Non-Compensatory Damages In English Law - A Reinterpretation

by Vaclav Janecek

~~107,33€~~ 96,60€ 10% OFF

 This book gives the first detailed analysis of non-compensatory damages ('NCDs') as a category in English tort and contract law.

Offering both a unique theoretical framework and an emphasis on practical application, this will be of interest to both scholars and practitioners of English private law.

Disruption, Innovation And Re-Alignment In Uk Consumer Law And Policy

~~113,29€~~ 101,96€ 10% OFF

 This book sets out the future directions for UK consumer law and policy. After decades of EU-driven development, the continuous improvement of UK consumer law and policy has stalled since Brexit. Yet, there are major challenges, including the progressive digitalisation of the consumer environment, the need to reconcile sustainability with consumption, and the need for better crisis resilience, alongside more specific concerns such as better enforcement or subscription contracts. The disruption caused by Brexit demands a comprehensive solution to ensure that UK consumer law and policy remains current and robust rather than becoming moribund. It also presents an opportunity for realigning UK consumer law and policy towards a consumer-centric focus and to develop innovative solutions to contemporary consumer challenges. With original contributions from leading consumer law scholars, the book shows how the UK could develop in response to both major and specific challenges. Topics include a historical perspective on consumer law, consumer law reform, the implications of Brexit, vulnerability, changing paradigms, challenges in the context of financial services and digital consumer law, and enforcement.

Regulation That Works - Transforming The Future Of Regulatory Spaces

by Christopher Hodges

~~32,18€~~ 28,96€ 10% OFF

 This book explains what regulation is and is not. It clarifies how regulation actually works, and how it can be made better. It also sets out how regulation should be done given fundamental challenges and changes to how we have done it. What is regulation trying to achieve? Is there too much red tape? Does regulation impede growth and innovation? Does regulation provide protection, and stability, and fair behaviours? Is it effective? How do we know if it succeeds? The book illustrates competing regulatory models, and how multiple tools work but also how things need to work differently in the future. Given the pace of change in new technologies, creating unknown and uncontrollable risks, and the global nature of these technologies, we can only keep ourselves safe if we modernise how we 'do' regulation and work in collaborative ecosystems in which everyone works together to identify and control new harms. We should be aiming to achieve multiple outcomes, including protection as well as fair markets, facilitating innovation, and economic growth and social cohesion. The book elucidates how this is all possible if we organise ourselves and behave in new ways. Examples show sectors where all of this is already being applied in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK.This is a revolutionary book, and a must-read for anyone who wants to effect change in their regulatory spaces.

Viability In Corporate Debt Restructuring Law

by Lydia Tsioli

~~33,13€~~ 29,82€ 10% OFF

 This book constitutes the first holistic and comprehensive analysis of corporate debt restructuring law through the lens of viability. Viability has been a largely unexplored notion in European and English scholarship, and in the US there has not yet been any systematic examination of the Chapter 11 provisions through the lens of viability. Yet, the notion is of pivotal importance because it determines which debtors are worth being rescued.In this book, Lydia Tsioli conducts an in-depth examination of Chapter 11, English restructuring frameworks and the European Directive on restructuring and insolvency. Through this examination Tsioli uncovers, critically evaluates and makes proposals for the optimal reflection of viability on their provisions, and consequently the increased 'filtering efficiency' of such frameworks. These proposals can provide invaluable guidance for both the upcoming review of the European Directive in 2026 and the ongoing development of American and English restructuring law. Viability in Corporate Debt Restructuring Law explores a notion that constitutes corporate debt restructuring's most fundamental pillar. It serves as an essential resource for all those working in restructuring and insolvency law globally: scholars, students, policymakers, practitioners and judges.

Antitrust Law And Intellectual Property Rights - Cases And Materials

by Christopher R. Leslie

136,46€ + 10% CARD

 In Antitrust Law and Intellectual Property Rights: Cases and Materials, Christopher R. Leslie describes how patents, copyrights, and trademarks confer exclusionary rights on their owners, and how firms sometimes exercise this exclusionary power in ways that exceed the legitimate bounds of their intellectual property rights. Leslie explains that while substantive intellectual property law defines the scope of the exclusionary rights, antitrust law often provides the most important consequences when owners of intellectual property misuse their rights in a way that harms consumers or illegitimately excludes competitors. Antitrust law defines the limits of what intellectual property owners can do with their IP rights. In this book, Leslie explores what conduct firms can and cannot engage in while acquiring and exploiting their intellectual property rights, and surveys those aspects of antitrust law that are necessary for both antitrust practitioners and intellectual property attorneys to understand. This book is ideal for an advanced antitrust course in a JD program. In addition to building on basic antitrust concepts, it fills in a gap that is often missing in basic antitrust courses yet critical for an intellectual property lawyer: the intersection of intellectual property and antitrust law. The relationship between intellectual property and antitrust is particularly valuable as an increasing number of law schools offer specializations and LLMs in intellectual property. This book also provides meaningful material for both undergraduate and graduate business schools programs because it explains how antitrust law limits the marshalling of intellectual property rights.
