Hart Studies in Constitutional Theory Administrative Law in Aotearoa New Zealand Hanna Wilberg, University of Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand

A concise yet scholarly introduction to the principles of administrative law in Aotearoa New Zealand that has so far been unavailable.

Essays on Freedom and Proportionality

Edited by Dimitrios Kyritsis, University of Essex, UK This open access book explores the connection between proportionality and the moral concept of freedom from a variety of philosophical perspectives.

It showcases novel attempts to combine proportionality and freedom that are inspired by Kant, Rawls and Bernard Williams. It also situates its central question within debates about the legitimacy of judicial power and keeps sight of the pivotal issues around the meaning of human rights that courts around the world use a proportionality analysis to resolve.

Royal Law

Prerogative Foundations Robert Craig, University of Bristol, UK This book argues that all non-statutory powers of the Crown are royal prerogative powers and asserts that the Crown does not possess or exercise any 'third source' powers, common law powers or 'Ram doctrine' style freedoms. Taking the definitions of royal prerogative powers presented by AV Dicey, Blackstone, Wade and Harris in turn the book argues that recent case law considering third source powers must be reconsidered as examples of judicial regulation of prerogative powers, including an often-overlooked prerogative power to administer the realm.

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.

Constitutionally Conforming Interpretation – Comparative Perspectives Volume 1: National Reports

Edited by Matthias Klatt, University of Graz, Austria This book is part of a 2-volume set which investigates the canon of constitutionally conforming interpretation.

Both volumes analyse the canon’s use in the national, supranational and international context and reflect on the issues raised.

This volume presents national reports from 19 jurisdictions, to shed light on the canon’s structural background, the conditions of its application, and its critical reception. Together with volume 2, which explores the canon’s impact beyond the national context, this book sets the stage for cross-national discourse.

Human Rights and Corruption in Brazil Democracy at a Crossroads

Lucas Delgado, Brazilian Council of Justice, Brazil This book identifies 2 polarising concepts used by Brazilian sociology to explain the formation of Brazil as a society: corruption and human rights.

The book examines the outcomes of international human rights regimes in Brazil, involving rights and policies related to: the right to food, the fight against hunger, and conditional cash transfer programs; the right to health and the public healthcare system; the right to racial equality and affirmative action in superior education; and the right to recognition and the protection of indigenous populations.

The book sheds light on how democracy evolves or recedes over time under their influence.

Emerging Constitutionalism in South Sudan Challenges and Opportunities

Mark A W Deng, University of Melbourne, Australia This book offers the first in-depth analysis of the emerging constitutionalism in South Sudan and the challenges it faces.

It critically analyses the constitution-making processes that occurred in South Sudan between 2005 and 2011, finding that there was a failure of constitutional discourse. It goes on to analyse how the constitution is being implemented. It finds that, despite the clear division of powers and functions between the national government and the sub-national governments, what has emerged in South Sudan in the post-constitution-making period is a form of coercive centralism where the national government controls much of the political decision-making process.

Territorial Governance in Southeast Asia

Andrew Harding, National University of Singapore, Singapore This book advocates and defends the 3-decadelong decentralisation in Southeast Asia, arguing that it has on the whole been both successful and under-studied. Looking at 4 countries (Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia), the book considers the issues of decentralised or territorial governance - a globally significant development — especially with regard to its relationship to societal pluralism, which is prevalent in Southeast Asia.

Constitutionalism in Asia

This book analyses the equal citizenship claims of women and sexual and gender diverse people across several Asian jurisdictions. Leading comparative constitutional law scholars identify ‘opportunity structures’ to explain the uneven advancement of gender equality through constitutional litigation and consider a combination of variables which shape the diverging trajectories of the jurisdictions in this study. The authors also embed the relevant constitutional and legal developments in their historical, political and social contexts.

The chapters cover East Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea), South-East Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Indonesia), and South Asia (India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka).

Questions of Accountability Prerogatives, Power and Politics

Facts in Public Law Adjudication Edited by Joe Tomlinson, University of York, UK & Anne Carter, University of Adelaide, Australia

Edited by Matthew Flinders, University of Sheffield, UK & Chris Monaghan, University of Worcester, UK

This book considers how courts engage with questions of fact in public law adjudication. It also considers whether the existing laws and practices surrounding evidence are sufficient, and how other disciplines might assist the courts.

This book explores accountability from a range of perspectives, crossing traditional disciplinary, thematic, and professional boundaries. It asks fresh questions about accountability and its place and importance in democratic societies, and considers the issues raised by the shifting architecture of accountability.

The book reconnects the key practical issues surrounding evidence and facts with the lively academic debate on judicial review in the common law world; it therefore contributes to an emerging area of scholarly debate and also has practical implications for the conduct of litigation and government policy-making.

Bringing together world-leading scholars and former politicians and public servants, the book provides the reader with the answers to the most debated issues surrounding accountability, including rarely discussed ‘pathologies of accountability’, post-human governance, and a focus on proportionality.

Disruption, Innovation and Re-alignment in UK Consumer Law and Policy Edited by James Devenney, University of Reading, UK & Christian Twigg-Flesner, University of Warwick, UK

This book sets out the future directions for UK consumer law and policy.

After decades of EU-driven development, the continuous improvement of UK consumer law and policy has stalled after Brexit.

This presents an opportunity for realigning UK consumer law and policy towards a consumer-centric focus and to develop innovative solutions.

The book shows how the UK could develop in response to both major and specific challenges. Topics include a historical perspective on consumer law, consumer law reform, the implications of Brexit, vulnerability, changing paradigms, challenges in the context of financial services and digital consumer law, and enforcement.

Residential Construction Law The UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand

Philip Britton, formerly King's College London, UK, Matthew Bell, University of Melbourne, Australia, Deirdre Ní Fhloinn, Bar of Ireland & Kim Vernau, Women’s Pioneer Housing, UK This acclaimed book is the first of its kind to offer a systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction.

The updated edition addresses two fundamental questions: what assurances can the law give buyers (and later owners and occupiers, including renters) of homes that construction work will comply with applicable standards of design, safety and build quality? And what forms of redress can residents expect, when, often long after completion of construction, they discover defects?

The book addresses these central issues in a comparative context across the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

The Transformation of Consumer Law and Policy in Europe Edited by Hans-W Micklitz, European University Institute, Italy & Christian Twigg-Flesner, University of Warwick, UK

With contributions by leading consumer law scholars from across Europe, this book is a fascinating account of how consumer law has been transformed since the turn of the millennium, often shaped by national as much as European interests.

Questions of Liability

Cause and Consideration

Exploring the Foundations of Contract Law Edited by Bruno Rodríguez-Rosado, University of Málaga, Spain, Rocío Caro Gándara, University of Málaga, Spain & Antonio Legerén Molina, University of A Coruña, Spain This book provides a comprehensive study of two parallel notions of civil and common law: cause and consideration.

It does this in three ways; with historical, comparative, and functional perspectives. Aspects of cause and consideration are hotly contested by contract lawyers and this book will bring clarity by looking at the English and Continental positions. Key areas of focus include: enforceability, questions of legality and morality, contractual justice, and the correction of unjustified property displacements.

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.

L A W - H A R T – Contract, Tort & Restitution Law

Hart Studies in Private Law

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.

L A W - H A R T – Criminal Law

Criminal Justice in Austerity

Legal Aid, Prosecution and the Future of Criminal Legal Practice James Thornton, Nottingham Trent University, UK This book offers a timely and detailed examination of the reality of criminal legal practice today.

Drawing upon extensive anonymous interviews with criminal lawyers in England and Wales, it illuminates how financial pressures can arise within the criminal justice system and how lawyers seek to navigate them. It considers whether the criminal legal aid system really can provide those unable to afford a lawyer with access to justice and whether the Crown Prosecution Service can provide justice to victims of crime.

Criminology as a Moral Science Edited by Anthony E Bottoms, University of Cambridge, UK & Jonathan Jacobs, City University of New York, USA

This book proposes an explicit recognition of criminology as a moral science: a philosophically textured appreciation of the presence and role of values in people’s reasoning and motivation, set within an empirically rigorous social-scientific account. This endeavour requires input from both criminologists and philosophers, and careful dialogue between them.

The issues raised go to the heart of some currently pressing topics within criminology, notably the development of ‘evidencebased practice’, which requires some kind of stable bridge to be built between research evidence (‘facts’) and proposals for policy (‘evaluative recommendations’).

Before Environmental Law

A History of a Vanishing Continent Benjamin J Richardson, University of Tasmania, Australia This landmark book unveils the history of defending Australia’s natural environment and examines the subject’s legal and political contexts from the birth of the nation in 1901 until the advent of the socalled modern era of environmental regulation in the late 1960s.

This book offers scholars and students of environmental law and legal history a unique story about the failures and successes in the making of environmental law.

L A W - H A R T – Equity & Trusts / European Law

Swedish Studies in European Law Asia-Pacific Trusts Law, Volume 3 Boundaries in Context

Edited by Ying Khai Liew, University of Melbourne, Australia & Masayuki Tamaruya, Tokyo University, Japan This collection explores the boundaries of trusts law in the Asia-Pacific region.

It is uncontroversial to state that the region’s jurisdictions are diverse, reflecting a mix of histories, economies, politics, and legal systems.

This collection illustrates how this diversity is reflected in trusts law.

But this thematic and systematic exploration from a region-wide perspective also identifies patterns of commonality in those factors which limit the operation of trusts law, particularly as jurisdictions encounter domestic and international challenges. By charting both convergence and divergence, this study is pivotal in shaping and guiding the future development of trusts law in the region.

Free Movement Rights for Atypical Workers Alice Welsh, York Law School, UK

This open access book challenges the focus in EU citizenship scholarship which looks only at the economically active. Arguing that the 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. It argues that, if EU free movement rights are awarded on the basis of market credentials, more must be done to ensure an inclusive market citizenship.

Immediate and Progressive Realisation in International Human Rights Law

Tobias Wirthle, Münster University, Germany This book makes a new contribution to the old debate about differences between socio-economic and civil and political rights. Though now widely accepted, less attention has been paid to whether it is still valid. This book asks this question, assessing the traditional differentiation in the context of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It shows that these rights converge more than diverge and this accepted difference should be abandoned.

Human rights lawyers, advocates, practitioners and policy makers will find this invaluable as it brings clarification to this key question.

Banning ‘Conversion Therapy’ Legal and Policy Perspectives

The Effectiveness of the InterAmerican Court of Human Rights

The Case of Indigenous Territorial Rights Gabriela CB Navarro, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has the most developed jurisprudence on indigenous rights, yet this case law is understudied. This book addresses this gap by exploring the Court and its cases from both the perspective of international law and the legal protection of indigenous territories. Setting out the network of actors and institutions involved in such litigation, it examines the motivations and constraints in domestic politics affecting international orders (and by extension the impact of the Court). It provides both an important statement on the effectiveness of international tribunals and a fascinating insight into the evolution of indigenous rights.

Copyright and Anonymity in the Creative User-Generated World Rachel Maguire, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

This book explores the relationship between copyright law, online anonymity, and creative usergenerated content (CUGC).

It evaluates the co-existence of copyright law and normative systems regulating a CUGC landscape made up of artists, photographers, and writers, and makes novel recommendations for copyright reform. It takes a multi-jurisdictional approach across Anglo-American and EU legal systems; qualitative findings are drawn from creators and communities on Reddit and 4chan.

This valuable resource for researchers and students provides a distinct perspective in framing CUGC creators as copyright holders, using original empirical research and examining online anonymity as a pivotal factor influencing regulation.

Defaming the Freedom of Religion or Belief

The Heroes of the Judicial Periphery

Mirjam Belkis van Schaik, Open University, the Netherlands

Edited by Alan Uzelac, Zagreb University, Croatia & Stefaan Voet, KU Leuven, Belgium

A Historical and Conceptual Analysis of the United Nations

This book examines the evolution and controversies surrounding the formulation and interpretation of the freedom of religion or belief as a universal right within the United Nations.

From legal and philosophical standpoints to the political dimensions of the subject, the book navigates through the complex terrain, shedding light on challenges to the universality and nondiscriminatory implementation of this fundamental freedom. Beyond theoretical and legal debates, the study reveals how actors within the United Nations have strategically 'defamed' the freedom of religion or belief, reshaping its interpretation away from its original 1948 objectives.

Court Experts, Court Clerks, and Other Actors in the Shadows

This book assesses the role of the clerks, advisors and expert witnesses and other important actors on the ‘judicial periphery’ who play an important role and often determine the pace, outcome, and tone of the judicial process.

It explores the particularly complex relationship which exists between litigation and court experts. Their knowledge and expertise may be indispensable at times, but it is among the most expensive, complicated and time-consuming means of evidence. The judges adjudicate, but where experts are involved in the process, they have a decisive impact on the outcome of litigation.

Medical Decision-Making with Children and Young People

Rebecca Limb, University of Southampton, UK. This book provides a timely and much-needed critical legal review of children’s participation in healthcare that goes beyond merely documenting the extent and scope of participation, and explores the importance, definition of, and barriers to their meaningful participation.

The book explores to what extent national law and international nonbinding conventions have created a ‘right’ to participation, studies the application of national law in clinical practice asking whether the law facilitates meaningful participation, and analyses the interaction between law and quasi-legal regulations. It will be useful for academics, children’s activists, and legal and clinical practitioners.

Free Speech Theory A Radical Restatement

Paul Wragg, University of Leeds, UK What does free speech mean? In this book, Paul Wragg argues for a universal formulation of free speech drawn exclusively from autonomy. He demonstrates that although the right has some applicability to the horizontal plane, it is more restrictive in some contexts, and more empowering in others, than the literature presently recognises.

This innovative, rigorously researched, and comprehensive restatement of the right to free speech is both topical and important.

It is an invaluable resource for policy makers, practitioners, and commentators across the globe.

The Law, Politics and Theory of Treaty Withdrawal Frederick Cowell, Birkbeck College, UK

This book explores how the law of treaty withdrawal operates. In particular, it focuses on withdrawal clauses within multilateral treaties. It situates these clauses within the wider context of the international rule of law. It goes on to show that for such withdrawal clauses to work, States have to behave as rational actors, averse to damaging their reputation and be willing to accept the existence of a wider rule-bound framework.

Using insights from international relations and critical legal theory this book unpacks how and why the law of withdrawal operates and the forces that threaten its operation in the future.

Tax, Public Finance, and the Rule of Law Edited by Dominic de Cogan, University of Cambridge, UK, Alexis Brassey, University of Cambridge, UK & May Hen, University of Cambridge, UK

This book offers a key point of reference for reflective and thoughtful examinations of the rule of law in tax and related disciplines.

It features a stellar cast of established and early-career researchers from a variety of jurisdictions who have entered into conversations about the nature of the rule of law; its relevance to questions about tax, welfare, distribution and public spending; and the challenges involved in applying legal standards in these fields.

The book is accessible to those new to taxation and public finance as well as to experts, and to lawyers and non-lawyers alike.
