This book provides a timely and much-needed critical legal review of children's participation in healthcare that goes beyond merely documenting the extent and scope of participation, and explores the importance, definition of, and barriers to their meaningful participation. Addressing a gap in the literature, the book uses a combination of empirical data, childhood and participatory theory, and legal analysis to study the participation of children and young people in the medical context from a child's rights perspective. Centring the unheard and underrepresented lived experiences of recent and past child patients, and doctors, the book uses Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, a methodology traditionally used in psychology, to provide a refreshing and unique exploration of children's participation in their healthcare. The book explores to what extent national law and international non-binding conventions have created a 'right' to participation, studies the application of national law in clinical practice asking whether the law facilitates meaningful participation, and analyses the interaction between law and quasi-legal regulations. The book will be useful for academics, children's activists, and legal and clinical practitioners.

Litigating Psychiatric Injury Claims

The Law of Economic Regulation provides a detailed analysis of the law specific to economic regulation and the practice of that law. This book is unique in dealing with the key elements of economic regulation - such as rule-setting, regulatory investigations and disputes, enforcement and appeals on a cross-sector basis, offering a resource to practitioners in each sector who currently have few efficient options to see how other sectors deal with a specific issue. As the number of regimes, and their jurisprudence, continues to grow, the legal issues arising have increased in importance. Whilst the focus of this book is on UK sector regimes, it uses other comparisons where relevant, including UK and EU competition law, and sectoral regimes in other jurisdictions from the EU, USA and beyond, where that best illustrates a particular point. It answers questions, such as: - What rules apply to major regulated companies? - How do the rules vary between regulated sectors? - What is the point of economic regulation? - How do regulators make decisions? - Can decisions by regulators be challenged, and if so, how? With contributions from leading specialists in their areas, this title is essential reading for all legal practitioners specialising in regulation, competition law, energy law, telecommunications law, environmental law and transport law. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Practice and Procedure Law online service.

The Law of Economic Regulation

This book gives extraordinary new insights into the legal, political and industrial strife in the UK of the early 1970s, focusing on the National Industrial Relations Court and how its independence came to be injured at a time of national crisis. Constitutional and employment lawyers, and indeed anyone interested in the history of the times, will not want to be without this deeply researched yet entertaining work. When the Heath Government came to power in 1970, it set up the National Industrial Relations Court to referee highly contentious disputes between unions and employers. Regarded with hostility by the labour movement from the start, the Court and its President, Sir John Donaldson, faced mounting suspicion, and were regularly front-page news. When Donaldson jailed five dockers in 1972 - the Pentonville Five - for defying the Court's orders, strikes erupted and the docks closed. With the country's food supplies dwindling, a state of emergency loomed. How had it come to this? Could a way through be found? This is a revelatory account of the National Industrial Relations Court's defining crisis, set in the context of a wider, and frequently startling, exposition of how Donaldson went about his role as its President. Peter Oldham KC combines decades of experience as a barrister with archival research to shine a bright new light on how and why the Court found itself doing - in Donaldson's own words - 'rather peculiar things'.

'Rather Peculiar Things'

Law and Politics at the National Industrial Relations Court 1970-75

The Art Law Library

This open access book investigates the role played by copyright on the digitisation of cultural heritage from three angles: the theoretical differences between cultural property law and copyright; a comparative analysis of the EU, UK, and US; and analysis of current practices and concerns, based on empirical research. As heritage digitisation projects become increasingly common for purposes such as preservation and access, the impact of copyright is also becoming more problematic. In order to provide a full and current picture of the copyright problem, the book first introduces the reader to the debates on the scope and ownership of cultural heritage and provides an overview of the copyright implications of the digitisation process and newer uses, including 2D and 3D scanning; virtual and augmented reality; text and data mining; and artificial intelligence. The author then divides the main critical analysis into three parts, referred to as the 'clashes with copyright'. The first, clash in theory, lies between cultural property law and copyright justification theories. The second clash is in the different legal approaches to digitising in-copyright, public domain, orphan, out-of-commerce and unpublished works in the chosen jurisdictions, focusing on the relevant rights and defences. The third clash is in the interests of stakeholders, based on public reactions to existing projects and cases, supported by interviews with heritage professionals engaging in digitisation. By placing itself in this particular intersection of law, heritage, and technology, the book will be of interest to both intellectual property academics and cultural heritage professionals. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Clashes with Copyright Law

Digitising Cultural Heritage

Model Rules of Professional Conduct, 2026 Edition

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

Risk, Resilience and the Making of a Business Empire

Barefoot Billionaire

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

Financial Relief After Foreign Divorce

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).
