From Beginner to Practitioner

Construction Law

'This new edition tells you all you need to know about how construction defects in homes occur, how they might be prevented, and how they might be cured.' &gt;The first edition of Residential Construction Law in 2021 offered the only systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction. Since then, there have been significant legislative and caselaw developments across the UK, Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Ireland. In this second edition, the authors and their team of specialist contributors have completely revised the content, taking these changes into account. This new edition refers to more than 350 new cases, along with ground-breaking reforms like the UK's Building Safety Act 2022 and lessons from the September 2024 Phase 2 report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. The book also anticipates planned reforms, including sweeping changes in several Australian states. &gt;Accompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsbury.pub/residential-construction-law

For the last thirty years, Eric Francis has covered crime in Vermont, the state with, according to the statistics, the lowest crime rate in the nation. But statistics are statistics and people are people, and Eric, who calls himself the last of the living dinosaurs, is out there day after day reporting on robberies, assaults, car accidents, and the rising tide of drug overdoses due to fentanyl. It's far from quiet in the safest state in the US. Every day brings something new and more often than not strange (in a Vermont way). As recently as six years ago, there would have been other reporters and photographers covering these stories. Now, in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, Eric is the only local journalist on the scene, any scene. This book chronicles the life and times of one of the very last people paying attention to what's really going on in a rural New England that only seems tranquil... Dispatches from individual lives, as they happen: Each short book originates in short confidences recorded by individuals during borrowed moments from their interesting lives. Set amidst some of our most pressing contemporary predicaments and edited by award-winning writers Peter Orner and Laura Lampton Scott, Dispatches captures some of the highs and lows of daily human endurance.

Modern Studies in European Law

This book presents a constructive exploration of the dilemmas the EU faces in regulating the risks of modern biotechnology. 

It comprehensively examines the current European framework applicable to the marketing of GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and its iterative reforms, in order to assess the regulatory character of the governance system in this controversial policy field.
 
The author situates the problems of the EU GMO regime in the broader context of 'post-state' regulation and discusses them in the light of some of the governance theories that were developed to respond in part to the dilemmas of risk regulation. The book contains analyses of the following issues: the EU laws pertinent to GM products; the approval procedures for placing GMOs on the market; the post-approval control system of commercialised products, as well as the respective judicial interpretations of the EU Court of Justice. The evaluation of the developed governance solutions is also presented.

The examination of the GMO governance reveals that the regime embodies different regulatory modes introduced by the EU which are combined in various forms in a way that frequently influences the adequacy of the adopted measures. The conclusion stemming from these findings suggests that the most appropriate solution for GMO policy in the EU is a reflexive and revisable combination of various regulatory approaches by policy-makers which will allow for the enforcement of their functions and the accommodation of different, often contradictory, policy needs.

This book explores the dilemmas the EU faces in regulating the risks of the modern world.

EU Governance of GMOs

This book explores the foundations of the principle of altruism and its relationship to the criminal law, examining the contrasting justifications for the duty of easy rescue and the duty of tolerance, both of which are based on altruism. Since the days of Lord Macaulay and James FitzJames Stephen, it has been said that English law does not usually punish omissions, and that altruistic duties are incompatible with the spirit of the common law. This book aims to show that this is not an accurate description of English criminal law, and that there is a strong case to be made for the opposite understanding, based on principles advanced by authors such as Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill and others. By analysing the duty of easy rescue - which imposes on individuals a duty to take steps to rescue a person in danger if this can be done without risk to the rescuer, or at least a duty to call the emergency services - and by comparing it with the well-known duties arising in cases of extreme necessity, it can be shown that altruism has plenty to say in different parts of the criminal law. Having established the case for criminalising the failure to provide a simple rescue, a detailed analysis is made of the form that this criminalisation should take, bearing in mind the basic principles of English law and considering the strengths and weaknesses of the duty of easy rescue as it is formulated in various continental systems, including the German, French, Spanish and Italian criminal codes.

Duties of Rescue and Tolerance

Altruism and the Criminal Law

This book explores the fascinating backstories and unexpected sequels of bigamous marriages from the 17th century to the present day. A woman remarries after hearing that her husband has drowned, only for him to turn up alive and well. Is she now a criminal? A deserted husband, unable to afford a divorce, finds happiness in a new union. How many did the same? A conman advertises for a wife and then disappears with her lifesavings; he has already done the same to many other women. How was he brought to justice? These are just a few of the hundreds of bigamous remarriages put under the microscope in Double Lives. As a companion volume to Double Trouble: Bigamy and the Law in England and Wales, 1604-2024, this book goes behind the law reports to reconstruct the stories of those involved. Drawing on archival sources, pamphlets, newspapers, census data, parish registers, divorce petitions and family histories, it shows the different forms that bigamy might take - accidental, consensual, deceptive or exploitative - and how bigamists' stories in turn helped to shape the law. Double Lives shows how bigamy should not be dismissed as a comical or victimless crime. Every case had its own complex mix of desire and deception, and, all too often, heartbreak for someone.
