Tax Expenditures and Environmental Policy (Hardcover): Hope Ashiabor Tax Expenditures and Environmental Policy (Hardcover)
Hope Ashiabor
R3,147 Discovery Miles 31 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This timely book provides a critical examination of the ways in which tax expenditures can be best used in order to enhance their efficacy as instruments for the implementation of environmental policy. Examining the capacity and limits of tax expenditures in financing environmental policy, Hope Ashiabor considers their use in various contexts and policies in order to clearly establish the common threads as well as any deviations that have emerged. The book outlines how, when used in environmental policy either to provide preferences to certain activities or to address the challenges of environmental degradation, the management of tax expenditures invariably results in unintended consequences that manifest in negative environmental outcomes and economic inefficiencies. It also examines some of the challenges encountered in re-structuring subsidies that have become environmentally harmful. Tax Expenditures and Environmental Policy will be of great interest to students and scholars in both tax and environmental law. It will also offer an essential tool for policy makers and practitioners through its focus on policy design and its doctrinal analysis.

Clinical Guidelines and the Law of Medical Negligence - Multidisciplinary and International Perspectives (Hardcover): Jo... Clinical Guidelines and the Law of Medical Negligence - Multidisciplinary and International Perspectives (Hardcover)
Jo Samanta, Ash Samanta
R3,955 Discovery Miles 39 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book critically considers the dynamic relationship between clinical guidelines and medical negligence litigation, arguing that a balance must be struck between blinkered reliance on guidelines and casual disregard. It explores connections between academic law and professional practice, bringing together an array of perspectives which reveal that although guidelines may not be dispositive, they nonetheless play an important role in medical negligence law. The chapters provide compelling insights from academics, lawyers, barristers, doctors and healthcare professionals into the use of guidelines in determining the legal standard for breach of duty, thereby contributing to a holistic understanding of guideline usage in this area of law. Sociological considerations along with empirical findings are used to underpin these concepts. While focusing on the UK, contributors draw upon international law including that from the United States, South Africa, the Netherlands and other countries. Based on this analysis the conclusion offers a theoretical framework for practical application illustrated by a case-based discourse. This book makes a significant contribution to the knowledge base in the subject area. It is an essential read for legal academics and lawyers working in medical and health law, as well as for doctors and other healthcare professionals. It will be a key reference point for medical regulators, health organisation policymakers and clinical governance teams.

Having shown algorithms and big data to be the two fundamental driving forces of the new information society, expert authors explore which policy options, institutional frameworks and values should be adopted by lawmakers and regulatory authorities in order to ensure a fair balance between private interests such as competition, innovation and the fundamental rights of individuals. Innovatively combining both public and private law perspectives, this unique book will provide a valuable resource for scholars and students of information and technology law, media law, privacy, regulatory and human rights law.
