The Regulation of International Commercial Arbitration Arbitrators’ Duties and the Emerging Arbitral Market
João Ilhão Moreira, University of Macau, China
This book addresses how the regulation of international commercial arbitrators takes place International commercial arbitrators are a unique category of service providers because they are not organised as other professionals such as accountants, lawyers and doctors The book provides an overview of how and why the regulation of international commercial arbitrators diverged from that of other professions It also argues that, despite these differences, there is an effective regulatory environment overseeing the behaviour of international commercial arbitrators
The book unpicks the different elements that contribute to the creation and enforcement of professional norms in this field It explains how the specific characteristics of the arbitral market create strong incentives for ethical norms to be created, even in the absence of the institutions that usually address these issues in other fields It also describes how market and social forces drive arbitrators to comply with these norms in most circumstances Finally, the book addresses the ways in which this regulatory system also explains some of the perceived weaknesses of arbitration, namely the rising costs of proceedings and the perceived unfairness of appointments

The New Law of State Aid and Subsidies
Pablo Ibáñez Colomo, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
This book presents a positive account of state aid law at the EU, UK, and global levels, and provides the keys to understanding how it is adjusting to emerging realities
Industrial policy, decarbonisation, de-risking of supply chains: the regulation of subsidies is at the forefront of the transformations that the world economy is undergoing The book provides an overview of the foundations of EU State aid law, one of the most dynamic areas of EU law An up-to-date and accessible framework explains the core conditions underpinning the notion of State aid – including advantage and selectivity
The book also covers how the EU model has changed over the past decade It helps navigate the complex case law on the application of EU State aid law to tax rulings concluded with large multinationals (such as the Apple saga) as well as the perma-crisis of the regime since the COVID pandemic
The ways in which the EU model extends its reach beyond its borders – convergence and unilateral expansion – are also addressed The UK Subsidy Control Act 2022 and the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation are discussed and put in context
Conceived as a 'modular' book, it can be used both as a tool to navigate the fundamentals of the discipline and as a map to reflect upon its uncertain future

Venture Capital Investment and Government Incentives Law, Regulation, and Policy Design
Tamara
Wilkinson, Monash University, Australia
This book explores the best ways for governments to design venture capital investment incentives
Venture capital is a multi-billion-dollar industry and a major driver of innovation and national growth Investment in startup companies by venture capital funds helps finance new inventions and create wealth, economic growth, and jobs However, because venture capital investment is highly risky and sensitive to market downturns, many governments around the world use special legal and tax incentives to help encourage this form of investment Since the introduction of the first venture capital incentive in the USA in 1958, scores of venture capital incentives have come and gone These incentives have experienced varied success, with some failing entirely
The book is aimed at researchers and policy makers in law, finance and economics, as well as practitioners and investors in the venture capital space The book introduces the legal aspects of venture capital investment and presents a list of leading practice guidelines and recommendations to help policy makers design effective, efficient, and appropriate venture capital incentives
Fraud and Risk in Commercial Law
Edited by Paul S Davies, University
College London, UK &
Hans Tjio,
National University of Singapore
This book focuses on contemporary problems related to fraud and risk in commercial law
It has been said by some that we are in a ‘golden age of fraud’ In part this has been caused by globalisation, technological changes and the financialisation of business This has resulted in the creation of automated linkages with integrated supply chains and the creation of systemic risks, which have been exacerbated by new forms of intangible assets like tokens and their ease of movement While regulation has ebbed and flowed given the desire of governments to generate economic growth, as well as the distrust of their coercive powers, the courts have sought to strike a balance between considerations such as commercial certainty and fairness
The book provides an analysis of key contemporary issues on the theme of fraud and risk in commercial law, including: technology and fraud, secondary liability and ‘failure to prevent’ economic crime, abuse of business entities, insolvency and creditor protection, injunctions and other orders, cross-border issues, the relationship between regulation and private law, and solutions for policy makers

Constitutional Transplantations
The Diffusion and Adoption of Constitutional Ideas
Edited by Anat Scolnicov, University of Winchester, UK
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 current political and academic discourse
The contributors consider constitutional transplantation as a specific case of migration of ideas, and place it within that broader intellectual framework of movement of knowledge They analyse, from historical, conceptual, and normative angles, the transplantation of constitutions and constitutional ideas from one state to another, and the role played by existing cultures and histories in the reception of constitutional provisions and ideas
The book takes a broad view of the term ‘constitutional’ 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 are drawn from the fields of comparative constitutional law, medieval history, political philosophy, private law, and administration of justice

The Irish Court of Appeal
The First Decade of an Intermediate Appellate Court
Edited by Mark Coen, University College Dublin, Ireland & Noel McGrath, University College Dublin, Ireland
This book examines intermediate appellate courts by using the Irish Court of Appeal as a case study
The operation and contribution of intermediate appellate courts are often overlooked in legal scholarship, which tends to focus on apex courts, most frequently national supreme courts However, intermediate appellate courts perform a series of vital functions, including error prevention, the development of doctrine, and ensuring that apex courts are free to concentrate on issues of exceptional public importance The significance of intermediate appellate courts has increased in recent decades in tandem with an increase in the volume and complexity of litigation in many countries
The Irish Court of Appeal was established in 2014 and this enables a number of dimensions of non-apex courts to be examined, including the rationales for, and challenges of, inserting such a court into an existing and well-established legal system Institutional aspects of the court such as the appointment and promotion of its judges and its rules on dissent are analysed The process of 'setting up court' is described In addition, its contribution to some areas of substantive law over the first 10 years of its operation is evaluated

Constitutional Effectiveness
The Case of Germany's Basic Law
Dieter Grimm, Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, Germany
This book presents a unique account of the social and political impacts of the German Basic Law on the German Republic from 1949 to the present day
It considers the way in which the history of the Federal Republic of Germany has been decisively influenced by its Constitution, the Basic Law of 1949, and by the jurisprudence of the Federal Constitutional Court
The book argues that the historiography of the Federal Republic does little to reflect this influence The Basic Law is mentioned and so are occasionally rulings of the Federal Constitutional Court But the reader does not get the impression that they were of specific importance in Germany before and after reunification Legal scholars, on the other hand, are concerned about the legal consequences of the Basic Law, but do not analyse its impact in the real world
In this book, Dieter Grimm, himself a Justice of the Federal Constitutional Court from 1987 to 1999 and an expert on interdisciplinary research in law, history and political science, guides the reader through important developments and events that were determined or influenced by the constitution and its judicial interpretation

The Resilience of Democracy
Learnings from Stability Theory of Complex Systems
Joseph Livni
How fragile are current democracies? Joseph Livni interrogates the concept of democratic resilience through the lens of the equilibrium and stability of complex systems.
Drawing on political science, law, sociology, and psychology, this book offers diagnoses and potential solutions for preserving democracy Scholars of democracy, particularly those focused on democratic resilience, will find value in this book not because it answers familiar questions but because it offers unanticipated insights It demonstrates that neither the advocacy of individual actors nor the expansion of governmental authority guarantees democratic resilience, highlighting the unintended consequences of government actions and the hidden interconnections within societal systems that can disrupt stability Ultimately, Livni argues that democracies, especially in the United States, remain resilient This work provides scholars of law, sociology, and political science with a new framework for distinguishing between stabilizing and destabilizing actions, institutions, and structural reforms, opening a window to a deeper understanding of democratic resilience
Constitutional Reasoning in Latin America and the Caribbean
Edited by Johanna Fröhlich, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile
This book examines the reasoning practice of 15 constitutional courts and supreme courts, including the Caribbean Commonwealth and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Enriched by empirical data, with which it strives to contribute to a constructive and well-informed debate, the volume analyses how Latin American courts justify their decisions
Based on original data and a region-specific methodology, the book provides a systematic analysis utilising more than 600 leading cases It shows which interpretive methods and concepts are most favoured by Latin American courts, and which courts were the most prolific in their reasoning activities The volume traces the features of judicial dialogue on a regional and sub-regional level and enables the evaluation and comparison of each country’s reasoning culture in different epochs The collection includes several graphs to visualise the changes and tendencies of the reasoning practices throughout time in the region, based on information gathered from the dataset
To better understand the current functioning and the future tendencies of courts in Latin America and the Caribbean, the volume illuminates how constitutional and supreme courts have actually been making their decisions in the selected landmark cases, which could also contribute to future successful litigation strategies for both national constitutional courts and the Inter-American Court for Human Rights
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 Yet, there are major challenges, including the progressive digitalisation of the consumer environment, the need to reconcile sustainability with consumption, and the need for better crisis resilience, alongside more specific concerns such as better enforcement, students as consumers, or subscription contracts The disruption caused by Brexit demands a comprehensive solution to ensure that UK consumer law and policy remains current and robust rather than becoming moribund It also presents an opportunity for realigning UK consumer law and policy towards a consumer-centric focus and to develop innovative solutions to contemporary consumer challenges
With original contributions from UK consumer law scholars, 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

Medical Negligence and the Duty to Advise Beyond Autonomy Kumaralingam Amirthalingam
This book argues that patient autonomy and medical negligence make for strange bedfellows The emphasis on autonomy has distorted orthodox negligence principles, contributing to uncertainty and angst amongst healthcare professionals while eroding trust in the doctor-patient relationship
This work takes the current discourse beyond autonomy – which focuses on the rights of the patient, to agency and shared decision-making – which focus on the relationship between doctor and patient The core argument is built on a review of the theoretical foundations of negligence and the philosophical conceptions of autonomy Provocatively, this work argues against a rights-based approach to negligence – which can be confrontational – in favour of a human obligations approach, which is collaborative and thus well suited to the doctor-patient relationship
Drawing on the theoretical analysis, the book identifies doctrinal anomalies in the duty of care, standard of care, causation, and damage It critically analyses landmark UK Supreme Court cases, including Chester v Afshar, Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board, and McCulloch v Forth Valley Health Board, arguing that the law is increasingly detached from the realities of medical practice and reasonable expectations of patients Primarily based on UK law, the work also discusses Australian, Canadian, and Singaporean law
Free Movement of Legal Ideas
Towards a Dynamic Europeanisation of Private Law
Thomas Wilhelmsson, University of Helsinki, Finland
This seminal book develops a new perspective on the debate concerning the Europeanisation of private law
The theory is both realistic, building on existing experience, and normative as it focuses on the future It outlines ‘good’ Europeanisation in which legal sources can be used across borders; hence the free movement of legal ideas At its core, is the analysis of the legal consequences of growing societal uncertainty and increasing use of micro-politics, leading to a situation where the law develops through small narratives rather than according to a coherent master plan The inevitable rule of law concerns around such a development, have to be addressed by transparent legal reasoning
The author masterfully illustrates how this can be achieved in decision-making across Europe, drawing on arguments which are both substantive and authoritative in nature He shows how all legal actors, including decision-makers and scholars, are morally responsible for the choices made
This is a fascinating intervention in the field of European private law by one of its leading authorities

Prosecuting Crime in the Public Interest
How Tension between Independence and Accountability Threatens the Rule of Law in Australia
Kellie Toole, University of Adelaide, Australia
This book provides the first detailed analysis of the decision to prosecute made by the statutory Australian Offices of Director of Prosecution.
It examines the system of prosecution as part of the executive branch of government, and the role and challenges of the individual prosecutors who make decisions within the system It explores the tension between prosecutorial independence and prosecutorial accountability, and the paradox that political involvement in prosecutions is necessary for accountability and to uphold the public interest, but can compromise independence
The book makes a unique contribution to both Australian criminal law scholarship and to the international literature on criminal prosecution, by drawing on the sub-disciplines of criminal law and administrative law It includes case studies on prosecuting child sexual abuse, rape, and government espionage, and comparisons with common law and civil law countries including the USA, the UK, Italy and South Africa

Environmental Leverage in Times of Climate Crisis Product Standards, Carbon Border Measures and Preferential Trade Agreements Giulia Claudia Leonelli, LSE Law School, UK
This book offers a conceptually informed insight into the rise of ‘environmental leverage’ in times of climate crisis
The world is fast approaching a two degree Celsius increase in average global temperatures Against this troubling background, trade-related environmental leverage aims to promote the uptake of more ambitious environmental standards by third countries and market actors involved in transnational supply chains
Trade-related environmental leverage can help to remedy the failures of environmental multilateralism, reshape the trade agenda to cater to the demands of our time, and entrench greener forms of development and more sustainable production and consumption patterns Nonetheless, its boundaries must be appropriately circumscribed
The book assesses different forms of environmental leverage against the normative yardsticks of ‘environmental integrity’ and ‘environmental legitimacy’ Environmental integrity targets ‘green protectionism’ and ‘green discrimination’, drawing a line between the promotion of environmental values and the protection of economic interests Environmental legitimacy captures ‘eco-imperialism’, addressing the question of the treatment of differently situated countries and developing and least developed countries in particular The book employs an in-depth analysis of three case studies to operationalise this conceptual framework, articulating the limits to environmental leverage in legal terms

Critical Minerals, Sustainability, and the Energy Transition in the Global South A Justice Perspective
Susan Nakanwagi, Nkumba University, Uganda
This book addresses the relationship between efficient management of critical minerals and sustainability in the Global South, including Sub-Saharan Africa
Critical minerals are essential raw materials for the technologies that are pivotal in today's energy transition However, critical mineral host states and communities face social, economic, ecological, political, technological, and governance injustices The book contends that the criteria currently used in assessing criticality and critical mineral development do not fulfil the sustainable development ambitions of developing countries and that broader considerations must be taken into account to include the stakeholders involved as well as the spatial dimension of the critical mineral value chain
In particular, the book argues that the law must consider the broader context in which minerals become critical to particular processes It positions this argument within the current context of climate change, the just energy transition, the mineralsenergy nexus, and geopolitical tensions
By analysing the copper-cobalt value chain through case studies on DRC, Zambia, China, and the EU, the book provides new avenues for critical mineral development and acknowledges the necessity for sustainability amidst the exacerbated impacts of climate change
Addressing a key challenge of the global energy transition, the book argues for a just holistic framework, which includes parameters such as domestic value addition, human rights in business development, environmental sensitivity, the development of communication channels from remote marginalised communities to international policymakers, and the redesigning of criticality considerations beyond supply and economic aspects

UK Earth Law Judgments
Reimagining Law for People and Planet
Edited by Helen Dancer, University of Sussex, UK, Bonnie Holligan, University of Sussex, UK & Helena Howe, University of Sussex, UK
This open access book collects 11 reimagined judgments from the UK and challenges anthropocentrism in legal decision-making across a range of legal areas
It draws from a range of Earth law approaches including rights of nature, animal rights, environmental human rights, wellbeing of future generations, ecocide, and reinterpretations of existing legal principles
There is an urgent need to transform our legal institutions and cultures to foster healthier relationships between people and planet The book explores how relationships between people, place, and the more-than-human world are produced, transformed, and destroyed through law, the limits of current law and the potential for positive transformation A paradigm shift towards planetary, ecological and multispecies approaches offers possibilities for envisioning what the future of legal decision-making could look like
Beyond the judgments, the book critically reflects on the developing field of Earth law and its potential for reshaping legal reasoning in the UK and beyond It also offers possibilities for the future of Earth law from scholarly, educational, and policy perspectives within legal practice, training and education
The book is a must read for scholars, students, legal practitioners and activists questioning the role of law and courts as mechanisms for change

EU Trade and Investment Treaty-Making Post-Lisbon Moving Beyond Mixity
Gesa Kübek, Groningen University, the Netherlands
This book offers the first thorough legal analysis of the practice of mixity since the Lisbon Treaty, providing the perspectives of international, EU, and national law.
It sets out a detailed theoretical understanding of mixity, the common commercial policy, and the recent case law of the EU Court of Justice It assesses recent practice and current challenges, such as the non-ratification of mixed agreements, ensuring parliamentary participation in EU treaty-making, the new architecture for concluding EU trade and investment agreements, as well as the new trade agreement between the EU and the UK post-Brexit In so doing, the author argues that in the field of trade and investment, mixity is no longer a procedural technique to overcome legal uncertainties about competence allocations between the EU and the Member States Instead, mixity has become a deliberate substantive design choice This brings a fresh and innovative perspective to a key tenet of EU external relations law
The Dynamics of Powers in the European Union
Edited by Christina Eckes, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Päivi Leino- Sandberg, University of Helsinki, Finland & Anna W Ghavanini, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Separation of powers is the time-tested touchstone of the legitimate exercise of power in modern democracies This collection examines decision-making in the EU’s multilayered and polycentric constitutional structure through this lens
The focus on separation of powers reveals how strong executive powers collaborate in the EU as a single source of public power, which is not sufficiently counterbalanced by parliaments or the judiciary The collection explores 3 policy fields marked by crisis: the economic and monetary union (EMU), migration, and trade Drawing on expertise from across these sectors, with a strong conceptual thread linking all the contributions, this important work illustrates how different branches of government co-determine each others’ powers
EU Neighbourhood Law
Wider Europe and the Extended EU’s Legal Space
Alessandro Petti, University of Oslo, Norway
The rekindling of the European Union enlargement talks and Brexit require a reappraisal of the law of the EU's proximity policies In that light, this book turns Wider Europe into an analytical concept to capture the legal and political facets of the extension of the EU’s legal space in the Union’s neighbourhood
The book follows three lines of inquiry Firstly, it reflects on the similarities and differences between internal and external integration, drawing a distinction between EU membership law and EU neighbourhood law Secondly, it unravels the techniques for the extension of the EU’s legal space across different partnerships in the Union’s neighbourhood Thirdly, it sheds light on the political covenants underlying the variety of institutional arrangements of the extended EU’s legal space
The book discusses how EU neighbourhood law entails a reconfiguration of how sovereignty is exercised both in the EU and in third countries participating in the Wider Europe

EU External Relations and the Power of Law
Liber Amicorum in Honour of Marise Cremona
Edited by Kenneth A Armstrong, University of Cambridge, UK, Joanne Scott, European University Institute, Italy & Anne Thies, The University of Glasgow, UK
The breadth and depth of the scholarship of Marise Cremona is honoured in this collection of essays written by her colleagues and friends
Taking Cremona’s field-defining research as a point of reference, this collection of research articles examines the power of law in EU external relations Echoing the expansive scope of Cremona’s intellectual enquiries across the growing and diversifying field of external relations law, this volume offers new insights into the principles and procedures that underlie this area of law; the role and responsibilities of the EU as an international actor; and the strategies and instruments through which the Union pursues its external agenda
Spanning the analysis of foundational concepts and more contemporary interventions in respect of the environment, human rights, foreign direct investment and even Brexit, what emerges from this collection is a richly conceptualised and clear examination of the multiple ways in which the power of law captures or eludes the EU’s construction of a domain of external relations; a domain in which the EU interacts not only with its Member States but also other subjects of the international legal order

Good Judgment
The European Court of Justice as a Context-Conscious Lawmaker Urška Šadl, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Courts are context-conscious They solve legal disputes with societal impact in mind, using interpretive tools and procedural means This book develops concepts and methods for a systematic and legally informative analysis of this complex process The evidence delivered prompts a conversation about the authority courts have to change the law The analysis focuses on the European Court of Justice and its free movement case law The framework and theory, however, are relevant to courts and case law everywhere This is a compelling and intriguing examination of the ECJ and its shaping of a key tenet of EU law

Passion and Power A Life in Three Worlds
Harriet Newman Cohen
Passion and Power is about the life and career of Harriet Newman Cohen, one of the nation’s most celebrated divorce attorneys, as she navigated the male-dominated legal world from the 1970s to today This sweeping narrative details Harriet’s journey through three worlds: raising a family at a time when men held all the power, graduating from law school on the cusp of the “divorce revolution,” and re-fighting old battles over women’s rights in today’s time of reaction of retrenchment The frankness with which Harriet relates her own experience is matched by equally candid insights into how a legal system that often rewards bad behavior and irrational decision-making shapes the culture at large and impacts those trying to navigate their way towards a better life Writing with candor and humor, Harriet describes her encounters with celebrities, mentors, notable judges, allies, and adversaries She examines many cases but describes three in almost novelistic detail, all drawn from her own practice including her pivotal role in the “Case of a Lifetime,” the focus of the three-part documentary HBO series Nuclear Family (2021) Harriet is equally honest about the business side of the law the financial cost and psychological burden these proceedings impose on families and the sometimesheartbreaking collateral damage Passion and Power illuminates both a singular life and the legal and social revolution that changed, in fundamental ways, the sexual, financial, and cultural norms governing the most intimate relations between men and women

Landmark Cases in International Refugee Protection International Jurisprudence on the Rights of Refugees
Edited by Kirsten McConnachie, University of East Anglia, UK & Sarah Singer, School of Advanced Study, UK
This volume examines judicial decisions that have shaped the law of asylum and refugee protection
Each chapter analyses a single judicial decision and locates it in a wider legal, political and policy context, tracing its subsequent impact on refugee law and policy Some of the decisions analysed in this collection were foundational in establishing the reach of refugee law, particularly in defining the scope of the refugee definition Others engage with key areas of refugee rights in contexts which indicate a critical turning point in state refugee policy, such as interdiction of boats at sea, encampment and extraterritorial asylum processing mechanisms The contributions demonstrate how refugee protection is shaped by the intersection of different fields of law, including refugee law, human rights law, and domestic constitutional provisions
Reflecting this complexity, the collection explores decisions from the UK, Canada, USA, Kenya, Australia and Papua New Guinea, as well as regional courts including the European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and decisions of the United Nations Human Rights treaty bodies Authors include leading academics and practitioners in refugee and human rights law from a range of jurisdictions
Unified Patent Court
Procedure A Commentary
Christof Augenstein, Kather Augenstein, Germany, Sabine Agé, Hoyng Rokh Monegier, France & Alex Wilson, Powell Gilbert, UK
This Article-by-Article Commentary explains the Unified Patent Court (UPC) procedure against the framework of the provisions of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court (UPCA), drawing on the corresponding Rules of Procedure
The UPC is a court common to 18 EU Member States and offers a uniform and efficient system for patent litigation at European level Creating an efficient system requires clear and comprehensive rules governing the procedural aspects Such rules are to be found in particular in the UPCA, the Statute of the Unified Patent Court (UPCS), and the extensive Rules of Procedure
Understanding and navigating through the multiple rules is complex, not least because the UPC is in its infancy but also because of the contribution of national procedural laws in the legislative process This book provides a clear and structured approach with comparative insights from German, French, and UK law to indicate possible directions the UPC may take in future cases
The Protection of Traditional Knowledge at the Frontiers of Drug Discovery
Peter
S Harrison, University of York, UK
This book concerns the often fractious interface between drug discovery and commercialisation, environmental degradation, the biodiversity crisis, the exploitation of indigenous peoples and the destruction of their culture, the right to health, inequalities of power, and the ability of the law to protect knowledge
For millennia, medicinal plants have provided a trove of treatments for human ailments, and the key to that treasure has been the traditional knowledge of the indigenous peoples who have lived alongside these plants More recently that knowledge has been taken, often without consent or recompense, by Western science as a springboard for the development of pharmaceutical agents As a response to threats to biodiversity and indigenous culture, international mechanisms have created, or are creating, enforceable rights for indigenous peoples to control such knowledge
With a background in pharmacology and molecular biology and significant experience as a lawyer in pharmaceutical and biotech patent litigation, the author brings a fresh perspective to understanding the difficulties of enforcing such rights and, in particular, examines whether there is a philosophically justifiable limit to the downstream scope of such rights
This book is aimed at all those with an interest in the control of indigenous genetic knowledge and the protection of indigenous culture

Proportionality in EU Digital Law Balancing Conflicting Rights and Interests
Edited by Jan Czarnocki, KU Leuven Centre for IT & IP Law, Belgium & Przemyslaw Palka, Jagiellonian University, Poland
This book addresses the interplay between the proportionality principle and EU digital law
Does EU digital law provide a fair balance of rights and interests? How does proportionality limit legislation in the digital economy? How can it be used to balance competing rights and interests? Diving into the dialectics of law and technology, the book analyses the relevance of the proportionality principle in regulating the digital world and as a vital tool for balancing competing rights and interests
The chapters analyse how conflicting rights and interests are resolved in EU digital law through the proportionality principle and critically reflect on its application They scrutinise recent EU regulatory initiatives such as the GDPR, AI Act, Copyright Directive, DSA, and more They reflect on the unique context of AI systems regulation, digital marketing, and data protection, illuminating the application and impact of proportionality in these arenas
Providing an in-depth examination of legal actors and real-life conflicts resolved by applying EU digital law, the book explains the pivotal role of the principle of proportionality in achieving an optimal balance of rights in our digital era

AI Fairness and Beyond Law, Regulation, and Technology
Chris Reed, Queen Mary University of London, UK
This book proposes a regulatory system for ensuring that AI makes fair decisions
No one wants to be the subject of an unfair decision made by an AI, and fairness is so important to society that we are likely to want to regulate to demand it But how? This book attempts to answer that question
The aim of regulation must be for an AI’s decisions to match the human conception of fairness To understand what that is, the book proposes a holistic understanding of fairness, which tells us what regulation must try to achieve
However, regulation is not an abstract activity – it regulates how humans behave, and the humans in question are those who develop and use AI for decision-making Thus the book investigates how those humans are attempting to achieve AI fairness It finds that there is a serious mismatch between how technologists conceptualise fairness, compared to other humans How can AI regulation bridge this gap?
Traditional models of regulation cannot solve this problem Fairness is too nuanced, too contextual, and is ultimately a human emotional response Instead the book proposes to place the responsibility on the AI community to explain and justify their efforts to achieve fairness, basing regulatory and legal responses on how well that explanation deals with the risks that particular AI presents, and whether the AI operates in accordance with the explanation in use
The book concludes by examining how far this regulatory model might be useful for some of the other social problems which AI generates
An original and significant contribution to the literature on AI regulation, this book is a must-read for those working in the areas of law, regulation, and technology

Essays on the History of Equity
Edited by D Foster, University College London, UK & Charles Mitchell, University College London, UK
This volume presents various facets of the history of equity in England between the 14th and 20th centuries
Writing a history (or histories) of equity raises difficult questions of philosophy and theology, as well as jurisprudence and legal history When one speaks of ‘equity , for example, do we mean Aristotelian epieikeia, civilian aequitas, a theological/juridical conscience, the common law concept of the ‘equity of the statute’, or the rules applied by the court of chancery before 1875?
This terminological problem is compounded when we consider how these ideas were developed over time Whilst conscience had been an organising concept for St German, the political disputes surrounding the Earl of Oxford’s case introduced the prerogative into understandings of the chancery’s jurisdiction The emergence of clear, doctrinal rules governing (inter alia) the equity of redemption and the beneficiary’s right under a trust may well be attributable to the complex interplay of theory and practice in the central courts of equity at this time
If the earlier history of equity remains somewhat obscure, the same is no less true of developments in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries Whereas the historian of the 14th century might search in vain for new material, the modern era poses the opposite problem The overwhelming glut of undigested information in the later period – treatises, court records, reports, pamphlets, practice manuals – raises obvious issues of source selection when generating new narratives for the period
Whether by investigating the historical foundations of the modern law, the jurisprudential underpinnings of the equitable jurisdiction, or the socio-political context of discrete legal developments, this book exposes the strands of thought which ‘equity’ comprises and the mechanisms by which its rules evolved In so doing, this collection provides a useful way-marker for future studies in the nature of English equity

Women’s Legal Landmarks in the Interwar Years Not for Want of Trying
Edited by Rosemary Auchmuty, University of Reading, UK, Erika Rackley, University of Birmingham, UK & Mari Takayanagi, The Parliamentary Archives, UK
Women’s Legal Landmarks in the Interwar Years shines new light on 33 legal landmarks, many forgotten today, that affected women in England and Wales between 1918 and 1939
It considers the work of feminist activists to bring about legal change which benefited – or aimed to benefit – women Areas explored include property, inheritance, adoption, marriage, access to health care, criminal law, employment opportunities, pay, pensions and political representation It also examines campaigns by key women’s organisations, and assesses the impact of early women lawyers and politicians
While some of the landmarks effected change during this period, others provided the foundation for measures in later decades Together the landmarks demonstrate that far from being a relatively quiet period of British feminism, the interwar period played a key role in ongoing fights for recognition, representation and justice
Carbon-Free Shipping and Shipping Carbon Contracts in Context
Edited by Stephen Girvin, National University of Singapore & Vibe Ulfbeck, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
This book explores the private law implementation of the new international and EU regulatory framework targeting decarbonisation in the shipping industry
Compared with other sectors, the shipping industry has traditionally been labelled a ‘slow mover ’ concerning the sustainability agenda However, new regulatory measures on carbon reduction both internationally and in the EU require fundamentally new developments in the industry This book focuses on the goal of carbon reduction from a private law perspective and considers how the new regulatory framework can be implemented in the shipping industry
This book studies existing contractual provisions in charterparties and bills of lading alongside new contractual model clauses designed to facilitate carbon reduction It considers how the new clauses should be interpreted, whether they will transform traditional shipping contracts into more collaborative contracts, and how they will interact with other clauses in the contract and with other contracts in the supply chain The contractual analysis is considered in context, reflecting on enforcement issues, such as Port State Control (PSC), the Poseidon Principles, and climate change litigation
Green Shipping Contracts
A Contract Governance Approach to Achieving Decarbonisation in the Shipping Sector Pia Rebelo, The City Law School, UK
This book applies a contract-governance theory to the implementation of decarbonisation objectives in the international maritime sector
In doing so, it provides an overview of how the network of contractual relationships that characterise commercial shipping can become effective sites of collaboration between shipping actors to improve upon energy efficiency and CO2 reduction
To achieve this aim, the book investigates and develops a set of contractual tools that can enable private actors to strengthen their commitments to net-zero targets (whether state-mandated or voluntary) and develop cooperative norms to guide decision-making and contractual interpretation These mechanisms include contractual clauses and drafting considerations which can secure a desired outcome for contractual performance, thereby managing climate risks and providing adequate remedy where such risks materialise

Edited by Anton Asoskov, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia, Daria Levina, European University Institute, Italy & Milana Karayanidi, Dentons US LLP, USA
This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to Russian private international law (PIL) for the foreign lawyer
The book carefully examines the applicable conflict of law and jurisdictional rules on the basis of the relevant statutory provisions, case law, and doctrinal writings developed in Russia for the purposes of dealing with cross-border commercial issues It covers topics that will be of particular interest to comparative scholars, for instance the sources of PIL in Russia, including international conventions and treaties; party autonomy and the choice of law by the parties; determination of applicable law in the absence of choice by the parties; public policy exceptions and overriding mandatory provisions; and many more These and other topics serve as an entry point to the hybrid system of law that Russian PIL is: modelled on European law but characterised by its Soviet past

Private International Law in BRICS Convergence, Divergence and Reciprocal Lessons
Edited by Stellina Jolly, South Asian University, India & Saloni Khanderia, OP Jindal Global University, India
This book examines the convergences, divergences and reciprocal lessons that the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) share with one another in developing the principles of private international law
The chapters provide a thematic understanding of the cornerstones of private international law in each of the BRICS countries: namely, (1) the procedure to initiate claims in civil and commercial matters, (2) the law that would govern such matters in litigation and arbitration, as well as (3) the mechanism to recognise and enforce foreign judgments and arbitral awards
Written by leading private international law scholars and practitioners, the chapters draw on domestic legislation and its interpretation through cases decided by the courts in each of these emerging economies, and explicitly cover the rules applicable in contractual and non-contractual concerns and issues of choice of court agreements Issues around marriage, divorce, matrimonial property, succession and surrogacy are also addressed, considering the implication of such aspects through the increased movement of persons The book is a useful comparative resource for the governments of the BRICS countries, legislators, traders, academics, researchers and students looking for an in-depth discussion of the reciprocal lessons that these countries may have to offer one another on these issues

Pluralising Actors and Norms in Human Rights Treaties Beyond Monolithic States
Hinako Takata, Osaka University, Japan
This book radically reforms the classical paradigm of international law.
It proposes a novel theoretical framework of the ‘separation of powers in a globalised democratic society’, where both actors and norms are pluralised beyond a unitary and monolithic 'state' and international law as norms of, by, and for ‘states’
The book applies this framework to holistically examine the interactions between human rights treaty organs – the European Court of Human Rights, the InterAmerican Court of Human Rights, and the UN Human Rights Committee – and state organs, including parliaments, courts, administrative organs, and national human rights institutions The book provides an innovative, original contribution to both the theory and practice of international human rights law

Protecting the Right to Leave in an Era of Externalised Migration Control
Emilie McDonnell, Human Rights Watch, UK
This book explores the human right to leave any country – including one’s own – in international law, and its applicability to externalised migration control
It develops a framework for interpreting the right and demonstrates how various externalisation measures violate it, leading to the international responsibility of states and international organisations
Analysing the work of international and regional systems enshrining the right and examining global externalisation practices, it demonstrates the radical reform required by states and international organisations to comply with the right to leave Implementing the author's recommendations would compel the dismantlement of many current externalisation strategies and a re-imagining of the global (im)mobility regime
This book offers compelling insights for lawyers in the fields of international law, human rights and refugee law, as well as migration policymakers, practitioners, and officials

Responses to Sea Migration and the Rule of Law
Katia Bianchini,
Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany
In the current debates on sea migration there is a dearth of works drawing on the rule of law This important book addresses this failing
Considering the question from that conceptual framework, it is able to broaden the sometimes fragmented and incomplete perspective of existing scholarship The book takes as its central case study the experience of Italy, exploring the legal issues at play there and its institutional practices and policies From here its focus broadens out to the wider EU experience, looking in particular at those problems common to southern EU states, such as failures and delays in assisting migrants in distress at sea and contested legal grounds and practices concerning interceptions at sea It combines both legal and empirical data, charting both the black letter law and how it operates in practice
In a field as complex as this, this clarity is key; it allows lawyers, political scientists and policymakers to truly engage with the challenges sea migration poses today

Hybrid Warfare under International Law
Stuart Casey-Maslen,
University of Pretoria, South Africa
This book addresses the regulation of hybrid warfare under relevant branches of international law, beginning with the law on inter-state use of force (jus ad bellum)
Firstly, the book assesses the extent to which forms of hybrid warfare comply with or violate international humanitarian law/the law of armed conflict It then looks at law enforcement action in response to hybrid warfare, both on land and on the high seas, and addresses hybrid warfare from the perspective of international counterterrorism law It goes on to tackle the constraints applied to hybrid warfare under international human rights law, and looks at how hybrid warfare could be constrained under disarmament law The final two chapters look at accountability for the conduct of hybrid warfare, concluding with the question: can we move towards a less fragmented set of international legal rules that will govern hybrid warfare in the future?

Value Added Tax in the 21st Century Design, Challenges, and Opportunities
Yige Zu, Durham University, UK
Adopting distinct and new perspectives to analyse VAT policy and practice, this book explores the key design challenges and opportunities faced by VAT jurisdictions in the 21st century
The book shows how the VAT, the world’s most preferred form of consumption tax, has failed to live up to the expectations of its advocates since its earliest iterations about a century ago It identifies and explains the gaps between VAT theory and practice, drawing on lessons from recent international experience The book begins with an analysis of key design features of VAT systems, including concessions, registration thresholds and small business regimes It goes on to explore more complex issues, such as the application of the tax to financial supplies, sharing economy transactions, and international cross-border sales, as well as the treatment of transactions and revenue within jurisdictions that operate under multipletiered systems of government These issues represent challenges commonly encountered in VAT jurisdictions in modern economies The work outlines innovative and realistic reform proposals for a VAT suitable for a 21st century economy that are grounded in economic principles and at the same time, practicable in terms of law, policy, and administration It factors in, in particular, the political, technical, and administrative realities that policymakers in VAT jurisdictions must navigate when developing reform programmes
With guidance on VAT design and implementation for policymakers and law drafters, the book is also a valuable resource for academics, students, and practitioners interested in VAT policy and practice, and the interactions between tax law, policy and economic principles
