Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract offers 12 original essays by leading UK contract scholars. As with the essays in the companion volume, Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution (Hart, 2006), each essay takes as its focus a particular leading UK case and analyzes that case in its historical or theoretical context. The cases range from the early 18th- to the late 20th- centuries, and they deal with an array of contractual doctrines. Some of the essays call for a case to be stripped of its landmark status, while others essays argue that a case has more to offer than previously appreciated. The particular historical context of these landmark UK cases often shows that current assumptions about the cases, and what they stands for, are either mistaken or require radical modification. The book also explores several common themes which are fundamental to the development of the law of contract the influence of commercial expectations, appeals to 'reason, ' and the significance of particula.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this collection of essays, a group of leading scholars look back and reappraise some of the landmark cases in the law of restitution. They range from the early seventeenth century to the mid-twentieth century, and shed new light on some classic decisions.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort contains thirteen original essays on leading tort cases, ranging from the early nineteenth century to the present day. It is the third volume in a series of collected essays on landmark cases (the previous two volumes having dealt with restitution and contract). The cases examined raise a broad range of important issues across the law of tort, including such diverse areas as acts of state and public nuisance, as well as central questions relating to the tort of negligence. Several of the essays place cases in their historical context in ways that change our understanding of the case's significance. Sometimes the focus is on drawing out previously neglected aspects of cases which have been - undeservedly - assigned minor importance. Other essays explore the judicial methodologies and techniques that worked to shape leading principles of tort law.So much of tort law turns on cases, and there are so many cases, that all but the most recent decisions have a tendency to become reduced to terse propositions of law, so as to keep the subject manageable. This collection shows how important it is, despite the constant temptation to compression, not to lose sight of the contexts and nuances which qualify and illuminate so many leading authorities.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Constructive and resulting trusts have a long history in English law, and the law which governs them continues to develop as they are pressed into service to perform a wide variety of different functions, for example, to support the working of express trusts and other fiduciary relationships, to allocate family property rights, and to undo the consequences of commercial fraud. However, while their conceptual flexibility makes them enormously useful, it also makes them hard to understand. In the twelve essays collected in this volume, the authors shed new light on various aspects of the law governing constructive and resulting trusts, revisiting current controversies, bringing new historical material to the fore, and offering new theoretical perspectives.
