Dear Colleagues:

 

Congratulations to KV Krishnaprasad and Baris Soyer and Özlem Gürses on their recent publications with Hart. Details are below:

 

 

Unjust Enrichment and Countervailing Obligations

KV Krishnaprasad

 

This book explores the relationship between the English law of unjust enrichment and legal obligations arising from other branches of the law.

 

It examines the question, primarily, by considering how English courts resolve conflicts between restitution claims and countervailing legal entitlements. This is much needed given recent cases such as IEG v Zurich Insurance and Avonwick Holdings Ltd v Azitio Holdings Ltd clearly showing the differing positions taken by English courts on the question.

 

By applying insights from the theory of unjust enrichment to Anglo-Australian case law, this study gives a welcome cogent explanation of a complex question.

 

KV Krishnaprasad is a barrister at One Essex Court, UK.

Insurability of Emerging Risks

Law, Theory and Practice

Edited by Baris Soyer and Özlem Gürses

 

This book brings together leading experts in the fields of insurance and the law of obligations to consider how insurance law is attempting to deal with emerging risks and how the law should be developed by courts and lawmakers to deal with the emerging legal issues.

 

The book questions the suitability of the current insurance business models in insuring climate related risks, autonomous systems, insurance of fines and penalties and how mass or systemic risks can be made insurable. It also discusses how a balance can be struck between the need to regulate and the needs of market participants.

 

Baris Soyer is Professor of Commercial and Maritime Law and Director of the Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law at Swansea University, UK.

Özlem Gürses is Professor of Law at King's College London, UK.
