Los derechos potestativos o facultades unilaterales de configuración jurídica 3 diciembre, 2020
“quedar, y no quedar obligado, son cosas incompatibles”Ese es el fundamento, según García Goyena, del art. 1115 (condición si voluerit) y 1256 CC (la validez y el cumplimiento del contrato no pueden quedar al arbitrio de una de las partes).

Quizá pretenden poder retractarse si se les acusa de decir una barbaridad o un disparate. Lean estos párrafos sobre el carácter dispositivo del art. 348 bis LSC (intuyo que quiere decir que le parece bien que el art. […]

Data: the uniqueness of the dataset and the slope of the value curve 1 noviembre, 2020
Some questions to ask about datasets and the importance of that data for markets, firms and allegations of market power: Is the data already replicated elsewhere? Is the data replicable?
