Lutero y el nacimiento del individualismo y el positivismo jurídicos 28 octubre, 2020
Castillo de Predjama La Reforma Luterana, y la revolución de los principados alemanes que la encarnaron, rompió el dualismo católico romano de ley eclesiástica y ley secular. Y lo hizo expulsando del Derecho a la Iglesia. Donde el luteranismo tuvo éxito, la Iglesia pasó a ser entendida como algo invisible, apolítico, alegal; y la única soberanía, la única l […]

El otro privilegio del grupo: las operaciones intragrupo y el futuro artículo 231 bis LSC 27 octubre, 2020

El concepto de “empresa” que maneja la legislación de competencia impide calificar como un cártel un acuerdo entre dos empresas que están controladas […]

Una de las novedades más destacables procedentes de los Estados Unidos (USA) es la esperada demanda contra Google por abuso de posición dominante (aquí).

Access and Interoperability and Antitrust 16 julio, 2020
Many of you will have seen a lecture I’ve given on several occasions since around 2011 when I discuss antitrust issues around interoperability.
