Law and Administration in Europe
The contributions to this volume address central issues in public law. There are chapters dealing with the general theoretical foundations of public law, including the relationship of theory and values, and discussion of the central idea of representation. The nature of the public-private divide continues to be of importance as a result of changes in the nature of government, and as a consequence of the passage of the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA). Closely related to this is the contractualisation of government. The relationship between the courts, Parliament, and the executive has always been a central concern for public lawyers. It has been brought to the fore by the passage of the HRA, lead...
Taking Law Seriously
"This book celebrates the scholarship of Peter Cane, who is one of the world's leading legal scholars of the present age. The significance and scale of his contributions to learning regarding the law over the last half-century cannot be overstated. The very high standing of his work is reflected both in the extent to which other academics have engaged with it, and the regard in which it is held by the senior judiciary in several countries. In an era of increasing specialisation among lawyers, Cane stands out on account of the unusually broad scope of his interests, which extend to both private and public law in equal measure. This substantive breadth is combined with remarkable doctrinal, hi...
Justifying Strict Liability
The imposition of strict liability in tort law is controversial, and its theoretical foundations are the object of vigorous debate. Why do or should we impose strict liability on employers for the torts committed by their employees, or on a person for the harm caused by their children, animals, activities, or things? In responding to this type of questions, legal actors rely on a wide variety of justifications. Justifying Strict Liability explores, in a comparative perspective, the most significant arguments that are put forward to justify the imposition of strict liability in four legal systems, two common law, England and the United States, and two civil law, France and Italy. These justif...
Patents and Global Administrative Law
The book applies values and concepts from Global Administrative Law (GAL) to international patent law, demonstrating how limiting technocratic and overly economic language can be. Highlighting the administrative foundations of patent law, the book argues that, in its international form, it can be analysed using the same principles of participation, transparency, and accountability found in national administrative law. At the heart of the book is a simple question: What does international patent law look like when we approach it through the lens of these values? What is being left out when patent law is described predominantly in terms of its technical legal provisions or economic impact? The...
Standing in Private Law
This book develops the idea that standing is a distinct and separable private law concept that can and should be distinguished more clearly from the more dominant concept of a 'right.' By recognising standing's distinctiveness, debates within private law theory, including torts, unjust enrichment and trusts, are informed and contributed to.

Stoccos, The
After a run-in with police in 2007, father and son Gino and Mark Stocco went completely off the grid, travelling all around the country working as farmhands. For years they were carrying out moonlight raids to steal goods, going on vandalism sprees, and living for long stretches without phones, licences, bank accounts or friends. Eluding arrest time after time in their eight years on the run, the Stoccos were two of Australia's most wanted men. After dramatically ramming a police car in broad daylight in October 2015, they became the focus of the nation, triggering one of the biggest manhunt's the country's ever seen. When they were finally arrested two weeks later, they were charged with thirty-four crimes between them - including the murder of 68-year-old Rosario Cimone. The Stoccos- Like Father, Like Sonfollows their long and bizarre journey throughout the Australian bush, and also looks at what caused them to embark on it in the first place and how they managed to remain undetected for so long. Gripping, intriguing and insightful, this is a forensic account of this strange and chilling story.
