Landmark Cases in Equity continues the series of essay collections
which began with Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution (2006)
and continued with Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract (2008) and
Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort (2010). It contains essays on
landmark cases in the development of equitable doctrine running
from the seventeenth century to recent times. The range, breadth
and social importance of equitable principles, as these affect
commercial, domestic and even political matters are well known. By
focusing on the historical development of these principles, the
essays in this collection help us to understand them more clearly,
and also provide insights into the processes of legal change
through judicial innovation. Themes addressed in the essays include
the nature of the courts' equitable jurisdiction, the development
of property rights in equity, constraints on the powers of settlors
to create express trusts, the duties of trustees and other
fiduciaries, remedies for breach of these duties, and the evolution
of constructive and resulting trusts.

It is now well established that the law of unjust enrichment forms
an important and distinctive part of the English law of
obligations. Restitutionary awards for unjust enrichment and for
wrongdoing are clearly recognised for what they are. But these are
recent developments. Before the last decade of the twentieth
century the very existence of a separate law of unjust enrichment
was controversial, its scope and content matters of dispute. In
this collection of essays, a group of leading scholars look back
and reappraise some of the landmark cases in the law of
restitution. They range from the early seventeenth century to the
mid-twentieth century, and shed new light on some classic
decisions. Some argue that the importance of their case has been
overstated; others, that it has been overlooked, or misconceived.
All persuasively invite the reader to think again about some
well-known authorities. The book is an essential resource for
anyone, scholar, student or practitioner, with an interest in this
fascinating area of the law.
Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract offers twelve original essays
by leading contract scholars. As with the essays in the companion
volume, Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution (Hart, 2006) each
essay takes as its focus a particular leading case, and analyses
that case in its historical or theoretical context. The cases range
from the early eighteenth - to the late twentieth - centuries, and
deal with an array of contractual doctrines. Some of the essays
call for their case to be stripped of its landmark status, whilst
others argue that it has more to offer than we have previously
appreciated. The particular historical context of these landmark
cases, as revealed by the authors, often shows that our current
assumptions about the case and what it stands for are either
mistaken, or require radical modification. The book also explores
several common themes which are fundamental to the development of
the law of contract: for instance, the influence of commercial
expectations, appeals to 'reason' and the significance of
particular judicial ideologies and techniques.This book contains a
collection of new and original articles on the famous contract
cases. It includes contributions from well-established scholars
analysing both current and historical aspects of contract law. The
analysis of the cases will be of interest to barristers, academics
and judges.

Many of the defining features of the modern law of tort can be
traced to the first half of the twentieth century, but, until now,
developments in that period have never received a dedicated
historical examination. This book examines both common law and
statutory innovations, paying special attention to underlying
assumptions about the operation of society, the function of tort
law, and the roles of those involved in legal changes. It recovers
the legal and social contexts in which some landmark decisions were
given (and which puts those decisions in a very different light)
and draws attention to significant and suggestive cases that have
fallen into neglect. It also explores the theoretical debates of
the period about the nature of tort law, and reveals the
fascinating patterns of influence and power at work behind
statutory initiatives to reform the law.
The modern law of defamation is frequently criticised for being
outdated,obscure and even incomprehensible. The Making of the
Modern Law of Defamation explains how and why the law has come to
be as it is by offering an historical analysis of its development
from the seventeenth century to the present day. Whilst the primary
focus of the book is the law of England, it also makes extensive
use of comparative common law materials from jurisdictions such as
Australia, South Africa, the United States and Scotland. This book
will be essential reading for anyone interested in the law of
defamation, in media law and in the relationship between free
speech and the law.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Bio-Inspired
Models of Network, Information, and Computing Systems (Bionetics).
The event took place in the city of York, UK, in December 2011.
Bionetics main objective is to bring bio-inspired paradigms into
computer engineering and networking, and to enhance the fruitful
interactions between these fields and biology. The papers of the
conference were accepted in 2 categories: full papers and work-in
progress. Full papers describe significant advances in the
Bionetics field, while work-in-progress papers present an
opportunity to discuss breaking research which is currently being
evaluated. The topics are ranging from robotic coordination to
attack detection in peer-to-peer networks, biological mechanisms
including evolution, flocking and artificial immune systems, and
nano-scale communication and networking.
Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort contains thirteen original essays
on leading tort cases, ranging from the early nineteenth century to
the present day. It is the third volume in a series of collected
essays on landmark cases (the previous two volumes having dealt
with restitution and contract). The cases examined raise a broad
range of important issues across the law of tort, including such
diverse areas as acts of state and public nuisance, as well as
central questions relating to the tort of negligence. Several of
the essays place cases in their historical context in ways that
change our understanding of the case's significance. Sometimes the
focus is on drawing out previously neglected aspects of cases which
have been - undeservedly - assigned minor importance. Other essays
explore the judicial methodologies and techniques that worked to
shape leading principles of tort law. So much of tort law turns on
cases, and there are so many cases, that all but the most recent
decisions have a tendency to become reduced to terse propositions
of law, so as to keep the subject manageable. This collection shows
how important it is, despite the constant temptation to
compression, not to lose sight of the contexts and nuances which
qualify and illuminate so many leading authorities.
How Ireland Voted 2002 provides an in depth analysis of the Irish
general election. Continuing an established series of election
studies, it sets out the context of the campaign, assesses the
impact of the political parties' marketing strategies, and presents
first hand candidate campaign diaries. It analyzes voting patterns
employing both aggregate data and survey evidence, discusses the
post election negotiations leading to the formation of the new
government, and considers the implications for the future of the
Irish party system.
Secondary Fracture Prevention: An International Perspective
presents practitioners and academic clinicians with a better
understanding of secondary fracture prevention and models of care
from a variety of settings and countries. This must-have guide
provides practitioners and academic clinicians with essential
information about this broad clinical and research topic that
extends across the globe. Preventing secondary fractures starts
with assessing what works and what does not work, reviewing major
society guidelines, and what workup and management is necessary.
This book reviews these topics and provides the rationale for
pursuing a workup to prevent fractures in this patient population.
Legal professions and legal institutions have a profound influence
on the direction and form of legal change, but it is often
difficult to identify exactly how and why such influence has been
exerted. Even those individuals directly involved in bringing about
changes may not realise the full impact of professional and
institutional factors, since these factors often form part of the
participants' own assumed roles. This collection of essays casts
light on how one particularly important legal category, fault
liability, has been shaped by legal professions and institutions
between 1850 and 2000. Its unique comparative approach highlights
how different legal systems generate very different pressures for
change, and how actors' perceptions of their own roles can have a
profound effect on how changes take effect.

Law and Society in England 1750-1950 is an indispensable text for
those wishing to study English legal history and to understand the
foundations of the modern British state. In this new updated
edition the authors explore the complex relationship between legal
and social change. They consider the ways in which those in power
themselves imagined and initiated reform and the ways in which they
were obliged to respond to demands for change from outside the
legal and political classes. What emerges is a lively and critical
account of the evolution of modern rights and expectations, and an
engaging study of the formation of contemporary social,
administrative and legal institutions and ideas, and the road that
was travelled to create them. The book is divided into eight
chapters: Institutions and Ideas; Land; Commerce and Industry;
Labour Relations; The Family; Poverty and Education; Accidents; and
Crime. This extensively referenced analysis of modern social and
legal history will be invaluable to students and teachers of
English law, political science, and social history.
Special Features of This Translation Multiple possible translations
of the Greek text are presented: 1 Cor. 13:7, Love] continuously
covers all mankind; it is habitually loyal to all humanity; it
constantly has an expectation for all mankind; it is continuously
remaining under and giving support to all people. (or, since "all"
can also be neuter: It progressively puts a protecting roof over
all things; it is habitually trusting in, and believing for, all
things; it is continually hoping in or for all things; it keeps on
patiently enduring all things.) Contrasting readings from other New
Testament manuscripts are presented: John 3:13, "Furthermore, no
one has ascended (or: stepped up) into the heaven (or: atmosphere)
except the One descending (or: stepping down) from out of the midst
of the atmosphere (or: heaven): the Son of Mankind (the Son of the
human; Humanity's Son; the Son of man) - the One continuously being
(or: constantly existing) within the midst of the heaven (or:
atmosphere). with p66 & 75, Aleph, B and others: And yet not
even one person climbed up into heaven (or: the sky), if not that
one at one point descending from out of the midst of heaven (or:
the sky) - the Human Being.] Expanded renderings of the Greek verb
tenses are presented: Rev. 22:20, The One continuously testifying
these things is saying, "Yes, I am continuously (or: habitually;
repeatedly; or: presently) coming quickly (swiftly; promptly) "
Amen (So be it; It is so; Count on it). Be continuously (or:
repeatedly) coming, Lord Jesus Optional functions of noun and
adjective cases (which determine which English preposition to use),
and which the context allows, are presented: Rom. 8:24, For in the
expectation and with hope we are suddenly made whole and healthy
(or: You see, by the expectation we are delivered and saved; For,
to expectation we were at one point rescued; To be sure, we were
kept safe for the expectation) Now expectation (or: hope) being
continuously seen (or: observed) is not expectation (or: hope), for
who continues hoping in expectation for what he also constantly
sees (or: observes)? From the Introduction: This is a work that
seeks to give the reader some involvement in the process of
translating by presenting a range of semantic meanings of
significant Greek words in the midst of the text. Expansions and
amplifications are placed in parentheses. Other optional renderings
of either phrases or sentences are made parenthetical and come
after the word "or," followed by a colon. 1 Corinthians 7:19
provides an example: The circumcision is nothing, and the
uncircumcision is nothing - but to the contrary what matters is
the] observing and keeping of the goals implanted from God (or: of
the impartation of the finished product within, which is God; or:
God's inward directives to His] end). Jonathan Mitchell has an MA
in Anthropology He began study of New Testament Greek in 1962

Electoral systems matter. They are a crucial link in the chain
connecting the preferences of citizens to the policy choices made
by governments. They are chosen by political actors and, once in
existence, have political consequences for those actors. They are
an important object of study for anyone interested in the political
process, and in this book we subject them to systematic analysis.
In addition to some comparative chapters, the book contains full
accounts of the operation of electoral systems in 22 countries:
France, the UK, Germany, Italy, Israel, Spain, Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, The Netherlands, Ireland, Hungary, Russia,
Australia, Canada, India, the USA, Japan, New Zealand, Chile, and
South Africa. The book provides detailed analyses of the operation
of a diverse set of electoral systems in their national context.
Each chapter explains how the electoral system really works in the
given country, examining the strategic incentives the system
provides to voters, candidates, and parties. All country chapters
have a common format and structure. Successive sections analyse:
the institutional context; how each electoral system was chosen
historically; how the current electoral system operates (the rules,
mechanics, and ballot structure); and the political consequences of
the current system (the impact on the party system, the internal
life of parties, and the impact on parliament and government
formation). Each country chapter then contains a final section
which focuses on the politicization of electoral institutions. In
recent years many countries have changed their electoral systems,
either entirely or in part so there is a strong focus on the
processes of electoral reform, both historically and prospectively.
The book concentrates on the real world 'politics', as well as the
'political science' of electoral systems. The book will be of
interest to those concerned with the practical political business
of electoral reform. The book contains a wealth of evidence about
the performance of various kinds of proportional representation and
of non-PR systems. This will be invaluable for anyone interested in
the question: 'What would be the best electoral system for my
country?'
