The London Market Excess of Loss Spiral
No full textThis thesis explores the London Market Excess of Loss Spiral (“LMX Spiral”), a phenomenon based upon excess of loss reinsurance contracts that developed within the London reinsurance market of the 1980s. The unwinding of the LMX Spiral was a key factor in the crisis the Lloyd’s insurance market had to face in the early 1990s. However, whilst the crisis resulted in a wave of litigation in the English courts, there is no legal appraisal of the additional element of risk brought by the LMX Spiral itself. The case law instead focuses on the duties of the underwriters and various agents that fuelled its development.This situation is unsatisfactory for two reasons. Firstly, reinsurance spirals are a potential side-effect of XL reinsurance markets and therefore other spirals may develop in the future. Secondly, this thesis shows that once a reinsurance spiral reaches a certain point, it becomes unsustainable, generating instability within the relevant reinsurance market.This thesis provides a detailed legal appraisal of reinsurance spirals and a new analysis of excess of loss reinsurance contracts. The first part sets out the relevant legal principles and describes the LMX Spiral and its impact; listing, for the first time, the “Spiral Effects” identified through reports and actuarial models. The second part reviews the case law and assesses the legal nature of the excess of loss “Spiral Contracts” at the core of any reinsurance spiral, concluding that the Spiral Effects can distort the Spiral Contracts to the point where they become simple contracts of indemnity. The third part explores the nature of excess of loss reinsurance in light of the review of the Spiral Contracts, submitting that excess of loss reinsurance contracts cover both the liability of the reinsured and the relevant insured peril

Naming respectable women: the case of the “religious sphere”, Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood (1996)
No full textAccording to Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood, the distinction between the public and the private sphere readily applies to the Athens of the Classical period. As we understand from documents produced from a judiciary context, in which we find the notion of kurios, female Athenian citizens were subordinates at home. However, the author maintains, this was not the case within the public sphere: “If it is correct that respectable women were not named in public, such prohibition was not valid in the ..

Styles d'alimentation et goûts populaires
No full textClaude Grignon und Christiane Grignon : Nahrungsstil und Volksgeschmack.
Anhand der Sekundäranalyse von statistischen Daten, einer schriftlichen Befragung bei Lesem einer Verbraucherzeitschrift und einer Reihe von Unterredungen, arbeiten die Autoren die Grundzuge der Entwicklung der bäuerlichen Ernàhrung heraus. Sie unterscheiden mehrere Ernährungsvarianten der Arbeiterklasse und zeigen auf, dass diese ebenso wie die « Kulturen », zu den sie gehören, verschiedenen Fraktionen der Arbeiterklasse entsprechen. Auf der Grundlage dieser Arbeit, prüfen sie kritisch die Kategorien und Vorstellungen, die die wissenschaftliche Tradition und die kollektive Einbildungskraft verbreiten. Sie stellen sich schliesslich die Frage, unter welchen Bedingungen die soziologische Analyse sich von den Stereotypen und Phantasmen befreien kann, die aus dem Zusammentreffen von « Volk » und « Ernährung » entstehen.Claude Grignon, Christiane Grignon : Стили питания и народные вкусы.
Исходя из второстепенного анализа имеющихся статистических данных анкеты посредством вопросов к читателям одного ревю потребителей и серии бесед, авторы выделяют принципиальные черты развития крестьянского питания, различают многие варианты питания рабочих и показывают, что они отвечают в одинаковой мере "культурам", в которых занимают место, и различным категориям рабочего класса. На основе этой работы они критически исследуют категории и представления, движущие научную традицию и социальное воображение, и спрашивают, при каких условиях социологический анализ может избавиться от стереотипов и образов, которые порождает столкновение "Народа" и "Пищи '.Claude Grignon and Christiane Grignon : Food habits and popular tastes.
The article is based on the secondary analysis of statistical data, on questionnaire surveys applied to a sample of readers of a consumers' periodical and on a set of interviews. From the results, the author sets out the main trends of the peasantry's food habits, characterizes several working-class' alternative food habits, and shows that they correspond, as much as the cultures to which they belong, to different sub-groups of the working-class. The categories and representations transmitted by the learned tradition and the social imaginary are then critically examined and the author wonders under which conditions could sociological analysis free itself from the stereotypes and phantasms engendered by the encounter of « People » and « Food ».Claude Grignon et Christiane Grignon : Styles d'alimentation et goûts populaires.
A partir de l'analyse secondaire des données statistiques disponibles, d'une enquête par questionnaire auprès des lecteurs d'une revue de consommateurs et d'une série d'entretiens, les auteurs dégagent les principaux traits de l'évolution de l'alimentation paysanne, distinguent plusieurs variantes de l'alimentation ouvrière et montrent que celles-ci correspondent, au même titre que les « cultures » dans lesquelles elles s'inscrivent, à des fractions différentes de la classe ouvrière. Sur la base de ce travail, ils procèdent à un examen critique des catégories et des représentations que véhiculent la tradition savante et l'imaginaire social et se demandent à quelles conditions l'analyse sociologique peut s'affranchir des stéréotypes et des fantasmes que suscite la rencontre du « Peuple » et de la « Nourriture ».Claude Grignon y Christiane Grignon : Estilos de alimentación y gustos populares.
Basándose en el análisis secundario de los datos estadísticos disponibles, en una informacion hecha por cuestionario entre lectores de una revista de consumadores y en una série de pláticas, desprenden los autores los mayores rasgos de la evolución de la alimentación labradora, y distinguen diferentes variantes de la alimentación obrera; enseñan como corresponden estas, igualmente que las culturas en las cuales se insertan, con fracciones diferentes de la clase obrera. En la base de ese trabajo, proceden a un examen critico de las categories y de las representaciones que trasladan la tradicion sabia y el imaginario social y preguntan en cuales condiciones puede liberarse el análisis sociológico de los estereotipos y de los fantasmas que provoca el encuentro del « Pueblo » y del « Alimente ».Grignon Claude, Grignon Christiane.
