The development of the law of obligations across the common law
world has been, and continues to be, a story of unity and
divergence. Its common origins continue to exert a powerful
stabilising influence, carried forward by a methodology that places
heavy weight on the historical foundations of legal principles.
Divergence is, however, produced by numerous factors, including
national and international human rights instruments, local
statutory regimes, civil law influences, regional harmonisation,
local circumstances and values and different political and legal
cultures. The essays in this collection explore the forces that
produce divergence, the countervailing forces that generate
cohesion and consistency in the common law of obligations, and the
influence that the major common law jurisdictions continue to exert
over one another in this area of law. The chapters in this book
were originally presented at the Seventh Biennial Conference on the
Law of Obligations held in Hong Kong in July 2014. A second
collection, entitled Divergences in Private Law (ISBN:
9781782256601), will focus on particular departures from the common
law mainstream and the causes and effects of those deviations.
