Description
Private law regulates life; this is self-evident, but how does it regulate death? This edited collection explores this question.
Life and death are the beginning and end of the legal person: the instigator and terminator of rights, interests and obligations. They are also the nominal separator of particular fields of law (medical law from succession law, for example). As such, they act as fault lines that can test the limit of private law principles and norms.
This book explores what life and death tell us about private law and what private law can tell us about the meaning and value of life and death.

Private Law and Building Safety
This collection of essays explores the real-world problem of building safety through the lens of private law. High profile building failures, including the fire at Grenfell Tower, London, England, and the collapse of Champlain Towers South, Florida, USA, have exposed widespread building safety failures globally. In this book, international experts deploy a variety of different private law perspectives, ranging through...Hardback$19800Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Contractual Indemnities
Promises of indemnity are found in many kinds of commercial contracts, not just contracts of insurance. Contractual Indemnities by Wayne Courtney examines the nature and effect of contractual indemnities outside the insurance context. It is the first work to provide a detailed account of the subject in English law. The book presents a coherent theory of the promise of indemnity...Paperback$13199Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Final Injunctions in Tort Law

The Scope and Structure of Unjust Enrichment
This ambitious book grapples with the complex debates ongoing on the structure of unjust enrichment, proving to be a major contribution to the field. Responding to the subjectβs critics, it presents a clearly articulated structure for this branch of private law, arguing that while unjust enrichment has the function of reversing defective enrichments (whether by performance or in another way)...Hardback$19800Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Unjust Enrichment and Countervailing Obligations
This book explores the relationship between the English law of unjust enrichment and legal obligations arising from other branches of the law. It examines the question primarily by considering how English courts resolve conflicts between restitution claims and countervailing legal entitlements.

Tort Law Defences
The law of torts recognises many defences to liability. While some of these defences have been explored in detail, scant attention has been given to the theoretical foundations of defences generally. In particular, no serious attempt has been made to explain how defences relate to each other or to the torts to which they pertain. The goal of this book...Paperback$6600Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Accessory Liability
Accessory Liability in the private law is of great importance. Claimants often bring claims against third parties who participate in wrongs. For example, the βdirect wrongdoerβ may be insolvent, so a claimant might prefer a remedy against an accessory in order to obtain satisfactory redress. However, the law in this area has not received the attention it deserves. The criminal...Paperback$7299Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
A Unified Approach to Contract Interpretation
Interpretation or construction is central to the operation of contract law. Despite the fundamental role it plays, there have been limited attempts to explain construction in holistic terms. This important book aims to fill that gap by offering a systematic exposition of the iterative process. It also goes further, suggesting practical solutions to disputes regarding questions of interpretation. The book...Hardback$41500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks
