Debt and Austerity - Implications of the Financial Crisis (Hardcover): Jodi Gardner, Mia Gray, Katharina Moser Debt and Austerity - Implications of the Financial Crisis (Hardcover)
Jodi Gardner, Mia Gray, Katharina Moser
R3,726 Discovery Miles 37 260 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book explores the complex interactions between debt and austerity, analysing the social, economic, and legal implications of governments’ responses to the 2008 financial crisis.   Demonstrating how the nature of debt for those on low incomes has changed radically over the last decade, the chapters provide insight into how structural inequality was exacerbated by changes in the redistributive state, the legal system, and the welfare system. The examination occurs on a number of levels and these issues are explored through the lens of power, place, and class. The authors utilize both international case studies and 'on the ground' experiences, reviewing the role of high cost credit, bailiffs, local governments, bankruptcy, and debt advice. Through the analysis of the nature and structure of debt in specific countries, it highlights important lessons for a global audience.   This unique book offers a broad, multi-faceted insight into the issue of low-income debt which will greatly benefit academics in law, social policy, geography, and economics. Its focus on practical steps and potential reforms, as well as contributions from third sector organizations, will also interest practitioners, policymakers, and NGOs.

Politics and Policy in Contract, Commercial and Company Law: Jodi Gardner, Amy Goymour, Janet O'Sullivan, Sarah Worthington Politics and Policy in Contract, Commercial and Company Law
Jodi Gardner, Amy Goymour, Janet O'Sullivan, Sarah Worthington
R3,205 Discovery Miles 32 050 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This ambitious and expert study explores the role of policy in shaping private law, focusing on equity, tort law and property law. This collection, the second of a two-part study, looks at private law through the policy prism. The majority of existing literature diminishes the impact of policy in the development of legal principles, impeding a deeper understanding of it. This second volume explores contract, commercial and corporate law. Both studies engage with modern challenges and technical developments that now inform private law, with chapters in this volume looking at corporate law and not-for-profit and unconscionable bargains to modern day transactions. They also explore traditional private law areas through a novel lens, such as the gig economy. They highlight the similarities and differences across the different aspects of private law, allowing for a richer analysis across all the strands of private law. This is a landmark and ambitious project undertaken by a team of acknowledged experts in their fields.

Landmark Cases in Consumer Law (Hardcover): Jodi Gardner, Iain Ramsay Landmark Cases in Consumer Law (Hardcover)
Jodi Gardner, Iain Ramsay
R4,267 Discovery Miles 42 670 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book analyses the history of the common law foundations of consumer law, and encourages readers to rethink the role that consumer law plays in our society. Consumer law is often constructed as purely statute-based law. However—as this collection will demonstrate—this is far from the truth. Much of the history of the common law concerns consumer transactions and markets. Case law has often established or modified the ground rules of consumer markets, had a patterning effect on the economic organisation of markets, and expressed cultural visions of the market and consumers. An analysis of landmark cases of consumer law allows many traditional cases to be viewed through a new and distinct lens, providing significant academic and intellectual value. The collection also includes a unique socio-legal perspective, considering the role that consumer law has played in addressing racial discrimination, LGBTQ challenges and the rights of women. This collection of landmark cases demonstrates the theoretical and practical significance of consumer law through a wide range of contributions by distinguished authors from the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States and Australia.

The Future of High-Cost Credit - Rethinking Payday Lending: Jodi Gardner The Future of High-Cost Credit - Rethinking Payday Lending
Jodi Gardner
R1,786 Discovery Miles 17 860 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book proposes a new way of thinking about the controversial and complex challenges associated with the regulation of high-cost credit, specifically payday lending. These products have received significant attention in both the media and political arena. The inadequacy of regulatory interventions has created ongoing problems with the provision of high-cost credit, particularly for consumers with lesser bargaining power and who are already financially vulnerable. The book tackles two specific gaps in the existing literature. The first involves inadequate analysis of the relevant philosophical concepts around high-cost credit, which can result in an over-simplification of what are particularly complex issues. The second is a lack of engagement in both the market and lived experience of borrowers, resulting in limited understanding of those who use these financial products. The Future of High-Cost Credit explores the theoretical grounding, policy initiatives and interdisciplinary perspectives associated with high-cost credit, making a novel and insightful contribution to the existing literature. The problems with debt extend far beyond the legal sphere, and the book will therefore be of interest to many other academic disciplines, as well as for those working in public policy and ‘the third sector’.

This is a landmark and ambitious research project looking at private law through the policy prism undertaken by a team of acknowledged experts in their fields. The majority of existing literature diminishes the impact of policy in the development of legal principles, impeding a deeper understanding of it. Part of a two-part study, this first volume explores tort law, property law and equity. Both studies engage with modern challenges and technical developments that now inform private law, with chapters looking at the Grenfell disaster, compensation of medical injuries post COVID-19, the gig economy and co-ownership. They also explore traditional private law areas through a novel lens, such as psychological injury and the impact of fairness and/or equality obligations. They highlight the similarities and differences across many aspects of private law, allowing for a richer analysis across all the strands of private law.
