Schofield-Georgeson E: Contract, Labour
Law and the Realities of Working Life

Contract, Labour Law and the Realities of Working Life

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book provides a comprehensive study of two parallel notions of civil and common law: cause and consideration. It does this in three ways; with historical, comparative, and functional perspectives. Aspects of cause and consideration are hotly contested by contract lawyers and this book will bring clarity by looking at the English and Continental positions. Key areas of focus include: enforceability, questions of legality and morality, contractual justice, and the correction of unjustified property displacements. Bringing together a team of experts, the book discusses (in some cases for the first time in English) complex questions of both academic and practical importance.

Exploring the Foundations of Contract Law

Cause and Consideration

In business and life we avoid sensitive yet crucial topics at our own peril. Harvard Business School's Christina Wing provides tools for navigating and communicating with clarity and compassion.We live in a world where the list of off-limits topics keeps growing--at work, at home, and even among friends. Age, retirement, succession, failure, money, politics: these subjects feel too sensitive to touch. So we avoid them, sticking to small talk and keeping up appearances. But this comes at a cost. When we can't address the realities shaping our lives and careers, trust erodes and relationships suffer. Is this really the new normal?In Unspeakable: The Taboo Topics We Avoid and How to Talk About Them, Harvard Business School's Christina Wing argues that it shouldn't be. Drawing on decades of experience working with family enterprises and in boardrooms and classrooms, Wing reveals how fear and inhibition undermine performance--and how learning to address and talk about the "unspeakables" can improve our organizations and our lives. This is not a call for reckless candor; it's a practical guide to speaking and acting with clarity, empathy, and respect.Through vivid stories--from family firms derailed by secrecy to global companies paralyzed by conversations that don't happen--Wing shows the costs of dodging the truth--and what changes when we face it. Each chapter tackles a different taboo, from estate planning and layoffs to race and religion, offering strategies and scripts to help readers navigate these issues with confidence.Leaders, colleagues, and families need deeper relationships built on real talk, not small talk. Unspeakable gives you the knowledge and tools to start those conversations--and to make workplaces and lives more honest, humane, and resilient.

The Theory and Practice of Change and Employee Health

Wellbeing and Organizational Change

In today's global markets, commercial contracts are the backbone of complex financial and corporate transactions. Yet despite their centrality, these documents are often riddled with flaws-ambiguous terms, outdated provisions, and strategic traps-that persist across deals and markets. Legal theory tends to overlook these imperfections, assuming contracts are coherent, intentional, and complete. But the reality of contract production tells a different story. Contract Hazards: Lawyers and Their Landmines investigates the hidden dangers embedded in standardized contract language. These "landmines" are not rare mistakes-they are structural features of how contracts are assembled under pressure, often from recycled precedent and boilerplate. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative research, it explores how flawed terms originate, why they endure, and how they are sometimes exploited by lawyers when deals unravel. Focusing on markets such as sovereign bonds, mergers, and syndicated loans, this analysis traces how different legal communities respond to these flaws-some seeking to repair them, others learning to weaponize them. While landmines are widespread, the behavior of lawyers and the institutional dynamics of each market shape how they are managed. By bridging the gap between contract theory and contract practice, Contract Hazards offers a compelling new perspective on how legal documents evolve. It challenges conventional assumptions and illuminates the complex, often messy realities of modern contract drafting.

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.

Good Faith and Relational Contracts, Volume 2

Anlässlich des 70. Geburtstags von Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Karl-Peter Sommermann würdigt diese Festschrift seine umfassende wissenschaftliche Arbeit. Seit Beginn seiner akademischen Laufbahn forscht der Geehrte zu grundlegenden Fragen der Rechtsvergleichung, des ausländischen öffentlichen Rechts, der Transnationalisierung sowie zu den Grundprinzipien und Werten des nationalen Verfassungs- und Verwaltungsrechts. Sein Werk ist geprägt von Außenperspektiven auf das nationale Recht, einem tiefen Verständnis der Prozesse der Internationalisierung und Europäisierung sowie der Entwicklung des nationalen öffentlichen Rechts im transnationalen Kontext. An diese Aspekte knüpft der vorliegende Band an. Angesichts erneuter Nationalisierung, hegemonialer Ansprüche, neuer Kriege in Europa und multipler Krisen – wie etwa der Klima- oder der Rechtsstaatlichkeitskrise – stellt sich die Frage, ob und wie die transnationale Perspektive auf das öffentliche Recht fortbestehen kann. Welche grundlegenden und welche neuen Konzepte prägen heute den öffentlich-rechtlichen, transnationalen Diskurs? Diesen und weiteren Fragen gehen 37 kurze Einzelbeiträge in diesem Band nach.&nbsp;Der Fokus liegt auf den folgenden vier Themenfeldern: Rechtsvergleichung, ausländisches öffentliches Recht, Europäisierung und Internationalisierung des Verwaltungs- und Verwaltungsprozessrechts sowie Grundwerte und Grundprinzipien des deutschen und europäischen Verfassungsrechts. Die einzelnen Beiträge sind in deutscher, englischer, französischer und spanischer Sprache verfasst und repräsentieren das mehrsprachige Werk des Geehrten. Im Zentrum stehen aktuelle Fragestellungen der Rechtsvergleichung, der Transnationalisierung sowie der Grundprinzipien des öffentlichen Rechts. Dabei werden nicht nur Antworten auf aktuelle Trends wie Nationalisierung und Populismus gesucht, sondern auch tragende Werte wie Rechtsstaatlichkeit und europäische Demokratie kritisch reflektiert. Der Band ist daher ein unentbehrlicher Begleiter für alle, die sich für Grundfragen des öffentlichen Rechts, des Europa- und Völkerrechts interessieren.

Festschrift für Karl-Peter Sommermann anlässlich seines 70. Geburtstags

Now in its fourth edition, the book has been widely used in both undergraduate and graduate courses as an introduction to the legal system. This new edition follows the same structure as the previous editions while providing a thorough updating and reworking of the text. This edition reflects upon what has happened in the years since the third edition was published in 2017, the rise of social media, the strains of climate change, the globalization of risk, the pandemic, and the immigration crisis. The book addresses how these events and evolutions have shaped our fundamental comprehension of the workings of the American legal system today.
