Corporate donations, the best interest of the company and the proper purpose doctrine

Corporate philanthropy is illegitimate spending by powerful corporate elite of someone else’s money; an attempt to bypass democratic allocation of taxes; philanthropy by individuals is laudable, but not by corporations.

The pleasure and pain of donations

Deakin University is only 25 years old but already has a library collection of over 1 million volumes thanks, in part, to judicious seeking and acceptance of donations. This paper provides a case study of how the University has been able to quickly establish teaching and research level collections for new disciplines as well as build breadth and depth in areas already covered by the collection. Donations of formed collections, in particular, have enabled the University to build a research reputation in a number of specialist areas and to make important links with its local communities. The benefits of donations are highlighted, as are the problems that come with being offered gifts of information resources.

Les successions et donations internationales face au droitt européen: réflexions critiques sur l'arrêt de la Cour de justice du 3 septembre 2014

El trabajo contiene una reflexión crítica sobre la normativa española en materia de sucesiones y donaciones en relación con los no residentes. Se denuncia la discriminación existente en este ámbito entre residentes y no residentes, al no poderse beneficiar estos últimos de las importantes ventajas autonómicas previstas para los residentes. Así lo ha reconocido el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, en su Sentencia de 3 de septiembre de 2014 que, sin embargo, no zanja todos los aspectos de la polémica. La autora analiza el pronunciamiento y advierte sobre los casos problemáticos susceptibles de plantearse en el futuro, ante la insuficiencia de la sentencia del Alto Tribunal.
