Lex Electronica

Volume 14, Number 3 (Winter 2010)

Lex Electronica’s first 2010 issue contains a number of articles relating to the CRDP’s lines of research: new social relations, biotechnology, and information and communications technology.

The first text is on Ivory Coast procedural law. The author postulates the survival of defences against execution owing in particular to an incorrect interpretation of the community text. (A. Ouattara).

Le deuxième texte concerne les biotechnologies végétales et pose le problème de The second article concerns plant biotechnology, and raises the issue of legal protection for innovations and plant varieties in the framework of the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI). By annexing the Bangui Agreement, the OAPI thought it had found a solution, but, according to the authors of the article, the new legislation remains incomplete and inappropriate for the socio-economic environment of OAPI members. (I. L. Miendjiem and P. J. Lowe).

The third paper is a rapid survey of the functionalities offered by the electronic filing systems of the Federal Court and the Tax Court of Canada. The author uses the findings to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the technologies employed. (N. Vermeys).[More]
