International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

This book analyses what elements of legal regulation would best resolve the longstanding issues of imposition of terms and unfair terms in boilerplate 'contracts of adhesion'. The problem is not a new one, first recognised by Sir Frederick Pollock, but it has persisted over the intervening years. So though the question is a longstanding one, the answer provided by the book is truly innovative. It adopts a 'law in context' methodology to offer solutions. The new methodological approach is combined with insights from global regulatory theory and cutting edge solutions such as private collectivised proceedings and remedies, streamlined adjudication, and administrative enforcement systems. It takes a global approach, looking at models in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU. As the use of boilerplates is set only to increase as privatisation and globalisation spread, the answers provided by this book are much needed.

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.

Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? II offers readers forty-four new accessible essays on the nature of constitutional democracy and constitutional crises, how the democratic recission is being experienced throughout the world, the factors that are providing challenges for constitutional democracy, and the tools being fashioned to maintain constitutional democracy, including the possibility of more global governance. This volume informs readers of the present state of constitutional democracy throughout the world and provides them with a framework for maintaining and improving constitutional governance. The health of constitutional democracy has not improved substantially since the publication of Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? I. Widespread concern exists about the decline of constitutional democracy around the world, a phenomenon often referred to as 'democratic recession', 'democratic failure' or 'democratic backsliding.' The United States is hurtling toward competitive authoritarianism if not at that destination. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy confront powerful authoritarian movements. Eastern European countries struggle to maintain fragile democracies, while democratic efforts in the Global South confront the legacy of colonialism. Several "feel-good" cases remain: New Zealand and Australia continue as robust constitutional democracies; Poland and possibly Hungary are undergoing democratic "U-turns" after an authoritarian turn; constitutional reform failures have not dampened democratic momentum in Chile; and Brazil's strong democratic culture enabled resistance to and ultimately the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro. Struggles to establish, sustain, and restore constitutional democracy have not only persisted but accelerated over the past eight years, increasingly blurring the line between "episodic turbulence" and "structural rupture." Global developments now demand not just updated examples, but a re-examination of core assumptions, about what constitutes a constitutional crisis, how rapidly constitutional-democratic systems can be reoriented, which institutions matter most under stress, and what effective repair looks like once democratic injury is normalized. Recent events underscore the need to "pause and reflect on the constitutional project," which appears to be in crisis and perhaps outdated, "incapable of leading us effectively into the planetary epoch."

Translational Systems Sciences

Characteristics of Japanese visual narratives are depicted in this book, shedding light on cultural, institutional, and industrial aspects of reproducible contents. The book consists of three parts which deal with the Japanese contents industry, the hypervariety industry revolution, and related case studies, respectively. The first part proposes points of view for organizing research on the Japanese contents industry. The authors explain characteristics of the industry from the standpoint of cultural, institutional, and industrial strata. The second part explains the system of revolution in the industry as a hypervariety industry. The Japanese contents industry implicitly predicts the next innovation system, which will be hypervarietal but not top-down or Hollywood style as in the Western economy. The third part provides case studies on phenomena such as the comics market, Akihabara: a cross-cultural town, Cool Japan, and animation.

UK Procurement Legislation

This book looks at how the law allows donors to establish perpetual charitable trusts, bearing the donor's name, and how it rewards and encourages the pursuit of post-mortem identity. It considers the policy questions raised by post-mortem identity. The law in this area is often complex and uncertain, and that legal unpredictably might deter donors from giving. Attention to post-mortem identity suggests that the law should be made as reliable and predictable as possible. This book theorises the motivation for post-mortem identity and works through its legal implications. It considers the even deeper questions in play and the particular problems which surround post-mortem identity. For example, a donor motivated by the prospect of legal immortality might be led towards bad charity. The donor might try to create a vain or prejudiced organisation. The book looks at the context of these issues, the policy challenges faced by the law, and the way in which the rules need to control and limit the donor's wishes.

Charity Law and Post-mortem Identity

Ius Romanum

In Late Antiquity, private individuals could acquire land or other assets through acts of the emperor or the administration. These often originated from confiscations, e.g. of estates without heirs (
 bona vacantia
 , 
 caduca
 ), the property of convicted criminals (
 bona damnatorum
 ), or ownerless slaves (
 vaga mancipia
 ). Since the 
 fiscus
 was often unable to make economically effective use of these assets, and the emperor was under political pressure to reward influential individuals, they were frequently transferred - sometimes for payment, but often free of charge. In this context, a procedure developed whereby beneficiaries could petition for an imperial grant by means of a 
 petitio
 .
 

 By analysing Late Antique imperial constitutions, the study examines this procedure, as well as the private-law status of the recipients. The analysis shows that they generally acquired ownership - even where the assets had not belonged to the 
 fiscus
 . As Roman law in principle did not allow acquisition in good faith from a non-owner, this form of acquisition is best understood as one effected by sovereign act.
 

 At the same time, it becomes clear that Late Antique emperors established nuanced and carefully considered rules and sought to achieve a fair balance of interests. A decline in legal culture, as suggested by the theory of so-called Late Antique vulgar law, cannot be observed.
