Key Ideas In Commercial Law

by William Day

~~16,68€~~ 13,34€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 <b>''Students will find this work stimulating, engaging and enlightening. Practitioners in commercial law will find nuanced and insightful articulations of their stock-in-trade.''</b> Sir David Foxton, Judge in Charge of the Commercial Court<br/><br/>This book unpacks the themes and controversies that pervade commercial law. Commercial parties trade in three things: property, services and credit. In all but the most basic of businesses, a commercial enterprise must have more than one individual empowered to transact on its behalf.<br/><br/>The rules at the heart of commercial law are those that govern when and how a person can bargain for property, services and credit, and to acquire, dispose of, and create interests in assets. Many of these are default rules, which the parties can vary by agreement. Other rules - such as those concerning the priority of competing title claims to assets - are mandatory. Commercial law also involves the taking and allocation of two types of risk: the risk of inadequate or non-performance of agreed obligations, and the risk that counterparties will lack the means to pay what is owed.<br/><br/>This book explores the key ideas in commercial law through these five topics: trade, transacting, title, performance risk, and credit risk.

Key Ideas In Trusts Law

by Nicholas Mcbride

~~16,68€~~ 13,34€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 This book provides an in-depth and easy to understand account of a subject that students often find dauntingly difficult to master. <br/><br/>The opening chapter sets out some definitions of what a trust is, and goes on to clearly explain the history of trusts law and how both trusts law and the roles played by trusts have changed over time. Different types of trust (trusts for persons, charitable and non-charitable purpose trusts, express trusts, constructive trusts, and resulting trusts) are explored in detail over the following two chapters. The fourth chapter sets out the law on when someone will commit a breach of trust and what remedies will be available when such a breach is committed; the obscure and intimidating terminology that affects this area of law is explained and made easy to use. A concluding chapter explores the harms caused by trusts law, particularly through its use to store wealth in tax havens abroad, and considers possibilities for reforming the law to mitigate those harms. <br/><br/>With references to almost 150 books and articles, and almost 150 cases, this book will save students a huge amount of time in terms of developing a sophisticated knowledge of the past, present and potential futures of trusts law both in England & Wales, and across the world, as well as the academic and judicial debates that surround this area of law.

Key Ideas In Law: The Rule Of Law And The Separation Of Powers

by Jack Beatson

~~20,26€~~ 16,21€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 Prompted by the events following the 2016 referendum on EU membership and written during the COVID-19 pandemic by one of the leading public lawyers of our day, this book considers two key constitutional principles, the rule of law and separation of powers, by examining the generality, certainty and predictability of law, relations between the different branches of the state, and the mechanisms of accountability within our democracy.<br/><br/>Since the referendum and in the light of the restrictions imposed to deal with the pandemic, and the use of guidelines presented as rules to do so, attention has refocused on the relationship and respective powers and competences of the three branches of the state, the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. They have also placed strains on our unwritten constitution that have been unknown in modern times.<br/><br/>The role of the courts and of the rule of law, has been dramatically illustrated by recent litigation, most notably the decisions on whether legislation was needed to serve notice of the UK''s intention to leave the EU and whether the prorogation of the Westminster Parliament in 2019 was a matter for the courts as opposed to a political question for government.<br/><br/>Set against this backdrop, the book answers the following questions:<br/>- How accessible is the law and how does it avoid arbitrariness?<br/>- How is access to justice protected?<br/>- How does our constitution reflect the separation of powers and the balance of responsibilities between law and politics?<br/>- How does our democracy enable majorities and protect minorities?

Key Ideas In Contract Law

by Nicholas Mcbride

~~17,87€~~ 14,30€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 This book introduces the reader to a number of ideas and issues that underlie the English law of contract-an area of law that is often regarded as forbiddingly dry and technical but which is here made easy to understand and full of interest.<br/>Taking as its starting point the role contract law plays in helping markets to operate, the book explains how contract law regulates the commercial risks people take, while at the same time placing limits on what may be bought and sold, and ensuring that contractual powers are not unacceptably abused. A final chapter discusses how contract law can be used to make gifts of binding promises to other people. The book provides a rigorous and stimulating journey through the ideas underpinning contract law and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the subject.<br/><br/><br/>''Clearly written and bursting with interesting and novel ideas, this lively book will be a great resource for anyone interested in Contract Law.''<br/><br/>Paul S Davies, Professor of Commercial Law, University College London
