Tracing almost 200 years of history, Explaining Tort and Crime
explains the development of tort law and criminal law in England
compared with other legal systems. Referencing legal systems from
around the globe, it uses innovative comparative and historical
methods to identify patterns of legal development, to investigate
the English law of fault doctrine across tort and crime, and to
chart and explain three procedural interfaces: criminal powers to
compensate, timing rules to control parallel actions, and
convictions as evidence in later civil cases. Matthew Dyson draws
on decades of research to offer an analysis of the field, examining
patterns of legal development, visible as motifs in the law of many
legal systems.

from national and international perspectives. The chapters of the

The fields of tort and crime have much in common in practice,
particularly in how they both try to respond to wrongs and regulate
future behaviour. Despite this commonality in fact, fascinating
difficulties have hitherto not been resolved about how legal
systems co-ordinate (or leave wild) the border between tort and
crime. What is the purpose of tort law and criminal law, and how do
you tell the difference between them? Do criminal lawyers and civil
lawyers reason and argue in the same way? Are the rules on
capacity, consent, fault, causation, secondary liability or
defences the same in tort as in crime? How do the rules of
procedure operate for each area? Are there points of overlap? When,
how and why do tort and crime interact? This volume systematically
answers these and other questions for eight legal systems: England,
France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Scotland, the Netherlands and
Australia.
Tort law and criminal law are closely bound together but their
relationship rarely receives sustained and rigorous scrutiny. This
is the first significant project in England and Wales to address
that shortcoming. Building on growing interest amongst both
academics and practitioners in the relationship between tort and
crime, it draws together leading experts to chart the field and
explore key points of interest. It uses a range of perspectives
from legal theory, doctrine, legal history and comparative law to
address some of the most important and interesting links between
tort and crime. Examples include how the illegality defence
operates to avoid stultification of the law, the difference between
criminal and civil causation, how the Motor Insurers' Bureau not
only insures but acts to enforce laws and alter behaviour, and why
civil law only very rarely restores specific property but the
criminal law does it daily.
This book brings together past and present law commissioners,
judges, practitioners, academics and law reformers to analyse the
past, present and future of the Law Commissions in the United
Kingdom and beyond. Its internationally recognised authors bring a
wealth of experience and insight into how and why law reform does
and should take place, covering statutory and non-statutory reform
from national and international perspectives. The chapters of the
book developed from papers given at a conference to mark the
fiftieth anniversary of the Law Commissions Act 1965.
This collection of papers from the Twentieth British Legal History
Conference explores the relationship between substantive law and
the way in which it actually worked. Instead of looking at what the
courts said they were doing, it is concerned more with the reality
of what was happening. To that end, the authors use a wide range of
sources, from court records to merchants' diaries and lawyers'
letters. The way in which the sources are used reflects the
possibilities of legal historical research which are opening up in
the twenty-first century, as large databases and digitised images -
and even online auction sites - make it a practical possibility to
do work at a level which was almost unthinkable only a short time
ago.
