Pirx?
Get PDFThe aim of the considerations is to determine whether artificial intelligence units can take the place of humans in administrative proceedings ending with the issuance of discretionary decisions. The author starts from presenting the essence of discretionary decisions and guide the scope of judicial control over them. The presented considerations relate primarily to the potential placement of such devices in the “administrative justice system” that can be defined as artificial intelligence units in the strict sense. Therefore, this concerns devices for which human intervention is usually limited to switching on and technical supervision. However, the considerations can also be applied to such devices where human interference in their operation is slightly greater. It should be emphasized, however, that it this does not concern devices that are fully or almost fully controlled by humans.The aim of the considerations is to determine whether artificial intelligence units can take the place of humans in administrative proceedings ending with the issuance of discretionary decisions.

The Data-Driven Economy. Remarks in the Light of Selected Issues in the Competition Law
Get PDFData has begun to play a vital role in global, EU-wide and domestic economies. On 19 February 2020, the European Commission published the EU’s strategy for data, which outlines a new and unprecedented approach to development. The vision thus described – a data-driven economy – is to be implemented within the next five years.However, this broad undertaking gives rise to a number of legal, economic and social issues which deserve to be more thoroughly examined. In this paper, the author considers how the data economy relates to aspects of competition law, including threats associated with the sharing of confidential company data, and information protected under intellectual property laws, among the participants of the market economy, i.e. businesses. Also, observations are made concerning the hypothetical emergence of monopolies and oligopolies, as well as collusive agreements between enterprises on the grounds of the new approach to development.Data has begun to play a vital role in global, EU-wide and domestic economies.
