Does private law punish? This collection answers this complex but compelling question. Lawyers from across the spectrum of the law (contract, tort, restitution) explore exactly how it punishes
wrong doing. These leading voices ask whether that punishment is effective and what its societal role might be. Taking the discussion out of the technical and into a broader realms of a wider purpose, it is both compelling and thought-provoking.

Technological, Business and Legal Perspectives
Edited by Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci, Mark Fenwick and Stefan Wrbka
This book brings together a series of contributions by leading scholars and practitioners to examine the main features of smart contracts, as well as the response of key stakeholders in technology,
business, government and the law.
It explores how this new technology interfaces with the goals and content of contract law, introducing and evaluating several mechanisms to improve the ‘observability’ and reduce the costs of
verifying contractual obligations and performance. It also outlines various ‘design patterns’ that ensure that end users are protected from themselves, prevent cognitive accidents, and translate expectations and values into more user-oriented agreements.
Furthermore, the chapters map the new risks associated with smart contracts, particularly for consumers, and consider how they might be alleviated. The book also discusses the challenge of integrating
data protection and privacy concerns into the design of these agreements and the broad range of legal knowledge and skills required.
The case for using smart contracts goes beyond ‘contracts’ narrowly defined, and they are increasingly used to disrupt traditional models of business organisation. The book discusses so-called
decentralised autonomous organisations and decentralised finance as illustrations of this trend.
This book is designed for those interested in looking to deepen their understanding of this game-changing new legal technology.

New
Directions in European Private Law
Edited by Takis Tridimas and Mateja Durovic
This book brings together leading scholars and practitioners, to explore contemporary challenges in the field of European private law, identify problems,
and propose solutions. The first section reassesses the existing theoretical framework and traditional legal scholarship on which European private law has developed. The book then goes on to examine important and practical topics of geo-blocking and standardisation
in the context of recent legislative developments and the CJEU case law. The third section assesses the challenging subject of adequate regulation of online platforms and sharing economy that has been continuously addressed in the recent years by European
private law. A fourth section deals with the regulatory challenges brought by an increasing development of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology and the question of liability. The final section examines recent European legislative developments
in the area of digital goods and digital content and identifies potential future policy directions in which the European private law may develop in the future.
