Details

This ambitious and expert study explores the role of policy in shaping private law, focusing on equity, tort law and property law.

This collection, the second of a two-part study, looks at private law through the policy prism. The majority of existing literature diminishes the impact of policy in the development of legal principles, impeding a deeper understanding of it.

This second volume explores contract, commercial and corporate law. Both studies engage with modern challenges and technical developments that now inform private law, with chapters in this volume looking at corporate law and not-for-profit and unconscionable bargains to modern day transactions. They also explore traditional private law areas through a novel lens, such as the gig economy. They highlight the similarities and differences across the different aspects of private law, allowing for a richer analysis across all the strands of private law. This is a landmark and ambitious project undertaken by a team of acknowledged experts in their fields.
