Thiemann M: Das Pfandrecht in der
diokletianischen Reskriptenpraxis

Das Pfandrecht in der diokletianischen Reskriptenpraxis

Late medieval Bruges was a commercial hub that connected Hanseatic, English, Scottish, Portuguese, Spanish, Aragonese, and Italian traders. This book focuses on the conflict resolution of the aldermen and how merchants operated within this legal framework. The key question being whether Bruges was a city of justice. Although this was sometimes claimed by travellers, a lot of merchants confronted with the practicalities of conflict resolution in Bruges, disagreed. Fieremans analyses how customary law, institutional frameworks, and commerce intersected and were challenged by the aldermen's pursuit of justice. By clarifying the working of the aldermen, it advances our knowledge of the basic mechanisms of a late medieval law court and the evolution of the law courts of late medieval Flanders. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book focuses on the interplay between commerce and justice, explores the diverse merchant communities, and considers the potential lessons it offers for understanding both historical and modern markets. It sheds light on the pragmatic legal culture of Bruges and the legal mechanisms that partially regulate commerce.

Foreign Merchants in a City of Justice

Law, Leverage, and Litigation in Late Medieval Bruges

When did the federal government's self-appointed, essentially limitless authority over Native America become constitutional?&nbsp;&nbsp;The story they have chosen to tell is wrong. It is time to tell a better story. Thus begins Keith Richotte's playful, unconventional look at Native American and Supreme Court history. At the center of his account is the mystery of a massive federal authority called plenary power.&nbsp;&nbsp;When the Supreme Court first embraced plenary power in the 1880s it did not bother to seek any legal justification for the decision – it was simply rooted in racist ideas about tribal nations. By the 21st century, however, the Supreme Court was telling a different story, with opinions crediting the U.S. Constitution as the explicit source of federal plenary power.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, when did the Supreme Court change its story? Just as importantly, why did it change its story? And what does this change mean for Native America, the Supreme Court, and the rule of law? In a unique twist on legal and Native history, Richotte uses the genre of trickster stories to uncover the answers to these questions and offer an alternative understanding.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Worst Trickster Story Ever Told provides an irreverent, entertaining synthesis of Native American legal history across more than 100 years, reflecting on race, power, and sovereignty along the way. By embracing the subtle, winking wisdom of trickster stories, and centering the Indigenous perspective, Richotte opens up new avenues for understanding this history. We are able, then, to imagine a future that is more just, equitable, and that better fulfills the text and the spirit of the Constitution.

Native America, the Supreme Court, and the U.S. Constitution

The Worst Trickster Story Ever Told

Ius Romanum

In Late Antiquity, private individuals could acquire land or other assets through acts of the emperor or the administration. These often originated from confiscations, e.g. of estates without heirs (
 bona vacantia
 , 
 caduca
 ), the property of convicted criminals (
 bona damnatorum
 ), or ownerless slaves (
 vaga mancipia
 ). Since the 
 fiscus
 was often unable to make economically effective use of these assets, and the emperor was under political pressure to reward influential individuals, they were frequently transferred - sometimes for payment, but often free of charge. In this context, a procedure developed whereby beneficiaries could petition for an imperial grant by means of a 
 petitio
 .
 

 By analysing Late Antique imperial constitutions, the study examines this procedure, as well as the private-law status of the recipients. The analysis shows that they generally acquired ownership - even where the assets had not belonged to the 
 fiscus
 . As Roman law in principle did not allow acquisition in good faith from a non-owner, this form of acquisition is best understood as one effected by sovereign act.
 

 At the same time, it becomes clear that Late Antique emperors established nuanced and carefully considered rules and sought to achieve a fair balance of interests. A decline in legal culture, as suggested by the theory of so-called Late Antique vulgar law, cannot be observed.

Liberalitas legibus et aequitate subnixa

This book examines the Royal Commissions on Patent (1864) and Copyright (1878) by exploring the people, procedures, and politics behind into intellectual property reform of the late nineteenth century. In examining copyright and patent law from the ground up, commission members were necessarily forced to grapple with fundamental questions about the nature of property itself. Commissioners' views on the nature and purpose of copyright and patent influenced their views on how far the rights should extend-in time, geography, and scope. Close analysis of the Commissions provides insight into our own debates about the nature of intellectual property and provide a model for future attempts at law reform. The book is a contribution to the history not only of intellectual property law but also of royal commissions in the nineteenth century. The author gives a well-rounded picture of developments in thought about intellectual property as a whole in the period, which are still critical in the way we understand and approach the subject today.

This monograph examines the Royal Commissions on Patent (1864) and Copyright (1878) by exploring the people, procedures, and politics behind these in-depth inquiries into intellectual property reform of the latter half of the nineteenth century, and by placing them within their historical and ideological context.

Studies in Australian Law, Politics and History

This book lays out a roadmap for establishing common law recognition of Aboriginal customary law in Australia. Currently, Aboriginal customary law is recognised in limited circumstances through native title, which applies only to rights and interests over traditional lands or waters. This book argues that, if a carefully constructed claim is accepted by an Australian Court, Aboriginal customary law could potentially be recognised across a wide range of legal areas, including criminal law, family law, succession, environmental law, and criminal procedure. Importantly, this would also afford legal recognition to organic Indigenous governance structures. It also proposes a roadmap for establishing a hybrid equitable-constitutional fiduciary obligation that the Crown would owe Indigenous Australians. This could provide valuable protections to Indigenous rights and societies from impositions made by legislatures and executives purporting to exercise powers under the 
 Australian Constitution. Distinctive in its approach, this volume is among the first post-2020 works to explore a common law pathway for recognising and furthering the rights of Indigenous societies, governance systems, and legal frameworks, at a time when most scholarship has focused on express constitutional recognition or recognition via treaties and agreements (notably in Victoria).
 The book builds on the landmark High Court decision in 
 Love v Commonwealth 
 (2020), where the Court recognised that Aboriginal Australians, owing to their enduring connection to country, could not be considered ‘aliens’ under the 
 Constitution
 . While 
 Love 
 initially addressed alienage and constitutional protections, this work argues that its reasoning opens the door to broader common law recognition of Indigenous Australians’ rights, laws, and governance structures, beyond the scope of native title.
 Through careful legal analysis and a proposed claims framework, this book contributes to an emergent body of scholarship exploring the legal consequences of recognizing Aboriginal Australians’ enduring connection to country, offering a path toward meaningful expansion of Indigenous legal recognition in Australia, and bringing Australian law closer to the more progressive Indigenous rights doctrines of common law North America.

Law, Love and Australia’s Unfinished Retreat from Terra Nullius

This book champions the work of women in legal history, and their contributions to both the discipline and feminist activism over nearly two centuries. It considers women in academia, which was, in theory, open to women before they could become lawyers in most European countries. And it considers women working beyond the academy: many studied legal history in other ways; in local history societies, through archival work, and via activism.Women legal historians have been under-recognised or forgotten altogether, even where they made substantial scholarly contributions. In focusing on the work of women in legal history, this book lays the foundations for a transformational reassessment of the discipline. It asks searching questions about what counts as legal history. It demonstrates that work by and about women should appear in our legal history courses, be discussed in our seminars, and be cited in our academic work. If the field of legal history is lively, innovative, and wide-ranging, everyone working in it benefits. By shining a light on undervalued scholarship, and areas which have received insufficient attention, we challenge assumptions in our discipline and advance its methods. Whilst some women were pioneers and worked to change gendered aspects of the law, others led more ordinary lives, disappearing from the gaze of legal history even as they contributed to it. This book tells some of their stories.

Making and Shaping a Discipline

Celebrating Women in Legal History

This book provides a fresh and original approach to the critical and contextual appreciation of Roman law and culture. The great 'codes', such as those of Theodosius and Justinian, have rightly assumed a canonical status in the reception of Roman law. But they are not the only sources of this law. Law finds various expression in any culture, in essays, treatises, and testaments, plays, poems and novels. This book investigates this 'other' writing of Roman law. In the process it introduces the reader to a variety of Roman orators, poets and political writers, from Cicero and Seneca to Ovid and Apuleius, Plautus and Pliny. It also introduces the reader to a variety of areas of Roman law, from matters of governance and public philosophy to the politics of family and sexuality, the regulation of religion, the proscription of sorcery and the protection of the consumer. And finally, it introduces the reader to all of the peculiarities of Roman law too, the kind with which the past always teases the present. Why did Cicero's tongue end up nailed to a board in the forum in Rome? What role did Seneca play in the murder of Nero's mother? What did Ovid see, and why did it earn the wrath of his emperor? What magic did the orator Apuleius possess, and how did he use it? And what does the spread of Christianity owe to the younger Pliny? These are just a few of the collateral questions which the reader is invited to ponder in this fresh and exciting engagement with one of the most intriguing, and influential, legal systems in world history.

The Failure of Diplomacy

Instruments of Peacemaking 1918-1941

The untold stories behind New Zealand's tax system through the analysis of the critical junctures in the development of New Zealand tax law and policy. From the 1912 Waihi mining strike to modern asset-stripping rules, from century-old gambling taxes to decades-long debates over the taxation of capital gains, this book reveals the fascinating threads that weave through New Zealand's tax history. Bringing together the insights of judges, policymakers, administrators, and practitioners who have shaped the system, along with inputs from tax academics, this book offers both intimate personal accounts and authoritative outside perspectives on how taxation evolved in Aotearoa and what other countries can learn from it. Why has New Zealand debated a comprehensive capital gains tax for nearly sixty years without implementing one? How did public-private cooperation forge unique policy solutions? How has New Zealand both inspired international tax developments and boldly charted its own course, often diverging from the OECD's tax guidance? These questions and many more are answered through rigorous analysis and compelling storytelling. Whether you are a tax professional, a policy analyst, a tax scholar, a student, or simply curious about the history of taxation, this collection offers invaluable insights into one of the world's most competitive, and yet cohesively consultative, tax systems.

Critical Junctures and Development

New Zealand Tax Law and Policy

This book provides the first in-depth study of the crime of bigamy from the 17th century to the present day. Between 1604 and 2024, around 30,000 individuals were prosecuted for bigamy in England and Wales. A few were able to establish a defence to the charge, but most were convicted. How they were punished varied hugely across the centuries - from execution, branding, whipping, transportation, and imprisonment through to fines and community service. Double Trouble details the legal framework that underpinned such prosecutions. As a companion volume to Double Lives: Stories of Bigamy in England and Wales, 1604-2024, it sets the offence in the context of the changing laws on marriage and divorce, and examines the consequences of bigamy for those involved, including the remedies that were available to the often-deceived second spouse. Drawing on a wide array of sources from the 17th century to the present day, including formal law reports, legal treatises, newspapers, censuses, parish registers, divorce petitions and Parliamentary debates, this book shows how bigamy should be taken seriously as an offence that all too often involved deception, abandonment and heartbreak.
