Luiz Gama V. Slavery: A Black Lawyer Fighting for Freedom and Justice in Nineteenth-Century Brazil

This book examines the origins, deployment, and legacy of Order 1305, a measure introduced in 1940 to make it a criminal offence to take part in a strike. Surprisingly, the prohibition on the right to strike was retained by the Attlee administration after the Second World War, and was transformed to become a weapon of government during the Cold War to deal with what were wrongly claimed by ministers to be Communist-inspired strikes engineered for subversive purposes. In a deep analysis of Order 1305, the authors provide a reassessment of the role of the State in industrial relations. Challenging much contemporary learning in labour law, the book is informed by a very detailed engagement with Cabinet and ministerial papers, which highlight the contradictions on the part of government in simultaneously promoting and containing trade union power. These sources also highlight the extent to which trade unions both relied on and were co-opted by the State. The main focus of the book, however, is the role of Order 1305 in the control of trade union activists, with the continuing presence of the criminal law and allegations of communist inspired strikes ensuring an important role for MI5 and Special Branch in post-war industrial relations. Material unearthed at the National Archives demonstrates unequivocally not only that trade unions were deeply penetrated, but also that trade union activists were the subject of extensive surveillance, as the authors fully reveal.

Melland Schill Perspectives on International Law

This volume offers the first systematic account of Japanese international legal theory, tracing more than a century of scholarship across thirteen influential thinkers. Edited by leading Japanese scholars, it examines how theorists working outside international law's Western centre developed sophisticated frameworks to navigate tensions between Western modernity and their own legal and intellectual traditions. The book's central contribution proposes "conversation"--a mode of sustained engagement that respects irreducible differences between legal cultures--as an alternative to "dialogue," which often reinforces hierarchy by presuming full reconciliation of perspectives. Through detailed intellectual biographies spanning six historical periods, contributors show how Japanese scholars strategically adopted legal positivism, articulated transcivilizational approaches, and advanced concepts of normative multilateralism. Aimed at scholars of international law, legal theory, and comparative traditions, the volume demonstrates that the field's future depends on genuinely reciprocal, coexisting perspectives.

From Dialogue to Conversation

Histories of International Legal Theories in Japan

This collection of essays presents a socio-legal history of epidemics from the medieval period to the present day. Building on previous studies of infectious diseases undertaken by social historians of medicine, this collection explores the histories of epidemics and disease by looking at the legal measures deployed against them. Whilst previous works have considered the mechanisms by which legal change occurs, the social and political assumptions on which new laws and new legal structures are premised and the social changes which follow, this book focuses on the way in which historical actors understood law to be a complex means of responding to disease and the way in which that law shaped (and limited) the responses which could be made to disease. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it features contributions from scholars across a range of academic disciplines who consider the wider implications of epidemics and disease beyond the obvious health effects. The collection focuses first on regulatory responses such as the quarantine laws and border policies in the eighteenth century, the framing of 'disease' in the Colonial Immigration Acts in the nineteenth century and the ethics of public health in the twentieth century in Great Britain. It then goes on to consider developments in broader legal doctrine which themselves resulted from social and/or legal responses to disease, including the centralisation of labour regulation in the wake of the black death, property disputes about leper houses, pest houses and fever hospitals, and the prosecution of medical professionals for disease transmission in 19th century England. Methodologically all the chapters are historical, but a range of approaches has been taken, from quite traditional doctrinal legal history through socio-legal history to traditional political and social history, to bring the history of epidemics and the legal measures deployed against them in to sharp focus.

Epidemics and the Law from Plague to the Present

Globalisation and the fundamental transformations of the 19th and early 20th centuries also brought about a change in international law. In the face of the omnipresent struggle for influence between the great powers, a movement gained ground on the international scene that sought to base international order on rules and to protect peace through international dispute settlement bodies. The Hague Peace Conferences (1899, 1907), the Pan-American Conferences (1889, 1901, 1906), and the Washington Conference (1907) were the first major steps in this direction. This work analyses these developments, taking into account perspectives from Europe, the United States, and Latin America, and traces the path to the creation of the first international court of law.

Peace Through Law

The Origins of an International Legal Order of Peace and Justice

This book analyses the tendency in international law scholarship and criticism to seek a 'new' international law. Drawing and building on scholarship around the political significance of theological ideas, it argues that underlying this tendency is a relationship between international law and messianic thinking.

Landmark Cases

This book presents the landmark cases in company law which have shaped and defined the field and is written by leading experts in the field.

Part of the market-leading Landmark Cases series, this book brings together leading experts in company law to analyse the the landmark cases in company law which have shaped and defined the field. Drawing on a range of diverse methods and a multi-disciplinary orientation, the book explains the past, present, and future of company law as well as its shape, structure, and trajectory. Company law is now understood to be a creature of statute law. The Companies Act of 2006 is a monumental piece of legislative work. Cases, however, played a central role in creating, establishing, and influencing legal ideas that were later enshrined within pieces of legislation. To identify the landmark cases in company law, the book develops an original, democratic, and objective method. It undertakes a citation analysis of cases used by 5 leading English company law textbooks. Highly cited cases are widely understood to be central to the company law curriculum. Once these cases have been identified, they are examined by leading scholars in company law. The analysis that follows sheds some much needed light on how, why, and when historic rules came into being. This contextual analysis is missing from the original law reports as well as the legislation that we see in operation today. It follows that these novel accounts of the roots of company law push beyond a simplistic narration of the case and proffer a new explanation for why legal rules took the shape that they did. Other archaeological studies also provide a fresh account of the case. Such an excavation informs the reader about legal advisors or the parties in the suit to explain why the litigation arose in this particular way, manner, or form.

Land Law

Rescission is the principal mechanism by which voluntarily assumed obligations and transactions are unwound. It is important to a range of commercial and non-commercial transactions and is raised regularly before courts at all levels. Despite this prevalence, the law on rescission remains poorly understood and riddled with controversies. Issues in the Law of Rescission brings together leading academics to tackle some of the most challenging and pressing issues facing the law of rescission. Across 11 chapters, it addresses theoretical issues, such as the proper structure of rescission, the justification for powers to rescind, and rescission's relationship to the law of unjust enrichment. The various chapters also offer guidance on specific doctrinal issues, ranging from the grounds of rescission to practical difficulties in establishing the grounds, bars to rescission, rescission in the context of corporate transacting, fiduciary relationships, and gift-giving, and the proprietary consequences of rescission. The chapters carefully set out the existing law, critique difficult decisions, and chart a path forward, offering guidance on how future disputes should be resolved. With fresh and compelling arguments for what the law is and how open questions ought to be resolved, Issues in the Law of Rescission will form an essential part of any commercial lawyer's library.

Issues in the Law of Rescission

International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

This book examines the English and German version of the numerus clausus principle which holds that there is a closed list of permitted property rights. It challenges recent views that the principle renders property law inflexible and unable to accommodate social and economic changes. Relying on a novel approach combining property theory and comparative research of English and German law, it argues that the restrictions the principle imposes on the creation of new property types actually does accommodate social changes through a process of 'functional transformation' of the existing property rights. This is a fascinating, unique study, that makes a rigorous, original contribution to property law theory.
