Book review: Sustainable finance in Europe edited by Danny Busch, Guido Ferrarini and Seraina Grünewald
No full textIn Sustainable Finance in Europe, editors Danny Busch, Guido Ferrarini and Seraina Grünewald bring together contributors to explore regulatory developments in sustainable finance in the European Union. This necessary book will enable readers to understand the latest regulatory activities in the context of growing global commitments to sustainability, writes Irina Bevza.

Netherlands
No full textThe increase in the offering of financial products to consumers has driven developments in Dutch case-law pertaining to a bank’s duty of care. In view of this, it seems only natural to begin with an overview of the major cases in this area (section II), followed by a treatment of the legal basis of a bank’s duty of care (section III), and the essential duties typically flowing from it (section IV). The hotly debated topic of the impact of MiFID on a bank’s duty of care is dealt with in section V. In section VI, in view of the fact that a claim based on a breach of a bank’s duty of care is in Dutch law generally based on tort or breach of contract, we will focus on the requirements which must be fulfilled in order to institute a successful damages claim based on tort or breach of contract. Then we move on to the relation between a bank’s duty of care and more traditional doctrines, including reasonableness and fairness, mistake and other defects of consent, unfair contract terms, and voidability or avoidance based on breach of mandatory law or the violation of public morals or public policy (section VII). We continue this chapter with some remarks on group actions and mass claims (section VIII), a proposal of the Ministry of Finance to concentrate civil litigation on the provision of investment services, investment activities and prospectus liability at the Amsterdam District Court (section IX), alternative dispute settlement at the Complaint Institute Financial Services (section X) and the role of the regulator in settling disputes (section XI). Section XII contains some concluding observations...
Approaching the diamond surface: first principles modelling the physics and chemistry of approaching radicals
No full textThe diamond surface plays a central role in much of the diamond research, and as such much of its properties are described and studied in great detail. There is a clear picture of the atomic scale structure of the different facets and their reconstructions. Also terminations with H, O, N and other atomic species as well as the incorporation of these elements has been modelled [1,2]. The electronic structure and the negative electron affinity mechanism is elucidated and so on. In contrast, however, the atomic scale models of diamond growth are much less developed, though progress is being made [3]. In these models the reaction barriers between stable and meta-stable intermediates are being calculated, providing insights into the kinetics of the surface. However, quantum mechanical models can provide much more insights than this. In this work, we simulated the approach of radical atoms and molecules towards the H-terminated diamond 001 surface. By allowing the model to equilibrate at every step, the physics and chemistry of the approach can be followed in minute detail. It allows us to indicate at which distance the surface and radical start interacting, and what that interaction entails. The charge evolution of the radical and the surface is followed by means of Hirshfeld-I charges, providing insights into charge transfer mechanisms. [4] Throughout the approach, the interaction can be followed through different physical and chemical concepts. Different types of bonding are identified as well as H-abstraction events and covalent bonding. In this work, our focus goes to C and P based radicals, showing them to behave very differently near the surface, providing insights into the requirements for improved P incorporation.The author name needs to be updated to include the middle names: Danny E.P.

Naar een beperkte aansprakelijkheid van financiële toezichthouders?
No full textContains fulltext :
89939.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)De roep om een beperking van aansprakelijkheid van de financiële toezichthouders AFM en DNB wordt steeds luider. Niet alleen zij lobbyen al enige tijd voor een aansprakelijkheidsbeperking, ook de Commissie-De Wit is daarvoor. Minister De Jager heeft laten weten diverse opties voor een aansprakelijkheidsbeperking te willen bespreken met de Minister van Justitie. Maar is zo'n beperking wel wenselijk? Zal een aansprakelijkheidsbeperking kunnen leiden tot een effectiever toezicht en tot een rechtvaardiger verdeling van schade? Zijn er nog andere argumenten die voor of tegen een aansprakelijkheidsbeperking pleiten? Deze vragen zal prof. mr. Danny Busch bespreken in zijn inaugurele rede.26 januari 2011XI, 104 p
