Hart Studies in Private Law

This ambitious and important book explores the new concept of the doctor-patient relationship, told from the private law perspective. The doctor-patient relationship differs from others in negligence law. Doctors are required to take positive action and, therefore, can be held liable for omissions. However, because actionable damage is almost exclusively confined to physical injury, the significance of a doctor's liability for failing to confer a benefit has gotten lost along the way. This aspect of the doctor's positive duty is overlooked in both the case law and the literature - and, this book identifies it as the principal barrier to protecting interests other than bodily integrity in medical negligence law. The book sets out a novel theoretical framework in which the reconceptualised doctor's 'positive duty to take care' of a patient's interests justifies an expanded concept of actionable damage beyond physical injury - ensuring that the reasons for requiring doctors to act positively are carried through to the damage enquiry. The book identifies that the leading cases causing challenges to coherency in medical negligence are those involving patient choice: Rees v Darlington Memorial Hospital, McFarlane v Tayside Health Board, Meadows v Khan, ACB v Thomson Medical Pte Ltd, Chester v Afshar, Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board, Gregg v Scott, and Philp v Ryan. Rather than treating patient autonomy as a source of doctrinal difficulty, this book offers a new way of thinking about the doctor-patient relationship to accommodate autonomy related interests and real world effects of medical negligence separate from physical injury. The theoretical account of the doctor's positive duty and its consequences for actionable damage reveals what is distinctive about the doctor-patient relationship amongst other relationships giving rise to liability for omissions. It suggests how novel harms in medical negligence might be accommodated - including the potential for tort law in this area to reflect fundamental values in constitutional rights in Ireland and ECHR rights in the UK, and how the non-pecuniary losses could be quantified and compensated. While common law of Ireland and the UK takes centre stage, the analysis draws on other common law jurisdictions and on Irish constitutional law.

Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism

“Holm’s goal is to clarify and assess F. A. Hayek’s critique of legislation. The author knows the extant literature intimately and brings an interdisciplinary sensibility to his task. The result is a carefully-argued and original contribution to Hayekian studies. “–Bruce Caldwell
 , Research Professor of Economics, Director, Center for the History of Political Economy, Duke University, USA and the author of 
 Hayek's&nbsp;Challenge 
 and 
 Hayek: A Life"This book is an in-depth treatment of F. A. Hayek's incomparable 20th Century contributions to the study of rules, order, and economy."–Vernon Smith
 , Professor of Economics and Law at Chapman University, USA, and 2002 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics
 This book argues for a comprehensive reframing of Friedrich Hayek, one of the most influential economic and social thinkers of the twentieth century. Its focus is on the role of legal philosophy and legislation in understanding Hayek's views on social and economic planning, and in particular his critique of socialism.The book examines Hayek's later works on the shortcomings of legislation as the primary political tool used by governments to coerce otherwise free economic activity. It argues that Hayek's view of social and especially legal rules equates to a reformulation of his critique of planned economies, which has so far been understood in purely economic terms. The book argues&nbsp;that Hayek should be considered an important scholar in the realm of complexity theory, showing that his writing on intertwined legal and economic systems paved the way for a greater understanding of how individual agents and the 'spontaneous order' of the economy is inevitably regulated by the rational social order brought about by moral and legal rules and institutions. The book itself seeks to break the tradition of studying Hayek's work from isolated legal or economic lenses. Cyril Holm 
 is an Associate Professor of Law at Karlstad University, Sweden. His academic background is in economics, the history of science and legal philosophy, the latter of which is currently his primary research interest. He has teaching and research experience at the interface of law, economics, complexity theory, technology and future studies.&nbsp;

International Law Reports

Decisions of international courts and arbitrators, as well as judgments of national courts, are fundamental elements of modern public international law. The International Law Reports is wholly devoted to the regular and systematic reporting in English of such decisions. It is therefore an absolutely essential work of reference. Volume 215 includes 2022 decision on admissibility and 2025 judgment on the merits of the European Court of Human Rights in Ukraine and the Netherlands v. Russia.

Masterpieces of Contemporary Jurisprudents in China

This book is the first academic monograph in China to comprehensively examine the concept, principles, and system of civil law from an ethical point of view. Under the background that China has promulgated the Civil Code, it is necessary to analyze the relevant contents of the Civil Code from all aspects, in depth and from various angles. The basic point of view is that China’s Civil Code should not only consider the advanced nature, but also take into account the national character, sublimation, and inheritance, and to meet the needs of modern society and demonstrate the ethical value. This book is highly readable, not only for professional research groups, but also for students and ordinary readers interested in Chinese civil law. This book is designated as a required reading list for law majors in many universities across China and is also published in Taiwan (PRC) and Japan.

Die Fallsammlung enthält ausformulierte Lösungen vor allem zum Recht der ungerechtfertigten Bereicherung, zur Geschäftsführung ohne Auftrag und zum Deliktsrecht und trifft damit (auch in der Gewichtung) den typischen Bedarf von Prüfungskandidaten. Dem Leser wird freilich nicht nur die gutachtliche Bearbeitung vorgeführt, sondern zugleich der relevante Stoff in geeigneter Auswahl nähergebracht. Denn die gesetzlichen Schuldverhältnisse gelten mit Recht als schwieriger Stoff. Man denke an die bereicherungsrechtlichen Mehrpersonenverhältnisse, den tückischen § 817 Satz 2 BGB sowie an die berühmte Saldotheorie, ebenso an die tatbestandliche Ausdehnung der Geschäftsführung ohne Auftrag und schließlich an die Unschärfen in der Lehre von den Verkehrspflichten. All diese Komplikationen sorgen dafür, dass ein Schlüsselverständnis nicht ausreicht. Vielmehr müssen sich Studierende viele Probleme über mühsam angeeignetes Detailwissen erschließen. Dennoch setzen die hier vorgestellten Lösungen vor allem auf das »Verstehen« und haben so häufig eine recht kritische Sicht auf die Rechtsprechung.

The Future of Private Law

This open access book explores the relationship between consumer law and global value chains (GVCs). Conceptually rigorous, it analyses EU approaches to regulation and to consumer policy oriented to safety, sustainability and market regulation. In so doing, it throws the disconnect between GVCs and consumer law into sharp relief. In response, the author argues that GVCs are a plausible venue for reconsidering consumers as regulatory actors in the global economy. This would enable both consumer protection and EU's decentralised social ordering (based on private regulation) to be accommodated. Innovative and thought-provoking, this is an important contribution to debates on EU consumer law. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.
