Lerch A: Final Injunctions in Tort Law

Final Injunctions in Tort Law

This volume examines judicial decisions that have shaped the law of asylum and refugee protection. Each chapter analyses a single judicial decision and locates it in a wider legal, political and policy context, tracing its subsequent impact on refugee law and policy. Some of the decisions analysed in this collection were foundational in establishing the reach of refugee law, particularly in defining the scope of the refugee definition. Others engage with key areas of refugee rights in contexts which indicate a critical turning point in state refugee policy, such as interdiction of boats at sea, encampment and extraterritorial asylum processing mechanisms. The contributions demonstrate how refugee protection is shaped by the intersection of different fields of law, including refugee law, human rights law, and domestic constitutional provisions. Reflecting this complexity, the collection explores decisions from the UK, Canada, USA, Kenya, Australia and Papua New Guinea, as well as regional courts including the European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and decisions of the United Nations Human Rights treaty bodies. Authors include leading academics and practitioners in refugee and human rights law from a range of jurisdictions. This book offers compelling insights for anyone with an interest in international refugee protection, human rights, and the development of international refugee law.

International Jurisprudence on the Rights of Refugees

Landmark Cases in International Refugee Protection

This book re-examines the origins and development of the laws of war and human rights law and exposes an overlooked provision of the European Convention on Human Rights which permits the use of lethal force where absolutely necessary to quell an insurrection. When civilian casualties occur in internal armed conflicts, questions are asked about how civilians can be better protected against the use of force by armed insurgents and state security forces. The laws of war include protection against the targeting of civilians but permit the use of force based on 'military necessity' and allow 'proportionate' civilian casualties. Where those laws do not apply, the use of force is generally seen as being limited to self-defence. This creates paradigms of armed conflict and law-enforcement with very different rules. The paradigms are then treated by governments and other actors as being separate and divided by a threshold of violence, when, in practice, they overlap, both in the conduct of military operations and, this book argues, as a matter of law. Revisiting the law provides the opportunity to reassess the benefits and risks of the existing paradigms and consider how applying the provision permitting the use of lethal force in quelling an insurrection would affect them. The book concludes that it offers a middle way based on the existing law, but it requires wider recognition and development in order to achieve a more appropriate balance between human rights and collective security.

Lethal Force, Human Rights and the Laws of War

Quelling Insurrection

This book presents a contemporary perspective on legal rights centred on the longstanding will theory-interest theory debate. Starting with classical rights literature, central aspects of the debate in its modern idiom are contextualised within a social theory setting developed from the writings of Max Weber. The book explores the idea that the institutional and coercive character of legal enforcement necessitates viewing legal rights as a locus of social power residing within the 'institutional imagination': that is, in the decision-making of key institutional actors such as judges, prosecutors, police, governmental authorities - and ultimately supreme court judges - who routinely mobilise coercive mechanisms towards the enforcement of legal rights and powers. This marks a departure from the trend of rights literature to view legal rights largely from the standpoint of the right-holder. The book also touches on whether the emerging perspective points towards a 'third way' beyond the traditional two theoretical approaches. A major task of the study is the construction of an archetypal supreme court judge - personifying the 'institutional imagination' - fashioned, via Weberian sociology, from a critique of Ronald Dworkin's 'Herculean' judge and measured against doctrinal exegesis that draws on sources which include UK higher appellate court judgments.

From 1974 to 2003, New Orleans had one man serve as its district attorney: Harry Connick Sr. That same time span marked a period of sharply rising incarceration rates and changing opinions about law and order, both locally and nationally. Louisiana in particular eventually gained the reputation of being the country's most incarcerated state; New Orleans, as its biggest city, bore much of the responsibility for earning it that designation. Connick was known for his tough-on-crime approach to prosecution, forcefully employing old and new legal strategies to send droves of defendants to jail and prison, often for as long as possible. 	 	 	Connick was popular enough with voters to be re-elected four times, a long tenure that is particularly notable given the increase in Black political presence and power in New Orleans during that time. His multiple re-elections were evidence that enough of the city's Black voters supported his policies to keep him as DA, even when he faced spirited opposition from Black candidates who tried to show constituents how Connick had failed them. However, by the time of his retirement in 2003, Connick's reputation had begun to suffer as revelations of shocking prosecutorial misconduct in his office emerged. Over the past twenty years, those revelations have only increased in number and scope. Connick, now deceased, has left a fractured legacy whose reverberations continue to be felt in New Orleans. 	 	 	Susan Penman's Uncertain Justice shows what Connick's office was like during the decades he was in power: how it was situated politically, what steps it took to curb crime at a time when so many New Orleanians were concerned about violence, and what locals perceived about how it functioned—and in turn how they either supported or questioned Connick's policies. Penman demonstrates the vast influence a district attorney possesses and how that influence manifests locally through legislation, office practices, and political sway. Uncertain Justice sits at the nexus of carceral studies and history by exploring how one man, at the helm of a very powerful office, navigated shifting political currents and exercised immense authority throughout many crucial years.

Uncertain Justice

This book sets out the future directions for UK consumer law and policy. After decades of EU-driven development, the continuous improvement of UK consumer law and policy has stalled since Brexit. Yet, there are major challenges, including the progressive digitalisation of the consumer environment, the need to reconcile sustainability with consumption, and the need for better crisis resilience, alongside more specific concerns such as better enforcement or subscription contracts. The disruption caused by Brexit demands a comprehensive solution to ensure that UK consumer law and policy remains current and robust rather than becoming moribund. It also presents an opportunity for realigning UK consumer law and policy towards a consumer-centric focus and to develop innovative solutions to contemporary consumer challenges. With original contributions from leading consumer law scholars, the book shows how the UK could develop in response to both major and specific challenges. Topics include a historical perspective on consumer law, consumer law reform, the implications of Brexit, vulnerability, changing paradigms, challenges in the context of financial services and digital consumer law, and enforcement.

The leading Spanish language treatise on the law on torts has now been translated into English, making it accessible to jurists, scholars and practitioners throughout the world. It addresses the central analytical questions in modern tort theory by reference to first principles, explaining how doctrinal tension has resulted from the law's evolution. The book also offers a theoretical framework for understanding and analysing the doctrines behind the main tort rules found in different jurisdictions, including their interrelationship and historical development. Steeped in Chilean legal doctrine and case law on torts, it also considers authorities from Britain, Germany, the USA, France and Spain. This is a magisterial and important work.

The Arms Trade, Corporate Accountability and International Law

Adopting distinct and new perspectives to analyse VAT policy and practice, this book explores the key design challenges and opportunities faced by VAT jurisdictions in the 21st century. The book shows how the VAT, the world's most preferred form of consumption tax, has failed to live up to the expectations of its advocates since its earliest iterations about a century ago. It identifies and explains the gaps between VAT theory and practice, drawing on lessons from recent international experience. The book begins with an analysis of key design features of VAT systems, including concessions, registration thresholds and small business regimes. It goes on to explore more complex issues, such as the application of the tax to financial supplies, sharing economy transactions, and international cross-border sales, as well as the treatment of transactions and revenue within jurisdictions that operate under multiple-tiered systems of government.These issues represent challenges commonly encountered in VAT jurisdictions in modern economies. The work outlines innovative and realistic reform proposals for a VAT suitable for a 21st century economy that are grounded in economic principles and at the same time, practicable in terms of law, policy, and administration. It factors in, in particular, the political, technical, and administrative realities that policymakers in VAT jurisdictions must navigate when developing reform programmes. With guidance on VAT design and implementation for policymakers and law drafters, the book is also a valuable resource for academics, students, and practitioners interested in VAT policy and practice, and the interactions between tax law, policy and economic principles.
