A History of the Common Law of Contract: Volume I
ISBN: 9780198255734 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 650 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Common Law is one of the two major and successful legal systems developed in Western Europe and now in force, in one form or another, in America and Great Britain. Perhaps its most typical product is English Contract law, which developed at the close of the 14th century, assumed many of its characteristic doctrines in the 16th and 17th centuries, and evolved into its modern form in the 19th century. This book, which is written primarily from a doctrinal standpoint, takes the story up to the Statute of Frauds in 1677 and constitutes the first part of the history of contract law.

Form and Substance in Anglo-American Law: A Comparative Study in Legal Reasoning, Legal Theory, and Legal Institutions
ISBN: 9780198255772 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book has a completely original theme, or set of themes. It offers first a new way of analyzing styles of legal reasoning--between more "formal" and more "substantive" styles--that is a major contribution to jurisprudence in its own right. The authors then go on to demonstrate in detail the differences in legal reasoning--and in the legal systems as a whole--between England and America, and suggest that the English is a much more "formal" system and the American a more "substantive." Finally, the book explores a wide range of cultural, institutional, and historical factors relating to the...

Reasonable Care: Legal Perspectives on the Doctor-Patient Relationship
ISBN: 9780198255789 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Though more and more medical disputes are reaching the courts, English law still essentially allows doctors to set their own standards. Too often, the belief is that "doctor knows best." This book offers a sustained treatment of this issue, primarily as it arises in the hospital setting, but looking too at a range of therapies in different contexts. It argues for patient involvement in medical decision-making about their treatment, and critically examines approaches based on the assertion of patients' legal rights. As such, it provides a valuable analysis of the central areas of medical law...

This study brings the fruits of writings in political science and political theory to bear on the issues of public law. A critical examination of the centralist democratic views of Dicey is followed by an extensive discussion of a variety of pluralist theories of democracy, tracing their development in the U.S. from the early twentieth century to their more sophisticated recent versions. A similar analysis is applied to a cross-section of English pluralists, and in all cases the discussion is followed by criticism of the views expounded and an exploration of their implications for public law....

ISBN: 9780198256663 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Can the law really protect human rights when they are most under siege? During much of South Africa's state of emergency, the country's highest court grimly rejected efforts to use the law to restrain emergency power. This work examines the intersection between law and emergency power in South Africa. Ellmann begins with an outline of the legal framework that exists in South Africa, pointing out the capacity it has to mitigate the excesses of the legislators' designs. He continues by demonstrating through the judges decisions that, with few exceptions, they repeatedly vindicated the emergency...

ISBN: 9780198256922 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How have legal philosophers systemized law, and what types of assumptions have they made in undertaking this task? In what sense is law a system, and how is it maintained as such? This translation of a French book answers these two core inter-related questions by surveying and analyzing the theories of a number of important European legal philosophers as well as offering its own distinct theory for viewing the law as a system.

Provocation and Responsibility
ISBN: 9780198256960 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Little has been written by lawyers about the effect of provocation on culpability for homicide in English law, yet the question of what our moral attitudes should be towards someone who kills or injures another in anger has been a source of lively debate for centuries. The first philosophical inquiry into the moral character of actions in anger, it seeks to resolve the philosophical controversies generated by setting them in the context of an examination of the place of anger in human nature throughout history. A previously unexplored area of research, this work breaks new ground in its use...

A Normative Approach to War: Peace, War, and Justice in Hugo Grotius
ISBN: 9780198257097 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This work presents a scholarly commentary and critique of Hugo Grotius' De Jure Belli ac Pacis. It shows that, far from being a bookish theoretician indulging in the construction of an abstract system, Grotius ultimately aimed to create a practically oriented treatise focusing on "regulating and restraining war." It also re-examines the historiography of international law with its anachronistic Eurocentric bias.

Financial Conglomerates and the Chinese Wall: Regulating Conflicts of Interest
ISBN: 9780198257134 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While conglomerates bring with them many economic benefits, such as diversification of risk and economies of scale, they also impose such costs as systemic risk and conflict of interest abuses. This book explores how regulators can ensure that conglomerate regulation is sufficiently strong to eradicate abuses but sufficiently flexible to secure the benefits of conglomeration. The Chinese Wall - a regulatory mechanism aimed at stemming the flow of information from one department in a firm to another, and reconciling conflicts of interest more generally - is singled out for special...

EC Tax Law
ISBN: 9780198257646 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Tax law and fiscal policy are subjects which are generally considered to be close to the heart of the Single European Market, yet because of the complexity of EC tax law few have attempted to grapple with its multifarious difficulties. There is, strangely, little literature on the subject. This new book by two experienced EC lawyers fills that gap by examining in some detail the various tax regimes affecting the Community and uncovers the links between policy and law-making in a way which will give all readers a firm understanding of the principles of EC tax law.
