Court-Supervised Restructuring of Large Distressed Companies in Asia Law and Policy

Wai Yee Wan, City University of Hong Kong

This book provides an analysis of 4 Asian jurisdictions (Mainland China, India, Hong Kong and Singapore) that have recently reformed – or are considering reforming – their corporate restructuring laws to promote regimes conducive to restructuring financially distressed, but economically viable, companies. This study explains how corporate restructuring laws in these Asian jurisdictions have evolved due to the frictions in shareholder-creditor and creditor-creditor relationships, and the role of the state in resolving non-performing loans and financial distress of state-owned enterprises which are listed, or which issue public debt

Referendums as Representative Democracy

Leah Trueblood, University of Oxford, UK

In referendums on fundamental constitutional issues, do the people come together to make decisions instead of representatives? This book argues no It offers an alternative theory of referendums whereby they are one of many ordinary ways that voters give direction to their representatives In this way, the book argues that referendums are better understood as exercises in representative democracy

Challenging the current treatment of referendums in processes of constitutional change both in the United Kingdom and around the world, the book strengthens the case for referendums by showing how they can support, rather than undermine, institutions of representative democracy

Equality Before the Law

Equal Dignity, Wrongful Discrimination, and the Rule of Law

Michael P Foran, University of Glasgow, UK

This book presents a defence of the value of equality within law which is neither purely formal nor an all-things-considered theory of justice

The book argues that equality is grounded in the principle of equal moral status of all subjects of the law and that individuals be treated in accordance with the principle of equality before the law, that they not be treated in ways that would deny their equal moral standing

It explores the argument that this principle of moral equality is the fundamental normative basis of the common law constitution and essential for the rule of law

Demoicratic Authority Nature and Ground of the EU’s Right to Rule

Josef Weinzierl, the Landgericht, Germany

What is the nature of EU’s authority? This fascinating book explores this question, and is much needed given its increased scrutiny in the face of growing nationalism.

By setting out an original account of the preferred moral standard to evaluate such authority, ie Demoicratic authority, it illustrates how that standard affects the practical reasoning of those subjects to the EU’s authority. Theoretically significant, the book also has important practical value as legitimacy challenges in the EU increase Constitutional lawyers and theorists, as well as political scientists will welcome this innovative new work

This collection brings together leading constitutional scholars to systematically analyse this significant shift in legal reasoning, described by Lady Hale as ‘UK Constitutionalism on the march’, for the first time.

How will the 'crisis of constitutionalism' unfold in the years to come? Nobody knows, but at the same time, nobody is too keen to make an educated guess This volume remedies that

The book brings together 9 eminent scholars in law and political science to predict where constitutionalism will stand in 2030 It creates a forum of deliberation that not only aims to anticipate the developments in question but also shape academic discourse on constitutionalism

The contributors will reconvene in 2030 and 2040 to reflect and consider how the issues have evolved and whether their predictions have been realised

The Constitutional Balance John Laws

In The Constitutional Balance Sir John Laws has left a vivid and timely commentary on one of the most pressing issues in the legal world today Constitutional fundamental values can compete with each other, giving rise to tensions within and between key state institutions, in particular the executive and the judiciary A 'constitutional balance' between them must be found if the constitution is to function properly Sir John draws on his life-long experience as a barrister, judge and academic, and on case-law and learning, to explain in vibrant and engaging terms how such a 'constitutional balance' might be achieved

The Constitutional Legitimacy of Law Officers in the United Kingdom

Conor McCormick, Queen’s University, Belfast, UK

This book provides a detailed account of each law officer’s functions and draws on that account as the basis for a broader conceptual analysis of their constitutional legitimacy

The constitutional legitimacy of law officers has been questioned repeatedly in recent years, on account of recurring controversies surrounding the discharge of their varied functions This book argues that the most persuasive framework for analysing the offices which make up this diverse regime involves concentrating on the constitutional values of independence, accountability and trust which underpin it

The Rule of Law in Brazil

The Legal Construction of Inequality

Juliano Zaiden Benvindo, University of Brasília, Brazil

This book offers a broad perspective of the functioning, evolution, and dynamics of the rule of law in Brazil

In the context of a rising crisis of liberal principles and ‘democratic decay’ in global constitutionalism, the book explores how Brazilian democracy has dealt with the authoritarian mindset which still plays a big role in the fate of the country

It considers whether the democratic achievements and institutional framework that have strengthened over the years are capable of defending the rule of law as an imperative for Brazil’s development, especially in times when the country seems most in need of them

This book contains contributions from leading scholars in public law who engage critically with Bruce Ackerman’s path-breaking book Revolutionary Constitutions. The book also features a rebuttal chapter by Ackerman in which he responds directly to the contributions

Some contributors advance Ackerman’s theory, others attack it, and others refine it—but all agree that the ideas in the book reset the terms of debate on important subjects in constitutionalism: from the promise and perils of populism to the causes and consequences of democratic backsliding, from the optimal models of constitutional design to the forms and limits of constitutional amendment, and from the role of courts in politics to how we identify when the mythical “people” have spoken

Edited by Damian Clifford, Australian National University, Australia, Kwan Ho Lau, Singapore Management University, Singapore & Jeannie Marie Paterson, The University of Melbourne, Australia

An Introduction to the English Law of Contract for the Civil Lawyer

John Cartwright, University of Oxford, UK

The fourth edition of this acclaimed textbook introduces the lawyer trained in a civil law jurisdiction to the method of reasoning in the common law, and in particular to the English law of contract It is written for the lawyer - whether student or practitioner - from another jurisdiction who already has an understanding of a (different) law of contract, but who wishes to discover the way in which an English lawyer views a contract However, it is also useful for the English law student: setting English contract law generally in the context of other European and international approaches, the book forms an introductory text, not only demonstrating how English contract law works but also giving a glimpse of different ways of thinking about some of the fundamental rules of contract law from a civil law perspective

Regulating Boilerplate Resolving the Issues of Imposition and Unfairness in Standard Form Contracts

Marcus Moore, University of British Columbia, Canada

The methodological approach is combined with insights from global regulatory theory and cutting edge solutions such as private collectivised proceedings and remedies, streamlined adjudication, and administrative enforcement systems It looks at models in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU As the use of boilerplates is set only to increase as privatisation and globalisation spread, the answers provided are much needed

The Scope and Structure of Unjust Enrichment

Duncan Sheehan, University of Leeds, UK

This ambitious book grapples with ongoing debates on the structure of unjust enrichment. It argues that while unjust enrichment has the function of reversing defective enrichments, there is scope for normative pluralism in how the law achieves this Drawing on comparative material from Germany, Scotland and South Africa the book argues for a legal framework which combines elements of the absence of basis and unjust factors approaches It assesses how that structure can be mapped against the causes of action that make up unjust enrichment, and concludes with a treatment of defences

Judicial Reasoning in Tort Law

English and French Traditions Compared

Dorota Leczykiewicz, University of Oxford, UK

This book examines the practice of judicial reasoning in tort law, understood as a process of justification, consisting of both deductive and non-deductive elements, and therefore involving a significant element of choice or discretion. The book divides the elements of judicial reasoning into four conceptual categories: factual assessments, application of legislative and judgemade rules, reliance on reasonableness and policy considerations To discuss these elements in a comparative perspective the book uses the English and French judicial traditions of tort law as case studies By closely examining selected tort judgments from both jurisdictions, the book elucidates the phenomenon of law-making through adjudication in both a non-codified and a codified system of liability It offers a reflection on different approaches that legal systems may adopt to the importance in the process of judicial justification.

Free Movement Rights for Atypical Workers

Alice Welsh, York Law School, UK

This book challenges the existing focus in EU citizenship scholarship which looks only at the economically active Arguing that the deliberately vague EU concept of ‘work’ allows for its restricted application in Member States, it shows how many workers and economic contributors are left out of the free movement regime Relying on both qualitative case studies and legal analysis of both EU and UK legislation, case law, and decision maker guidance, it argues that, if EU free movement rights are awarded on the basis of market credentials, more must be done to ensure a contemporary, accurate and inclusive market citizenship

Citizenship and Human Rights

From Exclusive and Universal to Global Rights: A New Framework

Christian Kälin, Henley & Partners, UK

Can universal human rights and different national citizenship regimes be compatible? This book argues that they can’t It explores whether the emergence of postnational models of citizenship that aim at decoupling human rights and citizenship succeed in overcoming tensions between the universal (multiculturalism; universal human rights; postnational values) and the particular (citizenship; borders; national values and diverse local narratives)

The author argues that it is illegitimate to speak of universal human rights, universal human dignity, or universal social justice It is only by recognising this reality that transformation of human rights and citizenship can be meaningfully undertaken

Fragmentation and the European Patent System

Karen Walsh, Maynooth University, Ireland

The European patent system (EPS) is undoubtedly fragmented, which is generally seen as a negative aspect of the system that needs to be removed This book questions that viewpoint and takes the unique perspective that fragmentation is in fact inherent in the EPS and can, in certain circumstances, be a positive feature

The book proposes a theoretical analysis of fragmentation as a feature of supranational law-making and legal systems It draws on jurisprudence from international law, in which fragmentation is inherent, and uses that analysis to propose alternative methods of harmonising the EPS, while ensuring national diversity

This book highlights the sometimes absurd outcomes which an unjustified overprotection of intellectual property (IP) may lead to It collects and comments on a series of IP disputes which have taken the notion of IP protection to extremes

The aim of the book is to criticise these excesses because they contribute to creating an environment where more and more people are led to ‘hate’ IP This is not a book against IP, it is instead a call for change and an attempt to ‘save’ IP from continuing to be an easy target for criticism

Jure Vidmar, Maastricht University, the Netherlands

This book develops a new theory of territorialism and international legal status of territories It (i) defines the concept of territory, explaining how territories are created; (ii) redefines the concept of statehood, illustrating that statehood (rather than the statehood criteria) is territorial legal status established in the formal sources of international law; and (iii) grounds non-state territorial entities in the sources of international law to explain their international legal status This fresh new theoretical perspective has both scholarly and practical importance, providing a tool helping decision-makers and judges in the practical application of international law

Spaces of Care

Edited by Loraine Gelsthorpe, University of Cambridge, Perveez Mody, University of Cambridge & Brian Sloan, University of Cambridge

Coordinated by the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group this edited collection interrogates the ways in which the interdisciplinary study of care challenges and provokes a reassessment of the points of connection and disjuncture between care and governance, ethics, and public, personal and professional identities

Leading lawyers, anthropologists, sociologists and criminologists reflect on specific aspects of conceptualising caring relations in ‘spaces’ including: Communities of care and abandonment; Selfcare and kinship care; Spaces as ‘gaps’ in care; The meanings of marketised care and the ways in which care is constructed and constrained in different ways in venues such as homes, prisons, workplaces and virtual spaces
