Gunatilleke G: Reimagining the Limits of
Free Speech under International Law

Reimagining the Limits of Free Speech under International Law

Hart Studies in Commercial and Financial Law

This book uncovers and reconstructs the growing body of legal principles and rules governing mortgages that have been developed by different transnational institutions and actors. It shows how mortgages have evolved from a type of real security commonly used to facilitate lending by mitigating credit risk, to a transferable commodity with the potential to affect international financial stability and consumer welfare. In doing so, the book reveals the emergence of new policy objectives and rationales for regulation that have led to changes in the structure and functions of mortgage laws. Characterising this development as a type of transnational law, the book highlights the paradigm shifts in the law of residential mortgages brought about by their increasing global relevance. The analysis reveals tensions between the goals of risk mitigation, financial stability, consumer protection and housing justice. The result is an innovative analysis at the intersection of contract law, property law and international financial regulation. The book portrays transnational mortgage law as a complex field governed by a plurality of socially and economically relevant but potentially conflicting goals and principles.

Reconstructing the Global Framework for Housing Finance

Transnational Mortgage Law

This book gives the first in-depth assessment of how justification functions when women are claiming their right to equality. How can courts assess whether a proposed limit to women's equality is constitutionally justified? This question is rarely explicitly asked, with the assumption that well-established limitation frameworks, such as proportionality, are able to assess whether limits to women's rights are justified. However, delving into the theory and practice of justification reveals fracture points between the dominant approach to justification and women's rights to equality. One of its distinctive characteristics is the question of whether any analytical entwining or unwinding of equality and justification enhances the protection of women's rights to equality in constitutional democracies. It proposes a novel asymmetric relationship between equality and justification that requires innovative methodological approaches that enrich the task of adjudicating limits to women's equality. This is an intriguing, articulate and compelling examination of a question with real and applied significance to all those working on human rights and equality.

The Function of Justification in Achieving Women’s Equality

A Commentary

The European Convention on Human Rights

This book explores the global phenomenon of migration, transplantation, and borrowing of constitutional ideas. It combines conceptual and normative approaches to dissect a phenomenon which has been both praised and maligned in political and academic discourse. The book takes a broad view of the term 'constitutional'. Its contributors are drawn from the fields of comparative constitutional law, EU law, medieval history, political philosophy, international law, private law, and administration of justice. They consider constitutional transplantation as a specific case of the migration of ideas and place it within that broader intellectual framework of the movement of knowledge. The results of the movement of constitutional ideas can be found outside, as well as within, the law, and the implications of such movement go beyond it. The authors examine legal and constitutional systems in Asia, Europe, North and South America, as both sources and recipients of transplantations. The authors analyse, from historical, conceptual, and normative angles, the transplantation of constitutions and constitutional ideas from one state to another, and the role played by cultures and histories in the reception of constitutional provisions and ideas.

Platform Regulation and Freedom of Expression in the United States and Europe offers a timely examination of how today's dominant online platforms shape public discourse, information flows, and everyday life-and how democratic societies are struggling to regulate them. As social media, video-sharing platforms, and search engines become indispensable to civic participation and economic activity, they also generate increasingly complex legal and policy challenges that demand careful, comparative evaluation.
 
 This volume explores how the United States and Europe-long connected by shared democratic commitments yet separated by a "great divide" in constitutional approaches to speech-are confronting the regulatory dilemmas of the digital age. By situating the First Amendment alongside European free-expression doctrine, the book highlights both areas of overlap and deep structural differences, particularly in how each tradition conceives the state's role in safeguarding democratic deliberation. These contrasts provide a powerful lens for understanding the tensions that define contemporary platform governance.
 
 Moving from theory to practice, the book analyzes key policy developments on both sides of the Atlantic, including responses to disinformation and misinformation and emerging strategies to protect democratic institutions while respecting fundamental rights. Through this dual framework, the contributors map the evolving terrain of platform regulation and reveal the normative choices at stake.
 
 Rather than proposing a single solution, the volume seeks to clarify the terms of debate and encourage a shared understanding across legal and cultural contexts. By illuminating the sources of the "great divide" and offering pathways for constructive engagement, Platform Regulation and Freedom of Expression in the United States and Europe serves as an indispensable guide for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners committed to the future of free expression and digital democracy.

Across the Great Divide

Platform Regulation and Freedom of Expression in the United States and Europe

For more than a century, the United States has relied on the income tax to fund government and shape distributional policy. Designed to tax both labor and capital, the system has drifted from that ambition. The Income Tax Collapse offers a clear, accessible account of how this shift occurred.
At the center of the book is the set of techniques known as "buy, borrow, die", longstanding features of tax law that allow wealthy households to accumulate and spend capital income while reporting little or none of it. These practices now shape outcomes for entrepreneurs, business owners, workers, mixed work-wealth households, and the wealthiest citizens.
Looking ahead, the book identifies the structural pressures driving the system and presents realistic reform options, from adjustments to realization rules to broader shifts such as mark-to-market, wealth taxation, or progressive spending taxes.

Buy, Borrow, Die and Beyond

The Income Tax Collapse

This innovative new textbook takes a cases and materials model (balanced perfectly with expert commentary to guide the students) which maintains a keen focus on those areas studied by the student of EU law. Avoiding the approach of most other textbooks, whose comprehensiveness serves to overwhelm the student, EU Law: Cases, Materials and Text is structured to map the mainstream curriculum. This allows for the inclusion of more materials, with short extracts drawn from a wide range of sources. These serve to tease out themes and to provide a clear sense of direction for the student navigating a sometimes complex subject. As a first edition, it is structured to accurately reflect the law of the EU post Brexit, with a dedicated chapter on the emerging UK-EU relationship. Written by two authors who are both leading scholars and experienced teachers, this offers a new, fresh resource for students and teachers alike.

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'.

This book explores how trial lawyers, driven by self-interest, use argumentation to shape legal and ethical ideals in society through their manipulation of language, people, and objects. It argues that by employing various persuasive styles and deceptive strategies, lawyers influence juries and affect broader legal and communal values. These individual actions, while focused on client interests, collectively contribute to significant social changes in the practice and perception of law.

Etiology, Elements, and Effects

A Natural History of Legal Argument

This book examines the increasing marketisation of framework agreements in UK public procurement and proposes reform to refocus the purpose of this vital purchasing tool and renew the emphasis on public service delivery. Through detailed empirical research, the book examines how contracting authorities set up and use framework agreements in practice, the behaviours of centralised procurement authorities and the private sector, and how these have been addressed or not under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 implementing EU Directives. This reveals the scale of marketisation, the effect of legal rules on framework agreement efficacy, and the need for regulatory and other reform. Going further, post-Brexit, this book also examines the relatively limited impact of the new UK Procurement Act 2023 in addressing these issues and identifies a pressing need for further regulatory, institutional, and industry reform. The book provides the reader with a detailed understanding and analysis of the rules and policies on framework agreements as developed and applied under EU law and UK law, including the UK's post-Brexit efforts at reform, and the resulting legal uncertainty. It also provides insight into the less explored attitudes, behaviours, and practices. This includes everything from centralised purchasing authorities competing against each other to provide framework agreements across the public sector to private sector organisations seeking to run framework agreements for profit. The book will be of interest to practitioners keen to understand and mitigate legal and commercial risks in setting up and using framework agreements. It will also guide policy-makers on the key priorities for targeted reform. Civil society organisations will gain insight into the ongoing challenges of ensuring transparency and accountability. The book will also be of comparative interest in the EU given the UK's experience as a Member State and internationally for countries looking to reform their approach to regulating framework agreements.
