Frågan om skattskyldighet vid konkurs är idag inte reglerad i lag. Före avgörandet RÅ 1955 ref. 21, delades skattskyldigheten mellan konkursgäldenär och konkursbo och hela inkomsten blev beskattad.

Avtalsrätten är just nu ett högaktuellt ämne både på EU-nivå och i Sverige. EU började intressera sig för avtalsrätten redan under 1980-talet. Finansiellt stöd har alltsedan dess lämnats åt en skara akademiker kallade Lando-kommissionen, efter den danske initiativtagaren professor Ole Lando, för att hjälpa dem att söka utröna gemensamma grunder i den samlade europeiska avtalsrätten.

Huvudsyftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån gällande rätt, praxis och doktrin undersöka och analysera vilka möjligheter det finns att ta miljöhänsyn vid en of

Stock seems to evolve over time in a structure similar to what is proposed by the Dow Theory. The investigation of intra-day investor behaviour suggests that the return characteristics are different from previous research around market close. It is most likely due to Sweden being a small and open economy affected by the global financial markets. The findings correspond to what is expected in terms
