Fundamentals of Indian Contract Law offers an accessible yet comprehensive account of the law of contract in India. Authored by two experienced lawyers, it examines the vast and complex body of Indian judicial precedent to identify underlying structural principles. This carefully organized book covers: (i) formation of contracts, (ii) vitiating factors, (iii) illegality, (iv) interpretation, (v) performance, (vi) discharge, and (vii) remedies for breach. Students and practitioners will find it to be an invaluable map with which to navigate a foundational subject.

The Fundamentals of Indian Contract Law

The Art Law Library

This open access book offers a unique perspective on the return of cultural objects by considering the aftermath of the handover processes. While calls for the repatriation of heritage have been made since the start of the decolonisation process, it is only in recent years that the debate on returning cultural objects has gained widespread prominence. This has been followed by ongoing efforts from several countries to change the legislation, adopt principles, and invest in provenance research to turn repatriation into a more proactive mechanism. The book tells the story of cultural objects that were housed in European institutions and returned to countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In addition to in-depth analysis of relevant laws and policies, each of the case studies integrates interviews with those who were directly involved in those return processes, as well as those who were impacted by them, including museum staff, government representatives and community members. The book presents previously unheard insights into past return processes, the manifold modalities that such processes have followed, and, at times, unexpected outcomes. By doing so, it offers possible lessons to be learnt for future returns. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Leverhulme Trust.

Exploring the Stories of Cultural Objects After their Return

Beyond Restitution

This volume is the first in-depth collection to explore the impact of language on the field of comparative constitutional law. It addresses the epistemological and conceptual implications of English as the lingua franca. In this regard, it considers the global influence of Anglophone jurisdictions in orienting the discourse through the identification of concepts, designs and ideas that warrant engagement and exploration outside of those origin jurisdictions. In doing so, the book underscores that language is not a neutral device but can produce hegemonic pressures and expectations. It further makes the role of language in conducting comparative constitutional law explicit, so that its users can be more deliberate in their selection of foreign materials and are made conscious of the limitations of their findings due to language barriers. The book calls for a reckoning with the rich constitutional vocabulary that non-Anglophone jurisdictions have to offer to ensure a more holistic approach to the creation of knowledge. It also emphasises the need for the contextualised study of constitutional phenomena to appreciate how these are shaped by linguistic choices. In addition to raising awareness about language's significance as an epistemological, conceptual and methodological device, the volume also puts forward constructive tools and techniques to harness language's potential, making it an indispensable resource for scholars, students, lawmakers and judges.

The Language of Comparative Constitutional Law

Landmark Cases

From Van Gend en Loos and Costa v ENEL to Cassis de Dijon and Consten and Grundig, Landmark Cases in EU Law explores the most important and well-known EU law cases in two volumes. These volumes show how the European Court of Justice has played a fundamental role in the construction of the European Union in the past 70 years. Many EU 'landmark' cases have been controversial, yet no-one can deny that they have been essential in defining the Union legal order as we find it today. Volume 2 explores the 'substantive' cases that have shaped the Union's internal market, its competition law as well as its internal and external policies. Each of the twenty cases within this volume is placed in its historical and doctrinal context, and each chapter also presents the history of its reception by the Court and academia.

Substantive Cases

Landmark Cases in EU Law, Volume 2

This is the second part of a 2-volume set which presents an in-depth investigation into the canon of constitutionally conforming interpretation. This second volume builds upon the insights of the first volume, which includes national reports on the use of constitutional interpretation. In Volume 2, the analysis is extended beyond the national context, discussing its application in the supranational and international contexts, including in EU law and the domestic use of international law. It presents several critical perspectives, challenging the legitimacy of constitutionally conforming interpretation, and looks at the invisible constitution, constitutional amendments, and the impact of legalism. The volume is rounded off by three comparative analyses, which formulate universally applicable insights. Together with Volume 1, this book fills an important gap in legal scholarship and sets the stage for cross-national discourse on this critical legal method.

Volume 2: Connections and Analysis

Constitutionally Conforming Interpretation - Comparative Perspectives

This book explores the intricate terrain of international religious freedom discourse. It examines the evolution and controversies surrounding the formulation and interpretation of the freedom of religion or belief as a universal right within the United Nations. From legal and philosophical standpoints to the political dimensions of the subject, the book navigates through the complex terrain, shedding light on challenges to the universality and non-discriminatory implementation of this fundamental freedom. Beyond theoretical and legal debates, the study reveals how actors within the United Nations have 'defamed ' the freedom of religion or belief, reshaping its interpretation away from its original 1948 objectives. The book explores the dynamic interplay of postmodern views, legal intricacies, and political perspectives, contributing to a potential diminishment of the normative force of related legal provisions. It addresses critical topics including religious tolerance, blasphemy, defamation of religion, and apostasy, offering a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of international human rights discourse. This is an indispensable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking a profound insight into the challenges and transformations shaping the global pursuit of religious freedom.

Defaming the Freedom of Religion or Belief

Improved usage of forensic science evidence by legal practitioners is essential to reduce miscarriages of justice. This book presents critical insights into contemporary issues of forensic proof from a broad perspective. Using DNA and fingerprint evidence, the authors compare and contrast the science of forensics and how it is communicated to judges, juries, and counsel. With authors from Australia, the UK, and the U.S., the book also addresses how these different countries address science in the courtroom. This resource is ideal for all those who work in forensic capacities, including those scientists who increasingly are called to testify abroad.

Contemporary Chinese Law and Legal System

This book offers the first ever in-depth analysis of the emerging constitutionalism in South Sudan and the challenges it faces. The book critically analyses the constitution-making processes that occurred in South Sudan between 2005 and 2011, finding, among other things, that there was a failure of constitutional discourse, particularly in relation to the 2011 drafting process of the Transitional Constitution. It goes on to analyse how the constitution is being implemented. It finds that, despite the clear division of powers and functions between the national government and the sub-national governments, what has emerged in South Sudan in the post-constitution-making period is a form of coercive centralism where the national government controls much of the political decision-making process. This has had serious implications for democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law. Finally, bearing in mind the failure in both how the transitional constitution was made and how it is being implemented, the book undertakes a critical analysis of the proposed process for drafting a new constitution for South Sudan. It identifies serious shortcomings and proposes how these could be addressed to enhance the process.

Challenges and Opportunities

Emerging Constitutionalism in South Sudan

This book presents a new perspective on the debate around legitimacy, politics and constitutional law in Supreme Courts. Moving away from the troubling perception that Supreme Courts are trampling on the wrong side of the law/politics divide, it accepts and defends the critical claim that constitutional law is intrinsically and inescapably politics: in style, substance and outcome. It explains what is involved in that claim and recommends a more nuanced and compelling account than it is caricatured to be. The book proceeds to demonstrate how the legal and judicial process can proceed if the law-is-politics critique is taken seriously. Insisting that it cannot be business as usual, the author offers a series of constructive proposals about how constitutional law and judicial decision-making can continue in anything like their present format and style. Recognising that a more radical approach could be taken to the way in which democracy might re-organise, the book runs with the idea that it is possible to incorporate and accommodate the law-is-politics argument within a governmental system of constitutional democracy that resembles closely what now occurs. In that sense, the book is both critical and constructive as well as principled and pragmatic.

Courts, Constitutions and Politics

Rethinking Legitimacy

This volume explores in detail the use of the doctrine of good faith in the common law when interpreting contracts and resolving disputes. Building on the findings of Good Faith and Relational Contracts (Hart, 2024) the book discusses the implications of relational contract theory and good faith for issues such as liquidated damages clauses, discretion to terminate a contract, contract forfeiture, employment contracts and contractual remedies. The author discusses the potential for good faith to unite a number of currently disparate contract law and equitable principles into a coherent framework, providing an opportunity to question and jettison some archaic aspects of existing doctrine that are no longer defensible. Ambitious and thoughtful, this is a significant statement on the role of good faith in private law.

Application to Specific Principles

Good Faith and Relational Contracts, Volume 2

Cet ouvrage juridique fondamental de 1921 présente une traduction rigoureuse en langue française du Code Civil Néerlandais, enrichie par sa mise en concordance avec le Code Civil Belge, une démarche essentielle pour la pratique du droit comparé et l'exercice de la profession notariale et judiciaire à l'époque. Le texte a été actualisé pour refléter les lois les plus récentes des Pays-Bas concernant le droit de la famille et le droit social, incluant notamment les réformes sur la puissance paternelle, la tutelle, le contrat de travail et la recherche de paternité.Le Livre Premier, 'Des Personnes', établit les bases du statut juridique des individus, détaillant les formalités de l'état civil (naissance, mariage, décès) et les règles régissant les Néerlandais et les étrangers. Un accent particulier est mis sur le **Droit Matrimonial**, décrivant avec précision les conditions de validité du mariage, les empêchements, les oppositions, ainsi que les effets de la communauté légale de biens et des conventions prénuptiales. Les procédures de divorce et de dissolution du mariage après séparation de corps sont expliquées, notamment les conséquences sur les enfants mineurs et l'obligation de pensions alimentaires. La législation sur la puissance paternelle, la décharge et la déchéance, ainsi que la tutelle des mineurs et l'interdiction des majeurs pour cause de démence ou prodigalité, est intégralement retranscrite, offrant un aperçu exhaustif des lois de protection des incapables.Le Livre Deuxième, 'Des Biens', définit les distinctions juridiques des choses (meubles, immeubles) et expose les mécanismes d'acquisition de la propriété et de la possession. Il détaille les **droits réels** (usufruit, droit de superficie, emphytéose) et les règles complexes de voisinage. Les titres sur les successions ab intestat et testamentaires fixent les règles de la dévolution successorale, la portion légitime des héritiers réservataires (descendants, ascendants, enfants naturels reconnus) et les modalités de réduction des libéralités excessives. La traduction inclut les dispositions spécifiques aux enfants naturels et aux règles de partage.Le Livre Troisième est dédié au **Droit des Obligations et des Contrats**. Il couvre les fondements de l'obligation civile (donation, vente, échange, louage, prêt, rente viagère, cautionnement) et les causes d'extinction (paiement, novation, compensation, prescription). Une section substantielle est consacrée aux **Personnes Morales** et aux **Contrats d'Ouvrage**, notamment le contrat de travail (réglementation des salaires, amendes, résiliation) et le rôle des architectes et entrepreneurs. Enfin, les **privilèges, le gage et l'hypothèque** sont définis comme sûretés et causes légitimes de préférence des créanciers, avec un détail des règles d'inscription hypothécaire et de la responsabilité des conservateurs.
