The breadth of coverage that this book offers is unmatched by its
competitors - it really is comprehensive, providing much more depth
of analysis than others on the commercial context of trusts, for
example. Hudson is not afraid to tackle topics which are complex
and challenging for students and which are therefore sometimes
glossed over by other books, or couched in impenetrable academic
language. Hudson's extensive use of illustrative examples
throughout the text affords the book clarity of explanation and
helps to bring complex and challenging topics to life. Hudson draws
out areas of contemporary interest and controversy and takes time
to explain academic debates really clearly for students. The book
masters the balance between consideration of trusts in the domestic
environment and in the commercial arena to offer students a
comprehensive and balanced overall view of the subject.

The essays in this collection consider the fundamental concepts of
property and obligations in law. Ideas of property and of
obligations are central, organising concepts within law but are
nevertheless liable to fragmentation and esoteric development when
applied in particular contexts.
The essays in this collection consider the fundamental concepts of
property and obligations in law. Ideas of property and of
obligations are central, organising concepts within law but are
nevertheless liable to fragmentation and esoteric development when
applied in particular contexts. The contributors examine this
phenomenon in three ways. First, in the interaction of land law,
housing law and family law to the acquisition of rights in the
home. Secondly, by considering how human rights norms will impact
on the development of property and obligations law in the future.
Thirdly, by reconsidering the historical development of many of
these notions in English law. What emerges is an understanding that
when the concepts of property and obligations are uprooted from
their conceptual soil, they take on very different characteristics.

Alastair Hudson's The Law of Finance brings together, for the first
time, in a single volume, the whole of international finance, as
understood in English law. The volume is divided into two halves
with section one considering the principles of the law of finance
and section two considering the full range of modern financial
techniques in their legal context. By explaining key concepts and
practical issues, examining core principles and analysing the key
areas of financial practice and the effects of the global meltdown,
Professor Hudson provides an unparalleled work of breadth of scope
and wealth of detail.
This work analyzes the weaknesses in the established political
approaches to reform of the provision of justice, judging them as
being either too overtly concerned with inappropriate free market
structures, or too wedded to legal procedural rules. It argues that
the most efficient solution is an adapted version of legal aid as a
kind of welfare state benefit and more integrated public services
aimed at providing justice for the citizen. The discussion traces
the history of the Labour Party's legal affairs policy and examines
some of the fault lines in the programme put forward by Lord
Irvine, in particular, the tension between combatting social
exclusion with a rights-based rhetoric and a policy based on crude
cost management initiatives. The analysis applies emerging
political concepts of globalization, hegemony and a closed legal
system to this debate, while considering the conflicting principles
of community, individual autonomy and public service
accountability, to conceive both of the nature of the Blair project
and the feasibility of creating the "just society" set out in
Labour's new constitution. A model for an integrated justice is
proposed, centred on a Ministry of Justice administering legal aid
through a community legal service, activating technological and
structural reforms through a law foundation, and providing advice
to citizens through a national advisory service.
