Subject: ODG: Politics, Policy and Private Law: Volume I

 

Dear Colleagues:

 

Congratulations go out to Sarah Worthington, Janet O'Sullivan, Amy Goymour and Jodi Gardner on the publication of their edited collection Politics, Policy and Private Law: Volume I (https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/politics-policy-and-private-law-9781509960989/) with Hart.

 

From the description:

 

The majority of existing literature diminishes the impact of policy in the development of legal principles, impeding a deeper understanding of it. Part of a two-part study, this first volume explores tort law, property law and equity. Both studies engage with modern challenges and technical developments that now inform private law, with chapters looking at the Grenfell disaster, compensation of medical injuries post COVID-19, the gig economy and co-ownership. They also explore traditional private law areas through a novel lens, such as psychological injury and the impact of fairness and/or equality obligations. They highlight the similarities and differences across many aspects of private law, allowing for a richer analysis across all the strands of private law.

 

Happy Reading,
