Narrowing the Nation's Power: The Supreme Court Sides with the States
ISBN: 9780520240681 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Narrowing the Nation's Power is the tale of how a cohesive majority of the Supreme Court has, in the last six years, cut back the power of Congress and enhanced the autonomy of the fifty states. The immunity from suit of the sovereign, Blackstone taught, is necessary to preserve the people's idea that the sovereign is "a superior being." Promoting the common law doctrine of sovereign immunity to constitutional status, the current Supreme Court has used it to shield the states from damages for age discrimination, disability discrimination, and the violation of patents, trademarks,...

Human Rights in Private Law
ISBN: 9781841132136 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Uncertain Causation in Medical Liability
ISBN: 9781841135175 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Proving the cause of the plaintiff's injury in personal injury litigation often entails significant challenges, particularly when science cannot identify the cause of a biological phenomenon or when the nature of this cause is debatable. This problem is frequently encountered in medical malpractice cases, where the limitations of scientific knowledge are still extensive. Yet judges must decide cases, however uncertain the evidence with regard to proof of causation. Reluctant to leave patients without compensation, courts have in some cases challenged their traditional approach to causation...

The Division of Wrongs: A Historical Comparative Study
ISBN: 9780199562794 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The common law, despite procedural divisions, has only ever had one class of civil wrongs. The civilians, by contrast, have typically split their law of wrongs in two, one group being called "delicts" and the other "quasi-delicts." Yet this division, which originated in Roman law, remains mysterious: it is clear neither where the line was drawn nor why a separation was made along this line.
This book does two things. In the first two parts, it investigates the origins of the division and its development in a modern civilian jurisdiction, France. What is argued for is that the Roman...

Rediscovering the Law of Negligence
ISBN: 9781841139753 / Angielski / Miękka / 562 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers a systematic and theoretical exploration of the law of negligence. It re-establishes the notion that thinking about the law ought to and can proceed on the basis of principle. As such, it is opposed to the prevalent modern view that the various aspects of the law are, and must be, based on individual policy decisions, and that the task of the judge or commentator is to shape the law in terms of the relevant policies as s/he sees them. The book, then, is an attempt to re-establish the law of negligence as a body of law rather than as a branch of politics. Now in paperback, the...
