infoHenry Hillman, 'Half the Bank, Half the Risk, Part 2: The United Kingdom' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 1, pp. 2–11 | | This two-part article assesses the 2007/08 financial crisis: explaining how a speculative bubble began, grew and eventually burst; comparing it to the Great Crash of 1929; and assessing the possibility and practicality of a split between commercial and investment banking activities being enacted either in the US or the UK, with consideration for the global nature of modern banking. This second part of the article examines the development of the bubble and responses to the crisis in the UK. Copyright © 2012 Kluwer Law International

'National Legislation Safeguarding Bank Secrecy and the Steps Needed to Comply with the Effective Exchange of Information Standards: A Comparative Study', Mwaffaq Almahameed, Issue 1, pp. 12–17 |
infoMwaffaq Almahameed, 'National Legislation Safeguarding Bank Secrecy and the Steps Needed to Comply with the Effective Exchange of Information Standards: A Comparative Study' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 1, pp. 12–17 | | The exchange of tax-related information, as one of the major aspect of international tax cooperation in combating tax evasion and harmful tax practices by means of Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs), was an effective means of preserving bank secrecy. This fact was true until 2002, since the increase and expantion in crossborder transactions, through globalisation and governmental harmful competition to attract foreign direct investment, have led to reform in the international exchange of information policy and require more effective transparency. In April 2009, the G20 leaders. at their London Summit, declared that: ''The era of banking secrecy is over'' and that all countries must conform with the effective exchange of information standards (formally called: the key principles of transparency and information exchange for tax purposes). One element of these standards is that no restriction to information exchange could be caused by application of a domestic tax interest requirement or bank secrecy. In this article the author will not try to investigate the legality or legitimacy nor the logic behind effective exchange of information standards, since the main purpose of this article is to examine Jordanian and Egyptian legislation defects and the steps needed by legislators and policy makers to follow these standards.

'The Role of ‘Business Common Sense’ in the Construction of Commercial Contracts', Lee Mason, Issue 2, pp. 32–33 |
infoLee Mason, 'The Role of ‘Business Common Sense’ in the Construction of Commercial Contracts' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 2, pp. 32–33 | | The Supreme Court's decision in Rainy Sky SA & Ors v Kookmin Bank re-emphasises that the ultimate aim of construing a contractual provision is to ascertain what the parties meant by the language used, based on what a reasonable person would have understood the parties to have meant; and that the courts can adopt the construction which is most consistent with commercial common sense. This article examines whether the judgment means that, where there is an ambiguous term, the court can apply the ''commercially sensible'' test before (or instead of) the ''reasonable person'' test.

'United States’ Foreign Policy and its Approach to International Law', Maysa Bydoon, Issue 2, pp. 39–44 |
infoMaysa Bydoon, 'United States’ Foreign Policy and its Approach to International Law' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 2, pp. 39–44 | | The United States is the most significant nation in the world when it comes to international trade. For decades, it has led the planet in imports while simultaneously remaining one of its top three exporters. The US produces approximately 18% of the world's manufacturing output, a number that has declined as other nations developed competitive manufacturing industries. In the light of this economic might this article questions whether the attitude of the US towards international law is accommodating the idea that political ends justify illegal means.

The issues examined include the fact that many users share information with third parties unknowingly through their postings; the introduction of facial recognition software which runs on every photograph uploaded to the site and detects the identity of the user as well as their ''friends'' in the images posted; the management of how tags operate on Facebook; that information released about individuals online such as their personal interests could be used by social network operators for behavioural advertising purposes or communicated to third parties.

'The Relationship Between Arbitration and Jurisdiction Within Europe Post the West Tankers Case', Ala’eldin Ababneh, Sakher Alkasawneh-Jordan, Issue 4, pp. 82–86 |
infoAla’eldin Ababneh, Sakher Alkasawneh-Jordan, 'The Relationship Between Arbitration and Jurisdiction Within Europe Post the West Tankers Case' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 4, pp. 82–86 | | This study aims to explore to what extent the West Tankers case affects arbitration in Europe, and how the relation between arbitration and jurisdiction can be harmonised. It was argued that the suitable solution in resolving the problem of contradictory judgments between European courts was by deleting the arbitration exclusion from the Regulation and giving the court of the arbitration seat exclusive jurisdiction in all matters relating to arbitration. This solution will offer certainty and predictability for the parties because they choose the seat of arbitration which will lead to encouraging the party autonomy principle. The result will be flourishing arbitration within the European community and in the meantime will insure ''mutual trust'' and the smooth circulation of judgments within Europe.

infoAhmed Mohammad Al-Hawamdeh, 'The Effect of the Rome I Regulation upon the Choice of Non-State Law and “Amiable Composition” by Parties in Arbitration' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 5, pp. 116–119 | | This study aims to explore the effect of the Rome I Regulation upon the choice of non-state law or resolving the dispute "amiable composition" by parties in arbitration. Although it is argued by some commentators that these concepts cannot be applied to arbitration as an effect of the Regulation, nevertheless the study concludes that the parties are allowed to choose the application of non-state law and arbitrators are obliged to accept the parties' choice. Although the Rome I Regulation does not have any effect in choice of law rules in arbitration, this does not mean that the arbitration system is completely free of the Rome I Regulation. For example, arbitrators, like judges, are obliged to apply the mandatory rule of law within Europe. Copyright © 2012 Kluwer Law International

infoStephen Gilchrist, 'Paying Your Way Out of Trouble – The SFO and Deferred Prosecution Agreements' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 6, pp. 150–151 | | The Serious Fraud Office is, self-evidently, concerned with the prosecution of fraud and other instances of serious economic crime. Currently it does so within our adversarial criminal justice system, which, after a lengthy and expensive investigation and court process, may result in acquittal or conviction. In the UK, under the law at present, prosecution is the only option, but is a blunt instrument. The only other option is non-prosecution. The SFO must either prosecute with the aim of achieving a criminal conviction or proceed under the Civil Law. In March 2012, Solicitor General confirmed that legislation to enable deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) into the UK, limited at first to corporate offenders, is on the way. This article examines some of the issues which lend themselves for consideration before instituting the DPA system in the UK. Copyright © 2012 Kluwer Law International

'Is FlexibleWorking theWay of the Future?', Ronnie Fox, Issue 6, pp. 152–153 |
infoRonnie Fox, 'Is FlexibleWorking theWay of the Future?' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 6, pp. 152–153 | | This September will see Britain recommence its fight to stop Europe making it difficult for our employees to work more than 48 hours per week. The Working Time Regulations 1998 set out exceptions to the limiting 48-hour working week. Many employers rely on one of the main exceptions within those Regulations and argue that their senior executives work 'autonomously' and can therefore work as many hours as they want. What will happen if this loophole closes? What if Europe refuses to allow us to ask our middle management and junior staff to sign a document in which they 'opt out' of the 48-hour working week? Should employers start to focus less on potential loopholes in the law and more on a business strategy to work smarter? The law currently restricts the right to request flexible working to working parents or those with ageing relatives. Sometimes such a request can stall or, at worst, end careers, resulting in an unnecessary loss of talent. Flexible working can instil loyalty in workers and improve staff morale. Remote working can provide the employer with access to new markets and invariably delivers a better and extended service for clients. A high percentage of office space is not utilised. Transport strikes and the imminent Olympics will take its toll on London's commuters and on the environment. Employers should think imaginatively and consider extending the right to work both flexibly and remotely to more of its employees. Copyright © 2012 Kluwer Law International

In relation to all the other protected characteristics, such as in race and sex discrimination, there is no possibility of justifying direct discrimination. The test, deriving from Art. 6 of the Framework Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation (Directive 2000/78/EC), provides that the employer will need to show that they have a legitimate aim and that the potentially discriminatory action taken is a proportionate means (appropriate and necessary) of achieving that aim.

'Social Entrepreneurship: Social Enterprise Governance', Peter Yeoh, Issue 10, pp. 232–244 |
infoPeter Yeoh, 'Social Entrepreneurship: Social Enterprise Governance' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 10, pp. 232–244 | | Social ventures/enterprises, the product of social entrepreneurship, may exist in different legal forms and are different from conventional commercial ventures in terms of purpose. However, where governance practices are concerned they are just as important to these social ventures as they are for pure commercial ventures and in advanced and emerging economies, especially when suitably adapted. This article, using mainly secondary data and complemented by relevant case studies, explains how and why governance matters in social enterprises and will additionally critically examine current practices in the UK.

'The Right to Strike: A Perspective from International, EU and Jordanian Law', Maysa Bydoon, Emad Dahiyat, Issue 10, pp. 245–248 |
infoMaysa Bydoon, Emad Dahiyat, 'The Right to Strike: A Perspective from International, EU and Jordanian Law' (2012) 33 Business Law Review, Issue 10, pp. 245–248 | | The right to strike plays a substantial role in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers and enhancing justice in the workplace and society. It is then essential for the law in any democratic society to guarantee this right and make sure that adequate protection is given to the individual worker against sanctions for participation in a lawful strike. This paper thus considers the current legislation in Jordan on the right to strike, and explores the question of whether or not such right actually exists, and if so to what degree it complies with the standards that have been followed at European and international levels. This paper, however, is not intended to provide the final answer to all questions and challenges in this regard, but rather to identify the main components and provide some perspectives on how the law should deal with such right.
