Dear
Colleagues:
Congratulations
go out to ODGers William Day and Julius Grower on the publication by OUP of
their edited collection Borderlines in Private Law (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/borderlines-in-private-law-9780198888710?subjectcode2=1803551%7CLAW00400&lang=en&cc=af).
From the
blurb:
Mapmaking
analogies are a longstanding hallmark of private law scholarship, but the
boundaries between subject areas are not always neat and tidy. Can lines be
drawn between property and obligations, or common law and equity? Should tort
and unjust enrichment be subordinate to the law of contract? Should equity
enforce agreements that contract does not? Are equitable wrongs meaningfully
different from torts? Where do these borders sit, and what does one do with
areas that intersect?
In this
collection of essays, several of the UK's leading academic lawyers discuss
these borderlines and intersections. Covering five broad topics contract, tort,
unjust enrichment, property, and equity the contributors take varied
approaches. Some argue for distinct categories and the careful maintenance of
borders, while others celebrate cross-border exchanges, or say that any
attempt to draw and maintain borders is a futile endeavour.
