2luo_ai016年3月28日，人力资源和社会保障部发布的《关于执行<工伤保险条例>若干问题的意见（二）》（下称“《意见（二）》”）第六条规定，职工以上下班为目的、在合理时间内往返于工作单位和居住地之间的合理路线，视为上下班途中。据此，对“在合理时间内”和“合理路线”的理解将直接影响“上下班途中”对工伤进行的认定和把握。结合各地司法实践中的主要争议情形，本文尝试对此问题进行归纳和分析。

融资租赁公司为收回租金，经常面临一些共性的疑难问题，择其要者，解析如下：

1、能否在一个案件中同时诉请收回全部租金和取回租赁物？

《合同法》第二百四十八条规定：“承租人应当按照约定支付租金。承租人经催告后在合理期限内仍不支付租金的，出租人可以要求支付全部租金；也可以解除合同，收回租赁物。”在该规定中，立法所使用的“可以……也可以”的表述，其含义是选择适用的还是可同时适用的，实践中不无争议。为了统一司法尺度，最高法院《融资租赁司法解释》（下称“《解释》”）第二十一条规定：“出租人既请求承租人支付合同约定的全部未付租金又请求解除融资租赁合同的，人民法院应告知其依照合同法第二百四十八条的规定作出选择。”不难看出，该条规定在融资租赁公司所享有的收回全部租金与取回租赁物的两项权利上，坚持的是选择行使的立场。

Cschaub_mhchenbingina cross border e-commerce has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 2 years since the PRC authorities encouraged the use of bonded zones. Some commentators have suggested the value of the business may have exceeded USD 3 trillion in 2015. The effects have not been limited to China as many international companies have seen their share price rise exponentially on the basis of the China e-commerce phenomenon. Cross border e-commerce moved from being a possible avenue to sell to the China consumer to THE only way to sell to China.

Just as everything was going so well, suddenly major concerns surfaced about the very future of cross border e-commerce in China. These concerns were due to a raft of regulations that were issued in April 2016 by a number of Chinese regulators including Ministry of Finance (“MOF”), General Administration of Customs, State Administration of Taxation, Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”), Ministry of Commerce, General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
