Book Synopsis Illegality after Patel v Mirza by : Sarah Green
Download or read book Illegality after Patel v Mirza written by Sarah Green and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Patel v Mirza [2016] UKSC 42, nine justices of the Supreme Court of England and Wales decided in favour of a restitutionary award in response to an unjust enrichment, despite the illegal transaction on which that enrichment was based. Whilst the result was reached unanimously, the reasoning could be said to have divided the Court. Lord Toulson, Lady Hale, Lord Kerr, Lord Wilson, Lord Hodge and Lord Neuberger favoured a discretionary approach, but their mode of reasoning was described as 'revolutionary' by Lord Sumption (at [261]), who outlined in contrast a more rule-based means of dealing with the issue; a method with which Lord Mance and Lord Clarke broadly agreed. The decision is detailed and complex, and its implications for several areas of the law are considerable. Significantly, the reliance principle from Tinsley v Milligan [1994] 1 AC 340 has been discarded, as has the rule in Parkinson v College of Ambulance Ltd [1925] KB 1. Patel v Mirza, therefore, can fairly be described as one of the most important judgments in general private law for a generation, and it can be expected to have ramifications for the application of the illegality doctrine across a wide range of disciplinary areas. Unless there is legislative intervention, which does not seem likely at the present time, Patel v Mirza is set to be of enduring significance. This collection will provide a crucial set of theoretical and practical perspectives on the illegality defence in English private law. All of the authors are well established in their respective fields. The timing of the book means that it will be unusually well placed as the 'go to' work on this subject, for legal practitioners and for scholars.
Book Synopsis Contents of Commercial Contracts by : Paul S Davies
Download or read book Contents of Commercial Contracts written by Paul S Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom of contract is a great strength of English law: indeed it is a key reason why English law is often the law of choice. But the terms of commercial contracts often restrict freedom of action. This book considers such terms. Leading commentators take stock of recent developments such as increased reliance on good faith/discretion and the rise of smart contracts. Insodoing, they make original contributions to ongoing debates concerning the limits to parties' freedom of contract. This important subject will interest drafters of commercial contracts keen to ensure that contracts are clear and enforceable; litigators disputing the meaning, scope and validity of terms; and academics interested in the purpose and nature of the exercises involved.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Abstract: The question of how civil law should respond to violations of legal prohibitions has and continues to torment judges and scholars on both sides of the English Channel. With the case of Patel v. Mirza, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has fundamentally revised the English law of illegality and in the process, as often occurs in such a revamping, has left hardly any of the original structure intact.This case note first describes the historical development of the illegality doctrine in English law before then presenting the ruling of the Supreme Court. Subsequently, German law is outlined and the resolution of the Supreme Court is comparatively assessed.

Book excerpt: This short paper analyses Lord Toulson's judgment in Patel v Mirza [2016] UKSC 42, and argues that that judgment is better analysed as ruling that in cases where a defence of illegality is advanced, the courts should adopt a 'structured discretion' in determining whether to allow the defence rather than considering a range of factors to see whether or not the defence should be allowed.

Book Synopsis The Canadian Law of Unjust Enrichment and Restitution by : Mitchell McInnes
Download or read book The Canadian Law of Unjust Enrichment and Restitution written by Mitchell McInnes and published by . This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 1785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although it is often referred to as "the third branch of private law", alongside contract and tort, the law of unjust enrichment and restitution is not well understood. That is true for a variety of reasons. The subject is seldom taught in law school. Many of the traditional cases speak in a language that is incomprehensible to modern ears. Most significantly, until now, there has not been a text that is structured in accordance with the modern Canadian principle of unjust enrichment.
Book Synopsis Unravelling Tort and Crime by : Matthew Dyson
Download or read book Unravelling Tort and Crime written by Matthew Dyson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tort law and criminal law are closely bound together but their relationship rarely receives sustained and rigorous scrutiny. This is the first significant project in England and Wales to address that shortcoming. Building on growing interest amongst both academics and practitioners in the relationship between tort and crime, it draws together leading experts to chart the field and explore key points of interest. It uses a range of perspectives from legal theory, doctrine, legal history and comparative law to address some of the most important and interesting links between tort and crime. Examples include how the illegality defence operates to avoid stultification of the law, the difference between criminal and civil causation, how the Motor Insurers' Bureau not only insures but acts to enforce laws and alter behaviour, and why civil law only very rarely restores specific property but the criminal law does it daily.

Book Synopsis The Illegality Defence by : Great Britain. Law Commission
Download or read book The Illegality Defence written by Great Britain. Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Consultation Paper gives provisional recommendations on whether a claimant who has been involved in illegal conduct should be entitled to enforce a claim in contract, unjust enrichment, trusts and tort. It follows earlier consultation papers on illegality in contacts and trusts (LCCP 154, 1999, 9780117302396) and the illegality defence in tort (LCCP 160, 2001, ISBN 9780117302457). How should the law respond if a claimant has been involved in some form of illegal conduct? Should this prevent the claimant winning his or her claim? It is difficult to set out hard and fast rules as the illegality defence may be used against claimants in such a wide variety of contexts. The courts have attempted to lay down a series of rules to apply in different circumstances. The result is a body of law which is uncertain and sometimes arbitrary, occasionally producing results which may appear unduly harsh or not harsh enough. The Commission believes that, in most areas of the law, it is up to the courts to develop clear, fair law, based on a set of policy rationales. Judges should base their decisions directly on the policies that underlie the illegality defence and explain their reasoning accordingly. The Commission makes proposals on what those policies should be. There is one area in which the Commission does not think that judicial clarification is possible: where a trust has been set up to hide true ownership for criminal purposes. The Commission feels that statutory reform is needed here, and is in the process of preparing a draft Bill which will be presented with the final report later this year.

Book Synopsis A Restatement of the English Law of Contract by : Andrew (hon) Burrows FBA
Download or read book A Restatement of the English Law of Contract written by Andrew (hon) Burrows FBA and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Restatement of the English Law of Contract is the second Restatement of English law undertaken by Andrew Burrows following on the success of A Restatement of the English Law of Unjust Enrichment (OUP, 2012). Designed to enhance the accessibility of the common law the Restatement comprises a number of clear succinct rules, fully explained by a supporting commentary, which set out the general law of contract in England and Wales. Written by one of the leading authorities in this area, in collaboration with an advisory group of senior judges, academics, and legal practitioners, the Restatement offers a novel and powerfully persuasive statement of the law in this central area of English law. All lawyers dealing with the English law of contract, whether as practitioners, judges, academics, or law students, cannot but benefit from this Restatement. The English law of contract is one of the most respected systems of contract law in the world and by the device of a 'choice of law' clause is often chosen by foreign commercial parties as the applicable law to govern their contract. One of the aims of the Restatement is for the reader, including those from civil law jurisdictions, to see quickly and easily how the different elements of the English law of contract fit together.

The first edition appeared fifty years ago, in 1966, and successive editions have played a major role in establishing the central importance of the subject for private and commercial law. The text is comprehensive in coverage and written by highly respected scholars who analyse and explain the principles governing claims in unjust enrichment, demonstrating how these principles have been applied through detailed discussion of case-law. The book is frequently cited in court and continues to set the agenda for future developments in the field. The new 9th Edition is completely up-to-date and contains detailed discussion of important decisions since the last edition. Many chapters have been rewritten to take account of significant new cases, and their impact on topics including the valuation of enrichments, the recovery of benefits from remote recipients, the recovery of benefits transferred by mistake, the recovery of money paid as tax that is not due, and the content of the tracing rules and their significance for the award of proprietary remedies."

Book Synopsis Tort Law Defences by : James Goudkamp
Download or read book Tort Law Defences written by James Goudkamp and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 is to reduce the size of this substantial gap in our understanding of tort law. The principal way in which it attempts to do so is by developing a taxonomy of defences. The book shows that much can be learned about a given defence from the way in which it is classified. This book has been awarded Joint Second Prize for the 2014 Society of Legal Scholars Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship.
