Dear Colleagues:

 

Congratulations go out to all the ODGers, both editors and contributors, involved in the two books outlined below:

 

 

Cause and Consideration

Exploring the Foundations of Contract Law

Edited by Bruno Rodríguez-Rosado, Rocío Caro Gándara and Antonio Legerén-Molina

 

This book provides a comprehensive study of two parallel notions of civil and common law: cause and consideration.

 

It does this in three ways; with historical, comparative, and functional perspectives. Aspects of cause and consideration are hotly contested by contract lawyers and this book will bring clarity by looking at the English and Continental positions. Key areas of focus include: enforceability, questions of legality and morality, contractual justice, and the correction of unjustified property displacements.

 

Bringing together a team of experts, the book discusses (in some cases for the first time in English) complex questions of both academic and practical importance.

 

Bruno Rodríguez-Rosado is Professor of Law at the University of Málaga, Spain.

Rocío Caro Gándara is Professor of Law at the University of Málaga, Spain.

Antonio Legerén-Molina is Professor of Law at the University of A Coruña, Spain.

Politics, Policy and Private Law

Volume II: Contract, Commercial and Company Law

Edited by Jodi Gardner, Amy Goymour, Janet O'Sullivan and Sarah Worthington

 

This collection is the second volume of a two-part study exploring the role of policy and politics in shaping private law. This volume focuses on contract, commercial and company law. Its chapters explore the challenging interface of policy and politics in areas including: contract interpretation; contractual discretions; consumer contracts; wrongful payments by banks; transnational commercial private law instruments, mistakes made by corporations; and the right to repair.

 

This is a landmark and ambitious project which provides a rich exploration of policy-infused areas of private law, undertaken by a team of experts in their fields.
