McDermott P: Contract Law

Contract Law

When the gates of the last Magdalene Laundry closed in 1996, Ireland moved on. Or so it seemed. 'Enraging ... superb' JOHN BANVILLE, Guardian 'Remarkable' Sunday Times 'An extraordinary gift ... both an education and a page-turner' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA 'Highly readable and intelligently engaging' FINTAN O'TOOLE, TLS 'Indispensable' ANNE ENRIGHT 'A terrific unearthing of Ireland's shadowland. A landmark book' RORY CARROLL 'Vivid, fluent and deeply compassionate' Irish Times 'Powerful ... authoritative, passionate' Mail on Sunday Following independence in 1922, Ireland began to chase a dream: to become the perfect Catholic nation. But purity had a price. Throughout the twentieth century, thousands of women and girls who did not conform - the wayward, the poor, the disabled, the abused - were sent to the Magdalene Laundries. Each was perceived to have fallen in some way. Once locked inside, their hair was shorn off, their names were erased - and then they were put to work. They washed, they scrubbed and they prayed, labouring in an attempt to salvage their souls. This remains one of the darkest and most misunderstood periods of recent history. Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the last Laundry's closure, The Fallen is the forgotten story of the Magdalene Laundries, told through the voices of the women who endured them, the nuns who presided over them and the communities that lived alongside them. Unflinching and compassionate, Louise Brangan draws on archives and survivors' testimonies to dismantle long-held myths about what the Laundries were, who was sent to these places of violence and secrecy, and why. As we move from the past into the present, Brangan compels us not only to confront this shameful history, but to ask a deeper question: what do we choose to remember? Winner of the 2024 Royal Society of Literature Giles St Aubyn Award

One of the most anticipated debuts of 2026: A heartbreaking literary thriller from one of Ireland's most exciting writers

All Them Dogs

Studies of the Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law

Drawing on the experience of recognised experts from across a range of different fields and jurisdictions, this landmark publication tackles default rules in private law in comparative perspective. Often underestimated, but highly influential, default rules are non-mandatory rules that kick in where nothing else has been agreed or provided. The contributions explore default rules from a variety of angles relevant to both scholarship and legal practice, including: · behavioural aspects and the role of platform terms in the digital age; · the remit and operation of defaults in different areas, ranging from contract and commercial law to succession, civil procedure and private international law; · a comparison between Common law and Civilian approaches as well as the EU level; · the perspectives of different 'players' engaged in the generation and application of default rules.

Default Rules in Private Law

...by any standard, a remarkable magnum opus ... No serious lawyer, accountant or corporate entrepreneur can do without this work. The 2014 Act and this volume, taken together, are the corner-stone and keystone respectively of the bridge to understanding the corporate law of this State. Michael McDowell, The Sunday Business Post The most comprehensive commentary on Irish company law and the recognised authority in this jurisdiction, Law of Companies is an unparalleled statement of the law applicable to the formation, administration and management of companies. This new edition: - reviews the amending legislation enacted since 2015; - completely reviews the law relating to one of the most fundamental principles of company law, lifting the veil, - expands and improves the chapters on the law on corporate criminal liability and the criminal liability of directors, - redevelops the chapter on directors' fiduciary and other duties by reference to both Irish and UK developments, - provides coverage of the significant changes to company general meetings introduced following Covid, - analyses the new rescue process for small and micro companies that was introduced in 2021, and &gt; Fully updated to take account of the hundreds of judgments from the Irish and UK courts delivered since the previous edition, as well as the new statutory provisions, the fifth edition of The Law of Companies is a 'must have' for all practitioners and students of Irish company law. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Company and Commercial Law online service.

The Law of Companies

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book explores the use of the doctrine of good faith in the common law when interpreting contracts and resolving disputes.

This doctrine is well-accepted in civil law, is reflected in international commercial law, and is a fundamental aspect of private law in the USA. However, its use in the UK is extremely limited. Inconsistent application has given rise to confusion and uncertainty. This apparent antipathy is somewhat hard to fathom, given its previous widespread acceptance in English law.


The book explains in depth the history of good faith in English law, and clarifies its current status in English, Australian and international law. It explores the relationship between good faith within contractual relations and the neighbour principle in tort law, and notes the workability of good faith in the commercial context of insurance. This will be welcomed by contract lawyers in both common law and civil law jurisdictions. A subsequent volume will explore how acceptance of good faith in the law might lead to a re-interpretation of existing contract law doctrine.

Theory, Practice and Future Developments

Good Faith and Relational Contracts, Volume 1

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

'An absolute gem. Dark, funny and iconoclastic' THE TIMES 'Razor-sharp and deeply unsettling while being endlessly entertaining. A triumph.' JENNIE GODFREY, author of THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS 'A delicious, literary feast. A wickedly funny and sharply relevant novel of duplicity and betrayal with a glittering cast of literary greats.' ANNA MAZZOLA, author of THE BOOK OF SECRETS 'A masterful novel, OBJECTS OF DESIRE is utterly irresistible; it's dark and wickedly fun. One of my favourite books of the year so far.' FLORA CARR, author of THE TOWER 'A biting, unflinching study of art and deceit . . . Neil Blackmore has achieved his best work yet.' ANNIE GARTHWAITE, author of CECILY *** Hugo Hunter was the most celebrated gay novelist of the 20th century. He published two masterpieces, securing his place alongside the dazzling literary greats of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and rubbing shoulders with everyone from Truman Capote to James Baldwin, Gore Vidal and George Orwell.But after decades of fame and excess, just as New York City enters the 1980s and awakes to the coming horror of AIDS, Hugo finds himself running out of money. Out of nowhere, he receives an extraordinary lifeline: an offer from his longtime publisher. Two million dollars, for a memoir and a new novel. The money will solve all his problems - except for one thing. Hugo Hunter is an imposter. He stole both of his novels. Now, how far will he go to produce a third? At once dark, moving and deliciously vicious, OBJECTS OF DESIRE traverses the 20th century, featuring an astonishing cast of characters. It is both a colourful glimpse into the lives of the cultural elite, and a tense, gripping story of betrayal, deceit, and literary fraud. *** Praise for Neil Blackmore 'An astounding story . . . I relished every page.' SIR IAN McKELLAN 'One of the most original voices in historical fiction today.' THE TIMES 'Compellingly real.' DAILY MAIL

Let Me Go Mad in My Own Way

International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

This book analyses what elements of legal regulation would best resolve the longstanding issues of imposition of terms and unfair terms in boilerplate 'contracts of adhesion'. The problem is not a new one, first recognised by Sir Frederick Pollock, but it has persisted over the intervening years. So though the question is a longstanding one, the answer provided by the book is truly innovative. It adopts a 'law in context' methodology to offer solutions. The new methodological approach is combined with insights from global regulatory theory and cutting edge solutions such as private collectivised proceedings and remedies, streamlined adjudication, and administrative enforcement systems. It takes a global approach, looking at models in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU. As the use of boilerplates is set only to increase as privatisation and globalisation spread, the answers provided by this book are much needed.
