Joshi A: Litigating Family Violence

Litigating Family Violence

Studies in International Law

This book offers the first comprehensive study of unjust enrichment as a principle of international law. While domestic legal systems have long recognised unjust enrichment as a basis for restitution, its role in international law remains underexplored. This book addresses this gap by examining the roles of the international norm against unjust enrichment both as an independent basis for a claim and in the development and interpretation of other international norms. It explores the far-reaching implications of this norm for inter-state relations and investment arbitration. The book advances three key arguments: that unjust enrichment claims in international law may extend to indirect recipients; that states enriched through conduct harming another state can incur liability in unjust enrichment even without a transfer of value from the harmed state to the enriched state; and that the principle of unjust enrichment is not merely subsidiary to the law of state responsibility for internationally wrongful conduct. Through rigorous analysis, the book explores the rationales underlying unjust enrichment - proprietary, fairness, and wrongfulness - and evaluates their applicability in the international arena. It also considers practical challenges such as indeterminacy, multiple-claimant situations, and the risk of proliferating disputes. Drawing on jurisprudence from the Iran-US Claims Tribunal, ICSID, and other international tribunals, as well as comparative insights from English, German, US, and other domestic laws, the book provides a nuanced framework for applying unjust enrichment in international law. It will be indispensable for scholars of public international law, practitioners engaged in inter-state adjudication, government lawyers, and investment arbitration specialists seeking principled solutions to complex disputes.

Unjust Enrichment in International Law

The MIBI Agreements and the Law

European Yearbook on Human Rights 2026

This is the essential practitioner's guide to animal welfare and animal protection law in the Crown Court and magistrates' courts of England. Animal law is a roughly stitched patchwork of domestic acts, regulations, orders and statutory codes, interlaced with international treaties, regulations and directives. The resultant body of law is immense: with acts still in force today dating back to the 1800s and dozens of enabling clauses permitting the tapestry constantly to evolve. Sometimes prosecutors use the law to protect animals, for instance by prosecuting those thought to have abused them. Other times defence advocates are those protecting animals, for instance by defending allegedly dangerous dogs from destruction. This guide sets out the law and provides practical advice for those on either side of the courtroom. The guide's primary focus is on criminal cases that concern kept animals, farmed animals, animals in science, wild animals, dangerous dogs and animal protection activists. It also features chapters on related civil orders in the magistrates' courts, as well as a practical chapter on funding in animal-related cases. This is the only guide of its kind, written as a handbook for frontline practitioners in England's criminal courts. It draws on decades of experience and is written by two experts, in consultation with an array of specialists in each practice area. This makes it a must-have book for anyone practising or wishing to practise animal welfare or animal protection law.

Animal Welfare and Animal Protection Law - A Practitioner’s Guide

Family law is constantly evolving as courts, legislatures, and advances in science and technology reshape how families are formed, supported, and protected. Statsky/Beck/Wright's "Family Law," 8th Edition helps you develop an accurate understanding of modern family law and the role you'll play as a paralegal. Explore issues impacting family law, such as no-fault divorce, individual rights and protections, and the impact of science and technology on concepts of parentage. Updates on evolving laws governing assisted reproduction, surrogacy, parentage, domestic violence, and child support enforcement help you connect legal doctrine to the issues shaping family law today.

Hospitality, Sovereignty and the Law of Migration

Welcoming the Stranger

Forced "Return" of Migrants to Transit and Fourth Countries

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

European Perspectives on the Procedural Review of Parliamentary Lawmaking

Key Ideas in Law

This book provides an account of the most important and controversial aspects of the principle of legality in the United Kingdom. The principle of legality describes a method of statutory interpretation that empowers courts to prevent fundamental common law values from being overridden by unclear legislation. However, it makes more sense to think of multiple principles of legality, rather than a single concept. The book provides a fresh and detailed perspective on a controversial aspect of the common law. It will be useful for students of law and politics, legal practitioners and scholars. It explores the many complexities surrounding the historical origins, fields of application, mode of operation, and subject matter of the principle of legality. Despite its long history, the term 'principle of legality' only began to be used in public law cases towards the end of the twentieth century. More recently, judicial references to the principle of legality in high profile constitutional law cases have fuelled broader concerns about judicial overreach. The book argues that these concerns are unfounded, and deeper principles of legality are required.

Key Ideas in Law: The Principle of Legality

Human Rights Law in Perspective

This book offers an analysis of how the European Court of Human Rights engages with identity and emotion, revealing both the promise and the limitations of human rights law in addressing the complexities of human experience. The book explores how human rights law, often framed as universal and abstract, responds to deeply personal questions of identity, belonging, and emotional impact. Based on a systematic study of over 3,300 judgments, the book shows how the European Court of Human Rights has increasingly made identity central to its reasoning - particularly in cases involving sexuality, ethnicity, and family life. In these areas, the Court acknowledges how state actions shape emotions such as fear, humiliation, and dignity. Yet, in other domains - migration, religion, professional life - the Court avoids emotional engagement, leading to troubling inconsistencies. The book argues that when emotions are excluded from legal reasoning, individuals are reduced to formal entities, stripped of depth and interiority. Combining doctrinal analysis with insights from social theory and psychology, the book presents a new framework for understanding how emotions and identity interact with law. It traces the evolution of identity references across categories and highlights the Court's uneven treatment of emotional harm. This timely and original contribution speaks to legal scholars, practitioners, and theorists interested in human rights, identity politics, and the emotional dimensions of law. It calls for a more responsive and empathetic human rights jurisprudence - one that reflects the lived realities of those it seeks to protect.
