Den har vært antatt at det i Finnmark i eldre tid ikke eksisterte jordfellesskap eller teigblanding, da all jord tilhørte staten eller Kongen. Dermed var det heller ikke behov for utskiftning.

Drøftingen tar utgangspunkt i at fiskerisystemet for kystfartøygruppen forskjellsbehandler fiskerne ut fra eierskap til enkeltfartøy i lukkede grupper. Dette innebærer at den som ønsker å drive ervervsmessig fiske i de lukkede fiskerier, i de fleste tilfeller er henvist til å erverve fartøy med kvotefaktorer.

Our subsequent critical synopsis reveals how existing ...

Her anvendes begrepet ofte uten at det tas sikte på dets rettslige innhold,1 og i den grad dets rettslige innhold er det sentrale, er det nok fortrinnsvis begrepets folkerettslige innhold som berøres. I debatten som fulgte ...

The rapid changes in both climate and human activity occurring in the Arctic Ocean demands improved knowledge about this region. Combined with eased accessibility due to reduced sea ice cover and new technologies, this has led to increased research activity in the region. These circumstances put pressure on the applicable legal framework, i.e. the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. ...
