    Las obligaciones de medios y de resultado en la propuesta de Código Mercatil
    (IE University, 2014-07-01) Elizalde, Francisco de; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    El trabajo analiza la novedosa regulación de las obligaciones de medios y de resultado en la Propuesta de Código Mercantil (PCM), que incide directamente en los contratos de servicios. Para ello, estudia previamente la validez actual de la mencionada y controvertida clasificación, respecto de la cual se aprecia un renovado interés. Sobre esta base, se valora críticamente la regla general de la PCM en la materia, sugiriendo algunas reformas que la doten de una mayor utilidad práctica en la labor de determinar el alcance vinculante de una obligación de hacer. Asimismo, se estudia la aplicación del binomio obligaciones de medios/obligaciones de resultado a los contratos mercantiles particulares de la PCM.

    The EU Platform Work Directive. What’s new, what’s missing, what’s next?
    (European Trade Union Institute, 2024) Aloisi, Antonio; Rainone, Silvia; Vandaele, Kurt; European Union’s Erasmus+; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Policy recommendations The adoption of the Platform Work Directive by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (EU) enhances the EU and national labour law systems by introducing a number of concrete advancements. They include a presumption of employment for platform workers, clearer rules on algorithmic management and data rights, stronger collective labour rights, and robust enforcement safeguards. By granting algorithmic management and collective rights to genuinely self-employed platform workers, the Directive significantly expands the personal scope of application of labour rights. This initiative should be seen as one of the first steps towards redesigning the normative paradigms that govern labour law. By establishing a comprehensive framework for algorithmic management and data rights at both the individual and collective levels, the Directive highlights the urgent need for a new EU instrument regulating data-driven technology in the workplace, applicable to workers across all conventional sectors. Given the broad discretion left to national legislators, it is crucial that trade unions, employers and labour advocates take advantage of the Directive’s groundwork to prevent the emergence of fragmented, burdensome and ineffective regimes during (and after) the two-year transposition period, which will start from the moment the Directive is published in the Official Journal of the EU and thus is likely to end in autumn 2026.
