McMahon B: McMahon and Binchy on the Law
of Torts

McMahon and Binchy on the Law of Torts

Civil Justice Systems

Consumer Adr: Volume II

This landmark collection provides new insights, concepts and techniques to understand and respond to tort claims based on illegal conduct. It is the first comparative study of this difficult field, which has remained contested despite numerous decisions of the highest courts in the common law world. The collection draws on scholars from common law and civilian jurisdictions spanning Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa and Sweden. Together they set out fact patterns, and justifications for tort liability to illustrate the coherence and unity that exists when courts address such claims. While common law legal systems have developed a specific defence of illegality for some of those fact patterns, civilian jurisdictions tend to see illegality operating, if at all, through the existing components of tort liability. The book explains how these different approaches have been reached, how they work, and what they reveal about reasoning in tort.

Fun and Games

This masterful work brings together the crème de la crème of EU law academics and practitioners in celebration of the life and work of Eleanor Sharpston, KC.


As one of the foremost Advocates General serving the Court of Justice, her opinions shaped various aspects of EU procedural and substantive law. Many of them have quickly become classics (Ruiz Zambrano, Sturgeon,Miles, Bougnaoui, and Farrell II) and they will continue to shape EU law for decades to come. Her contribution and legacy is expertly assessed over six parts of this book spanning: her career: EU constitutional law; fundamental rights and citizenship; litigation; internal market; and external relations. This is a worthy commentary on a truly remarkable legal legacy.

Pursuit of Legal Harmony in a Turbulent Europe

Residential Tenancies

The MIBI Agreements and the Law

Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers face relentless and costly waves of product liability claims across U.S. federal and state courts, spanning individual suits, consolidated multidistrict litigation and coordinated proceedings, multi-plaintiff actions, and class actions. As this complex area of litigation continues to expand-often into more treacherous and plaintiff-friendly venues-the stakes for getting strategy right, early and often, have never been higher. The third edition of Drug and Device Product Liability Litigation Strategy equips litigators with clear, practical guidance from pre-litigation investigations through trial. Reflecting significant developments since the prior edition, it distills the current and evolving legal landscape impacting drug and device lawyers, and offers actionable analysis on the issues that are most likely to influence outcomes: pre-litigation investigation and risk assessment, document preservation and fact discovery, coordination in MDLs and state proceedings, class action challenges, developments in preemption and personal jurisdiction case law, admissibility of expert testimony, dispositive and pre-trial motion practice, jury selection, and trial strategy. This edition highlights strategic inflection points and delivers practice-oriented insights to streamline case management and sharpen advocacy. With its emphasis on strategy and results, it is an indispensable resource for lawyers navigating high-profile drug and device litigation in a continually shifting environment.

Drug and Device Product Liability Litigation Strategy

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 is different to others. Doctors are required to take positive action when dealing with patients and, accordingly, can be held liable for omissions. However, due to the strict adherence to physical injury as the dominant form of damage in negligence law, a doctor's duty of care is operating, in effect, as a duty not to negligently cause physical injury. This book identifies this to be the main barrier to protecting interests other than bodily integrity in medical negligence law. By so doing, it sets out a new duty of care framework: namely that a doctor would owe a 'positive duty to take care' of the patient's interests. This would ensure that the reasons for requiring doctors to take positive action would be carried through to the damage enquiry. Damage would either not be necessary, or would be expanded to include interests other than bodily integrity. It offers an important and ambitious new way of thinking about the doctor-patient relationship.

A Doctor’s Duty to Take Care

Redefining the Medical Negligence Action

The edited volume explores the building blocks of the new EU Product Liability Directive. Offering normative and comparative perspectives, it examines its role within the broader legislative framework. The volume also looks specifically at its application to artificial intelligence. Rigorous and comprehensive, it is a magisterial overview of this transformational legislation.

New Product Liability Directive

Previously known as Drafting Agreements in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries, this title provides precedent agreements for the main types of commercial transaction encountered in the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to the print version, each precedent is available via an accompanying website in a format which can be easily downloaded and edited. Detailed commentary on legal, commercial and practice issues accompanies every precedent. Provided by specialist lawyers from across Europe, this commentary also highlights important differences between English law and that of other key EU jurisdictions: Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Commentary on specific considerations for the US is also provided. In addition to precedent commentaries, the book also contains detailed commentary and discussion of legal issues common to the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as links to relevant materials (eg regulatory materials on clinical trials). This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Intellectual Property and IT online service.

Commonwealth Caribbean Law

Commonwealth Caribbean Criminal Law

This book examines what is often a "bet-the-company" area of construction law. In the last two decades, the federal government and whistleblowers have prosecuted billions of dollars in claims brought under the False Claims Act, with a substantial number arising from construction projects. There are many ways that construction projects can fall under the False Claims Act, including making one or more false payment applications or filing a false statement which is just part of a request for compensation. The civil penalties are severe: statutory penalties plus treble the amount of damages sustained by the government because of the fraud.False Claims in Construction Contracts, Second Edition is an essential desk book for civil and criminal litigators, as well as transactional counselors of contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, design professionals, project and construction managers, and even project owners. It provides a complete grounding in a complex and often intimidating area of federal and state law. It begins with a brief history and overview of the act, focusing on the sweeping changes made in the 1986 overhaul. A subsequent chapter details the steps and procedural issues involved in a private citizen bringing an action under the False Claims Act (FCA), also known as a qui tam action. The balance of False Claims in Construction Contracts focuses on all aspects of construction-related claims under the FCA, including discussion of the landmark Daewoo case.Topics covered: <ul><li>Bid rigging and collusive bids</li><li>FCA claims for false statements, from requests for information, through applications for progress and final payments, to certificates of completion</li><li>Claims against key participants in a construction project: design professionals and construction managers, and contractors and subcontractors</li><li>Damages and penalties in an FCA claim and how the severity and inflexibility of the statute's regime affects litigation and settlement</li><li>Retaliation claims</li><li>Corporate compliance programs viewed from the perspective of preventing often-devastating FCA claims -- and how to prepare when a claim is made</li><li>The corporation's perspective on practical considerations in defending a claim</li><li>Resolving FCA claims, most frequently through settlement</li><li>Criminal prosecution of FCA defendants, including the differences between inside and outside counsel</li></ul>Description and analysis of the federal government's penalties guidelinesThe final chapter offers an especially valuable state-by-state summary of state false claims liability. Fourteen states have enacted statutes similar to the federal False Claims Act, and others are currently considering such legislation. Where states do not have a traditional false claims act, the summary explains alternate provisions addressing the submission of construction-related false claims.
