  • This house deplores the growth of NFT (Non Fungible Token) based art collecting.

    Infoslide

    The NFT is a certificate that assigns ownership of a piece of digital work to the buyer. Collecting through NFTs has a number of implications that set it apart from traditional collecting. On the one hand, the acquired works of art maintain the property history of the work, which ultimately refers to the artist, who receives a percentage for each transfer of ownership through the purchase-sale of the work. In the same way, access to this type of works is not given through private auctions or art galleries, but can be found on unrestricted access pages.

  • This house would lift the corporate veil in all mass tort cases

    Infoslide

    The 'corporate veil' is a legal concept that maintains the legal separation between the company and its shareholders— the company is a juristic person with its own rights and duties, and the ability to enter into contracts with persons or other institutions, to buy property in its name or take loans. The shareholders and managers are not liable for the company's debts, actions or obligations. However, courts sometimes recognise that artificial persons cannot commit illegal or fraudulent activities, and in exceptional cases lifts this shield of separation and holds the human agents constituting the company liable. this is called the lifting/piercing of the corporate veil. A tort is simply a 'wrongful action' that may be caused unintentionally or negligently. A mass tort is an act or an omission that harms or injures multiple people. In such a lawsuit multiple plaintiffs who are harmed or injured in the same/similar manner by the act of the defendant(s), sues the latter for compensation.
