Gold D: Democracy and the Courts

Democracy and the Courts

The Rise of Judicial Elections in the Antebellum South

This book explores how different legal systems handle a particularly difficult type of corporate wrongdoing: Catholic dioceses' responsibility for child sexual abuse. Usually, when people think about corporate wrongdoing, they think about tax fraud, insider trading, and similar 'white-collar' crime. As corporations, dioceses' responsibility for child sexual abuse exists separately from that of individual perpetrators, and this corporate responsibility is the focus of this book. Through an analysis of cases involving dioceses that have significant documented histories of priests abusing children, this book illustrates how criminal law, canon law, tort law, bankruptcy law and an Australian Royal Commission have responded (or why they have not). The cases involve the Diocese of Ballarat, in Victoria, Australia, and the Diocese of Gallup, in northern Arizona and New Mexico, in the United States. Each diocese faced similar claims in a diverse field of legal systems, so very different legal systems were handling, in essence, the same cases in dissimilar contexts. Employing a novel interdisciplinary approach, the book traces the theories, purposes, doctrines, procedures, and logistics of engaging with these different legal systems - evaluating what they can and cannot do. Revitalising theories of responsive law, the book demonstrates that it is possible for legal systems to better hold not just Catholic dioceses, but corporations more generally, to account for wrongdoing, but we may need to rethink how those systems are structured.

In this book, contributors go in-depth to analyze the 'crime of aggression', 'crimes against humanity' and their applicability in the context of the invasion of Ukraine. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine brings the principles of Nuremberg to the forefront of discussions on justice, raising questions about the feasibility of Nuremberg-style accountability. The book touches upon the abduction of Ukrainian children and the destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage. Contributors also discuss the topic of war crime tribunals after Nuremberg, including Timor and former Yugoslavia, as well as tribunals in Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and others leading up to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Including essays by Oleksandra Matviichuk, the Ukrainian Nobel Laureate, and Ambassador Dr. Anton Korynevych, Ukrainian minister and specialist in international law, this book considers the contemporary relevance of the Nuremberg principles in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Double Lives

This book gives extraordinary new insights into the legal, political and industrial strife in the UK of the early 1970s, focusing on the National Industrial Relations Court and how its independence came to be injured at a time of national crisis. Constitutional and employment lawyers, and indeed anyone interested in the history of the times, will not want to be without this deeply researched yet entertaining work. When the Heath Government came to power in 1970, it set up the National Industrial Relations Court to referee highly contentious disputes between unions and employers. Regarded with hostility by the labour movement from the start, the Court and its President, Sir John Donaldson, faced mounting suspicion, and were regularly front-page news. When Donaldson jailed five dockers in 1972 - the Pentonville Five - for defying the Court's orders, strikes erupted and the docks closed. With the country's food supplies dwindling, a state of emergency loomed. How had it come to this? Could a way through be found? This is a revelatory account of the National Industrial Relations Court's defining crisis, set in the context of a wider, and frequently startling, exposition of how Donaldson went about his role as its President. Peter Oldham KC combines decades of experience as a barrister with archival research to shine a bright new light on how and why the Court found itself doing - in Donaldson's own words - 'rather peculiar things'.

'Rather Peculiar Things'

Law and Politics at the National Industrial Relations Court 1970-75

This edited collection explores the question of how those with limited capacity are enabled to take their part as members of society within the context of both a legal framework and the expectations of their family and community. The book is divided into three parts, firstly looking at the current legal position on incapacity in a number of jurisdictions. It discusses the recent European project FLEUR, and the associated debates developing around whether legislation dealing with incapacity should aim to support or control the vulnerable person. Secondly, the book looks at the experience of families with vulnerable members. Chapters examine developments in Australia, Spain, Bulgaria and Argentina, while part three looks at France, Turkey, Canada, the Netherlands, Poland and Ukraine. It asks questions such as: What are the contemporary demands for full financial protection by the state in the Netherlands? What can happen in an emergency? How did the Polish system provide for the needs of refugees in wartime, in the case of the recent flight from Ukraine into Poland? An important dimension is added to the debate, asking how we can provide support and control within a social network or group whose members have different aims and needs in a family or a community.

Double Trouble

Studies in the History of Tax Law

This book is a continuation of the prestigious series investigating current tax policy debates in an historical context. The authors are a mix of senior tax professionals from academia, the judiciary, and practice, with representatives from 9 countries. The chapters fall within 3 basic categories: 1. UK tax, looking at a variety of topics ranging from income tax (introduction and deduction at source), tax administration (Scotland), cases and judges (Lord Wilberforce), to the Peasants' Revolt, indirect taxation (tonnage tax and excise), and tax concepts (beneficial ownership). 2. International taxation, with chapters on the origins of the international income tax order, the UN (1950s and 60s), and VAT (origins and procedure). 3. Non-UK tax systems, including chapters on income tax in Singapore and early developments in Japan, South Africa (GAAR), an influential Canadian report (Carter Commission), taxation in classical Athens, and in the medieval Italian city-states. Collecting papers from the biennial Cambridge Tax Law History Conference, the book is a key resource for those interested in tax law and legal history.
