Scholars of Commercial Law

Fire Safety Law and Practice provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the legislative framework that governs fire safety in England and Wales. Taking into account the significant amendments that have followed the tragic events of Grenfell Tower, it explains who is subject to duties under the order and what those duties are. It then deals with enforcement, covering the duties on enforcing authorities and the investigatory powers available to them, before looking at both the bringing of criminal proceedings and the powers to issue alteration, prohibition and enforcement notices. Accessible to both those new to the field and experienced legal practitioners, and to fire safety inspectors as well as risk assessors, it serves not only as a reference work, but also provides a detailed practical guide for those working in this area on a daily basis. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Company and Commercial Law online service.

Fire Safety Law and Practice

This book provides the first in-depth study of the crime of bigamy from the 17th century to the present day. Between 1604 and 2024, around 30,000 individuals were prosecuted for bigamy in England and Wales. A few were able to establish a defence to the charge, but most were convicted. How they were punished varied hugely across the centuries - from execution, branding, whipping, transportation, and imprisonment through to fines and community service. Double Trouble details the legal framework that underpinned such prosecutions. As a companion volume to Double Lives: Stories of Bigamy in England and Wales, 1604-2024, it sets the offence in the context of the changing laws on marriage and divorce, and examines the consequences of bigamy for those involved, including the remedies that were available to the often-deceived second spouse. Drawing on a wide array of sources from the 17th century to the present day, including formal law reports, legal treatises, newspapers, censuses, parish registers, divorce petitions and Parliamentary debates, this book shows how bigamy should be taken seriously as an offence that all too often involved deception, abandonment and heartbreak.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book undertakes a unique enquiry into the puzzling doctrine of undisclosed agency. Following an introduction to the doctrine and those issues that its conceptual uncertainty poses for commerce, it then charts a course through the core categories of obligations: contract, equity, tort, and unjust enrichment. In each case, various theses are explored in detail in order to identify the most robust, compelling, and commercially-appropriate rationalisation of undisclosed agency. It brings much needed clarity to a complex field of private and commercial law.

Studies in Australian Law, Politics and History

This book lays out a roadmap for establishing common law recognition of Aboriginal customary law in Australia. Currently, Aboriginal customary law is recognised in limited circumstances through native title, which applies only to rights and interests over traditional lands or waters. This book argues that, if a carefully constructed claim is accepted by an Australian Court, Aboriginal customary law could potentially be recognised across a wide range of legal areas, including criminal law, family law, succession, environmental law, and criminal procedure. Importantly, this would also afford legal recognition to organic Indigenous governance structures. It also proposes a roadmap for establishing a hybrid equitable-constitutional fiduciary obligation that the Crown would owe Indigenous Australians. This could provide valuable protections to Indigenous rights and societies from impositions made by legislatures and executives purporting to exercise powers under the 
 Australian Constitution. Distinctive in its approach, this volume is among the first post-2020 works to explore a common law pathway for recognising and furthering the rights of Indigenous societies, governance systems, and legal frameworks, at a time when most scholarship has focused on express constitutional recognition or recognition via treaties and agreements (notably in Victoria).
 The book builds on the landmark High Court decision in 
 Love v Commonwealth 
 (2020), where the Court recognised that Aboriginal Australians, owing to their enduring connection to country, could not be considered ‘aliens’ under the 
 Constitution
 . While 
 Love 
 initially addressed alienage and constitutional protections, this work argues that its reasoning opens the door to broader common law recognition of Indigenous Australians’ rights, laws, and governance structures, beyond the scope of native title.
 Through careful legal analysis and a proposed claims framework, this book contributes to an emergent body of scholarship exploring the legal consequences of recognizing Aboriginal Australians’ enduring connection to country, offering a path toward meaningful expansion of Indigenous legal recognition in Australia, and bringing Australian law closer to the more progressive Indigenous rights doctrines of common law North America.

Ship Sale and Purchase is the essential working guide for anyone involved in the business of making ship sale and purchase agreements and also in the resolution of disputes arising out of such agreements.The eighth edition of Ship Sale and Purchase contains a detailed clause-by-clause analysis of Saleform 2025, the latest version of the longstanding standard form produced by the Norwegian Shipbrokers' Association.

Written by renowned experts in this specialised area, the book updates and informs readers on all aspects of the regulatory environment affecting ship sale and purchase, the contemporary process and practice of buying and selling ships, and key court decisions that have directly impacted ship sales. As with previous editions, Ship Sale and Purchase continues to provides authoritative legal analysis, market insight and practical guidance for all those involved in the business of buying and selling second-hand ships.

In 1532, James V instituted the College of Justice, an incorporated group of expert lawyers and administrators who were to exercise supreme Scottish civil jurisdiction. Why did he decide to do that? This book argues that the scheme was informed by a powerful sense of the role that an incorporated body of expert lawyers might serve in articulating a just law for the realm. The new institution also more fully defined the relationship between the king and his supreme judges, reflecting contemporary European thought. Furthermore, the new College of Justice was meant to have a significant role in connection with the government of the Scottish Catholic Church on the eve of the Reformation. ​​​​​​​ This account of the institution of the College of Justice serves as a case study of the powerful role of lawyers in state formation during the Renaissance. It will also be of interest to those who wish to understand the origins of a court that remains part of the Scottish legal landscape to this day.

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.

This book offers the first detailed study of women's legal status in early modern Liège, an otherwise largely overlooked case in European legal history. It follows women across the course of their lives, from birth to widowhood, to show how their legal position and control over property shifted over time, depending on their social status and place within the family. Drawing on a substantial body of wills and marriage contracts from notarial practice, it moves beyond traditional sources to show how the law actually worked in everyday practice, and who took part in its creation. By bringing all these elements together, this book offers a nuanced picture of how law and gender interacted in early modern Europe.
