U svom prilogu autor govori o historijskim, rodbinskim i pravnim odnosima i okolnostima nasljednog prava na temelju kojih se je grof Frederik Celjski javio kao pretendent na bosansko prijestolje.

The focus of Directive 2013/11/EU of 21 May 2013 on alternative dispute resolution of consumer disputes is set on the mediation in disputes, arising from sales and service contracts, in which one of the parties is consumer, but а lot of disputes remain outside the field of the directive, and are ready to be resolved by alternative methods. In theory mediation is not allowed in tax–, administrative–, family–, and labour – and social disputes. This article brings up the question whether and to what extent mediation could contribute to the creation of best practices for corporate governance of the public limited liability companies and whether it can be used to resolve disputes in company law. Mediation is examined as a means to optimize the negotiations between two parties and as an alternative to the existing tools for resolving conflicts. It can be useful in resolving conflicts, which arise in the relationships between persons who take part in the management of a company and which are the result of the tension between different groups of interests, in herent to the character of the business activity. The results of mediation go beyond the boundaries of the decision in the given case. Whereas the decision must be good for both sides, the resolution of the specific conflict improves the relations between the persons involved. This also has a positive influence on resolving the forthcoming conflicts and enhances corporate governance practices. That’s why in this paper there is an attempt to reveal the application of mediation in resolving disputes related to challenging the decisions of the general meeting of shareholders and disputes concerning the right to information. Both types of disputes refer to the control over the legality of the decisions of general meetings of shareholders. Mediation cannot be bypassed through judicial claims as the parties are always invited by the court to refer to conciliation and to reach an amicable solution.

We conducted an analysis of the succession rights of surviving spouse the succession rights of surviving spouse in Ancient Roman Law, Pretorian Law and Imperial Roman Law. Thus, we have done research starting from the Law of Twelve Tables, dating from Ancient Roman Law and we have come across the years until Iustinian’s Codification, in the 6th century BC. The focus is mainly on the historical and sociological context in which the surviving spouse had a usufruct over the decedent’s share which was generated by the transmission of the estate of the deceased and the termination of the matrimonial regime. Concerning every relevant historical period, we have studied the mandatory conditions that needed to be fulfilled in order to provide a legal usufruct to the surviving spouse. However, to enhance the fluency of the study, we have made some remarks related to the rights of the surviving spouse and other heirs, in general.

Mediation is a voluntary out-of-court procedure that can significantly to ease the work of the justice system. The suggestion for initiating mediation can do both parties to the dispute together or each of them separately, as well as a court or other competent authority before which the dispute has already been resolved. Statistics show that cases are increasing its number, and society remains increasingly dissatisfied with the lawsuit. But the theoretical potential for the great practical application of this institute has not been realized. Still the concept and procedure are unknown or in the most the best case - poorly known.Mediation is a voluntary out-of-court procedure that can significantly to ease the work of the justice system.

Subject of the study are the Roman provincial government, the ways of collecting taxes in Sicily, the subjects involved in the collection of taxes and public revenues in the Roman provinces and their internal organization. In the article are commented and translated many passages from the Verines, which confirm that the companies of the publicans (societates publicanorum), charged by the Roman state with public functions to collect taxes and public revenues in the roman provinces at the end of the Roman Republic, at this period have a particular internal organization very similar to that of the modern legal entities of corporate type.

The article deals briefly with the historical development of the innominate contracts, from mere agreements not fitting into any of the classical categories of the Roman contracts – the formal, real and consensual contracts to a bunch of diverse pacts which were actionable and had a binding character for the parties who concluded them. After the terminological clarifications introduced by the glossators and under the influence of the cannon lawyers, the commercial practices and the school of the natural lawyers there is no further doubt that innominate contracts have the same binding effect between the parties as all typical contracts, e.g. the sale, the lease and the mandate. The principle “pacta sunt servanda” becomes the major concept behind the conclusion of a contract in the European codifications of the XIX century. The next chapter of the article makes an overview of the regime of the innominate contracts in Bulgarian law after the Bulgarian Deliberation until present by rendering the Bulgarian readers a possible answer how to find the rules applicable to the innominate contracts.

In the present article the author (who was a participant in the selection procedure under discussion in the paper) shares her views on the developments concerning the organization and the consequences of the selection procedure for a new Bulgarian judge in the General court to the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) in Luxembourg. The procedure, which was based on a Decree No 214/2010 adopted by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria, failed at the end because of the irregularities vitiating initially some of the provisions of the above mentioned Decree which are inconsistent with the binding provisions of the TFEU. According to the author the solution for the deadlock following the unsuccessful selection procedure lies in a prompt and indispensable procedure for preliminary ruling before the CJEU for the interpretation of the relevant Treaty provisions.
