Subject: ODG: New Directions in Private Law Theory
Dear
Colleagues:
Congratulations
go out to ODGers Fabiana Bettini, Martin Fischer, Charles Mitchell and Prince
Saprai on the publication of their new edited collection: New
Directions in Private Law Theory (2023) with UCL press: www.uclpress.co.uk/PrivateLawTheory
. Luckily a copy of the book can be downloaded for free by following the link!
Here is the description:
New Directions in Private Law Theory brings
together some of the best new work on private law theory, reflecting the
breadth of this increasingly important field. The volume showcases the work of
a diverse and inclusive group of early career scholars working in the field of
private law theory with the contributions interrogating a wide range of topics
including aspects of private law doctrine, its development, ordering and
application.
The variety of different approaches adopted by
the authors contribute to ongoing and important debates about the moral
foundations of private law, the individuation of areas of private law and the
connections between private law and everyday moral experience. Questions
addressed include: Does the diversity identified amongst claims in unjust
enrichment mean that the category is incoherent? Are claims in tort law always
about compensating for wrongs? How should we understand parties agreement in
contract? The essays shed new light on these and other topics and the ways in
which they intersect and open up new lines of scholarly enquiry.
The contributors to the volume presented drafts
of the chapters at an online conference hosted by UCL Laws on Thursday 11 and
Friday 12 November 2021, and which received generous financial support from the
Society of Legal Scholars forming part of its Annual Seminar series.
Happy
Reading,
