Insurance Law: Doctrines and Principles

This book presents a detailed examination of the developing law of insurance which combines exposition with critical analysis. The intention is to meet the needs of typical undergraduate courses, while also providing the essential framework for those studying insurance law at postgraduate level. The authors have complemented the text with extensive citations to case law and academic commentaries making the book ideal for students, scholars and practitioners alike. The book is divided into three parts. Part I considers the general princioles underlying the law of insurance contracts. Part ii examines the way in which these principles are shaped by the particular insurance context in which they operate. Part iii considers the regulation of insurance business, the role played by insurance intermediaries and the protection of policyholders. Emphasis is given to the proposed reforms of insurance law both at national level and from the EU perspective.

The law of personal property covers a wide spectrum of scenarios and has had little detailed scrutiny of its overarching structure over the years. This is a shame. It is a system and can best be understood as a system. This new textbook provides a comprehensive and detailed coverage of personal property law in England and Wales. It includes transfer of legal title to chattels, the nemo dat rule, negotiable instruments, and assignment of choses in action. The book also looks at defective transfers of property and the resulting proprietary claims, including those contingent on tracing, the tort of conversion, bailment, and security interests. By bringing together areas often scattered throughout company law, commercial law, trusts, and tort textbooks, it enables readers to see common themes and issues and to make otherwise impossible generalizations across different contexts about the nature of the concepts applied in English law. Throughout the book, concepts are explained rigorously, with reference to how they are used in commercial practice and everyday life. The book will be useful to students in undergraduate commercial law courses, or related LLM courses, as well as those in integrated property law courses and, particularly, specialized personal property modules. It will also benefit academics and practitioners.

This book is intended to serve as a first acquaintance with competition law and is written in particular for students who intend to study a foundation course in competition law. The current competition law in the UK consists of two main levels: EC competition law and UK competition law. In this introduction, both levels are covered, along with an abbreviated introduction to the EC rules on state aids. An important function of this book is to provide an insight into the combined system of UK and EC competition law. For the three main subjects-the prohibition of cartels, the prohibition of the abuse of a position of dominance, and the supervision of concentrations (mergers and acquisitions)-extensive examples, drawn from European and UK practice, have been provided. These examples are then used in the explanation of the general principles, taking into account the changes as a result of the recent introduction of Regulation 1/2003. The book is designed to reach a broad range of readers: students, teachers in further and higher education, officials, and practicing lawyers who are not usually faced with competition law issues in their everyday working lives. Extra information has also been included in the footnotes, indicating references to the more specialized literature.

An Introduction to Competition Law

The Bermuda Form catastrophe insurance policy covers liabilities for exposure to catastrophes such as serious explosions or mass tort litigation. It includes a clause requiring disputes to be arbitrated under English procedural rules in London but, very unusually, subject to New York substantive law. This calls for an unusual mix of knowledge and experience on the part of the lawyers involved, each of whom will also be required to confront the many differences between English and US legal culture. A related feature of the Form is that the awards of arbitrators are confidential and not subject to the scrutiny of the courts. Therefore, while many lawyers have been involved in litigating on the Bermuda Form their knowledge remains locked away. Thus, despite its considerable importance, the Bermuda Form is not well understood, a situation not helped by the lack of publications dealing with it. Accordingly, those required to deal with the Form professionally are confronted with a lengthy and complex document, but with very little to aid their understanding of it. This unique and comprehensive work offers a detailed commentary on how the Form is to be construed, its coverage, the substantive law to be applied, the limits of liability, exceptions, and, of course, the procedures to be followed during arbitration proceedings in London.ËœËœËœËœ

How can we characterise law and legal theory in the twenty-first century? Law After Modernity argues that we live in an age 'after Modernity' and that legal theory must take account of this fact. The book presents a dynamic analysis of law, which focuses on the richness and pluralism of law, on its historical embeddedness, its cultural contingencies, as well as acknowledging contemporary law's global and transnational dimensions. However, Law After Modernity also warns that the complexity, fragmentation, pluralism and globalisation of contemporary law may all too easily perpetuate injustice. In this respect, the book departs from many postmodern and pluralist accounts of law. Indeed, it asserts that the quest for justice becomes a crucial issue for law in the era of legal pluralism, and it investigates how it may be achieved. The approach is fresh, contextual and interdisciplinary, and, unusually for a legal theory work, is illustrated throughout with works of art and visual representations, which serve to reinforce the messages of the book.

Law After Modernity

Scott, Sionaidh Douglas

This new book is designed to introduce the lawyer who is 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 primarily 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. After a general introduction to the common law system-how a common lawyer reasons and finds the law-the book explains the principles of the law of contract in English law covering all the aspects of a contract from its formation to the remedies available for breach, whilst directing attention in particular to those areas where the approach of English law is in marked contrast to that taken in many civil law systems.
