Attachments: Goudkamp and Katsampouka_flyer.pdf
Dear Colleagues,
Congratulations go out to ODGers James Goudkamp and Eleni Katsampouka have just published the collection of essays Landmark Cases in the Law of Punitive Damages (Hart Publishing, 2023): https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/landmark-cases-in-the-law-of-punitive-damages-9781509967001/
A flyer from Hart, which contains a discount code, is
attached to this email.
The blurb to the book
reads:
This book traces the development of the jurisdiction
from the foundational decisions of Huckle v Money and Wilkes v Wood in
England, to leading modern cases such as Harris v Digital Pulse Pty Ltd in
Australia, Whiten v Pilot Insurance Co in Canada, Couch v AG (No 2) in
New Zealand, PH Hydraulics and Engineering Pte Ltd v Airtrust (Hong Kong)
Ltd in Singapore and Mathias v Accor Economy Lodging, Inc and State
Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co v Campbell in the United States. Many
of the decisions addressed are not only landmarks regarding punitive damages
but are among the most important judgments delivered in private law more
generally. The essays, which are written by leading scholars from a wide range
of jurisdictions, cast new light on the cases covered. They do so by examining
their historical antecedents and the impact that they have had on the
development of the law. The full spectrum of issues regarding punitive damages
is addressed including the insurability of punishment, constitutional
constraints on the remedy s availability and whether the award should be
confined to particular causes of action. The collection will be of interest to
all scholars and students of private law. It concentrates on common law cases
although civilian perspectives, drawn from France and Germany, are also
offered .
Happy Reading,
