Carruthers I: Limitation of Actions in
England and Wales

Limitation of Actions in England and Wales

Tort law refers to the system of laws governing civil wrongdoing. The bedrock for vital government functions, it is most visible during legal disputes related to common activities, like driving a car and receiving medical care. It's quotidian nature makes tort a useful entry point for assessing Americans' perceptions of today's "post-truth" political landscape. Sensationalized accounts of these encounters with the law reflect broader opinions about the state and each other, across the political spectrum. Conservatives, for example, exaggerate the prevalence of frivolous claims, while liberals describe the role of tort as holding reckless corporations accountable. &nbsp;&nbsp;In this book, the authors map these debates onto the mythology of rugged American individualism, which privileges both stoic self-reliance and standing up to powerful interests. They explore attitudes towards claimants and claims in three policy areas: medical malpractice, auto collisions, and premises liability. <the rugged="" litigant="" deftly="" weaves="" a="" story="" of="" complex="" and="" layered="" preferences="" that="" defy="" conventional="" accounts="" culture="" wars,="" ultimately,="" display="" shocking="" degree="" consensus:="" people="" believe="" litigation="" should="" be="" an="" option="" -="" when="" used="" as="" last="" resort.="" these="" findings="" offer="" novel="" roadmap="" for="" countering="" the="" seemingly="" intractable="" polarization="" in="" today&#39;s="" politics.="" <="" p=""></the>

Studies of the Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law

Drawing on the experience of recognised experts from across a range of different fields and jurisdictions, this landmark publication tackles default rules in private law in comparative perspective. Often underestimated, but highly influential, default rules are non-mandatory rules that kick in where nothing else has been agreed or provided. The contributions explore default rules from a variety of angles relevant to both scholarship and legal practice, including: · behavioural aspects and the role of platform terms in the digital age; · the remit and operation of defaults in different areas, ranging from contract and commercial law to succession, civil procedure and private international law; · a comparison between Common law and Civilian approaches as well as the EU level; · the perspectives of different 'players' engaged in the generation and application of default rules.

Default Rules in Private Law

This innovative work offers a new perspective on the established tort of misuse of private information, contending that English law has evolved a sophisticated mechanism for the protection of privacy and the protection of the economic value in private information. Although information generally is not property, private information now appears to be treated by English law as a form of property, giving the owner of the information rights of exclusion, exploitation and transfer. Balancing philosophical discussion of the fundamentals with a detailed analysis of the practical difficulties of "propertising" information, the book suggests that English law has evolved a powerful tool for the protection of privacy in this data-driven world.

Privacy as Property

International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

This book examines the English and German version of the numerus clausus principle which holds that there is a closed list of permitted property rights. It challenges recent views that the principle renders property law inflexible and unable to accommodate social and economic changes. Relying on a novel approach combining property theory and comparative research of English and German law, it argues that the restrictions the principle imposes on the creation of new property types actually does accommodate social changes through a process of 'functional transformation' of the existing property rights. This is a fascinating, unique study, that makes a rigorous, original contribution to property law theory.

A Comparative Approach to the Principle of Numerus Clausus

Stability and Change in Modern Property Law

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book provides a comprehensive study of two parallel notions of civil and common law: cause and consideration. It does this in three ways; with historical, comparative, and functional perspectives. Aspects of cause and consideration are hotly contested by contract lawyers and this book will bring clarity by looking at the English and Continental positions. Key areas of focus include: enforceability, questions of legality and morality, contractual justice, and the correction of unjustified property displacements. Bringing together a team of experts, the book discusses (in some cases for the first time in English) complex questions of both academic and practical importance.
