Självmordet som väckte Sverige. Den 10 juni 2010 tar Lasse livet av sig. Efter en infekterad konflikt med sin närmsta chef och en arbetsgivare som hotar med avsked orkar han inte mer. Det blir slutet på ett liv, men början på en kamp för upprättelse. För barnen, för änkan. I Jag orkar inte mer berättar Elinor Torp hela historien om det så kallade Krokomfallet. Om självmordet och händelserna som ledde fram till det, men också om det rättsliga efterspelet. Det är en berättelse om psykisk ohälsa på jobbet och om ett samhälle som saknar verktyg att hjälpa den som blir sjuk. Tiotusentals svenskar långtidssjukskrivs varje år på grund av mobbning i arbetslivet. Upp till 300 begår självmord. Mångdubbelt fler än de som dör i olyckor på jobbet.

"Å alla miljöaktivisters vägnar, vill jag be om ursäkt för den skrämselpropaganda som vi har spridit om klimatet de senaste 30 åren. Klimatförändringarna är verkliga, men de leder inte till vår undergång. De är inte ens vårt mest angelägna miljöproblem."
Så inleddes en artikel som Michael Shellenberger publicerade år 2020. Artikeln sände chockvågor bland miljöengagerade världen runt som ansåg att "miljöhjälten" hade svikit.
I boken Inställd apokalyps utvecklar Michael Shellenberger argumenten för varför han anser att miljörörelsen de senaste decennierna har misstagit sig inte bara om klimatet, utan även om en rad andra frågor, som förnybara energikällor, jordens matförsörjning, kärnkraft och välståndsutveckling.
I sin bok visar författaren även att flera av de populära symbolfrågor som miljöaktivister har propagerat för inte är sakligt grundade: Greenpeace räddade inte valarna. Skogsbränderna har inte blivit fler. Amazonas är inte världens lungor. Isbjörnarna håller inte på att försvinna. "Ett gåtfullt inslag i miljörörelsens historia är varför så många föreslår politiska åtgärder som är skadliga inte bara för människor utan också för miljön. Shellenberger har tagit på sig uppgiften att bringa klarhet i frågan, och till det är han sällsynt väl lämpad. Hans skildring är övertygande och blandar på ett åskådligt sätt research och historik över den gröna rörelsen med reportage från människor i fattiga länder som plågas av konsekvenserna från miljökolonialismen." John Tierney i Wall Street Journal
Michael Shellenberger är journalist, författare och miljöaktivist. Tidigare har han utgivit bl.a. boken Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility (2007, tills. med Ted Nordhaus). Hösten 2021 utger han San Fransicko: Why the Left Ruins Cities. Hans artiklar har publicerats i tidningar som New York Times och Wall Street Journal. Michael Shellenberger är anlitad som expert av FN:s klimatpanel, IPCC, för den rapport som ska publiceras 2022. Han är rådgivare i miljö- och energifrågor till politiker i bl.a. Australien, Filippinerna, Japan och Nederländerna. Michael Shellenbergers TED-föreläsningar Varför jag ändrade uppfattning om kärnkraft och Varför förnybara energikällor inte kan rädda planeten har haft över sex miljoner tittare. År 2008 utsågs han av Time Magazine till Årets miljöhjälte .
Den apokalyptiska miljörörelsen
Miljövänner har inte haft politisk makt att i de rika länderna begränsa energiförbrukningen, men de har under 50 år haft makt att göra det i fattigare länder. Visserligen är inte miljövänner i den rika världen den grundläggande orsaken till fattigdomen på platser som Kongo, men de gör situationen besvärligare för de länder som redan har nackdelen att vara sist med att industrialiseras och utvecklas.
Vi som bor i utvecklade länder ska vara tacksamma för den civilisation som vi tar för given, skaffa oss perspektiv på klimatförändringarna och känna empati och solidaritet gentemot dem som ännu inte har fått njuta av välståndets frukter.
Den bild som den apokalyptiska miljö- rörelsen målar upp är oriktig och avhumaniserande. Människor förstör inte tanklöst naturen. Klimatförändringar, skogsavverkning, plastavfall och artutrotning är inte i grunden följder av girighet och hybris, utan snarare biverkningar av en ekonomisk utveckling som motiveras av en humanistisk strävan att förbättra människors tillvaro.
Att kräva att fattiga länder ska följa en dyrare och långsammare väg till välstånd än vi har gjort är dubbelmoral och oetiskt.

Några glimtar från mitt naturintresse. Vårt vårdträd Alma drabbades för några somrar sedan av almsjukan. Vi tvingades stympa Alma då grenar kan falla över vårt hus. Alma filosoferar och fabulerar över detta. Vad gör vi på gården för att förgylla vår tillvaro med de andra kala almarna? Vi njuter av hackspettar, spillkråkor och trädkrypare som klättrar på stammarna och söker larver och myror. Vi njuter av en förvildad trädgård med kardborrar, tistlar, rishögar och förmultnade trädstammar på marken, biologisk mångfald. Vi flyr från förelägganden från kommun och länsstyrelse om bortforsling av gödselstuka. Trasiga telefoner och logtak skadade efter blixtnedslag, döda almar och läkarbesök. Vi far på smala grusvägar, bort från motorbuller och hemska minnen när djurtransporten hämtade våra fina Gotlandstackor. Flyr till Tåkerns och Borens fågelrika stränder. Gunilla Kälvesten berättar i kåserier, haiku-dikter och dagboksblad om naturen och livet på gården, om fåglar, hundar, träd och annat som ryms i vardagen. Illustrerad med fina färgfoton av Jan Johansson.

Del 3 - Skadeståndsrättsliga utvecklingslinjer
Ersättningsproblem i skadeståndsrätten

Trilogin ”Skadeståndsrättsliga utvecklingslinjer” innehåller en mängd närläsningar av hur de olika frågorna inom skadeståndsrätten gestaltat sig i 2000-talets praxis. Genom tematiska inramningar och detaljanalyser ges en bild i rörelse av hur skadeståndsrätten idag fungerar, diskuteras och utvecklas. De enskilda rättsfallsanalyserna åskådliggör både skadeståndsrättens argumentativa förutsättningar och de materiella tillskott som fallen bidragit med. Trilogin gestaltar de skadeståndsrättsliga problemen kring ansvarsgrund (Bok I), ansvarsgräns (Bok II) och ersättningsbestämning (Bok III). Därmed blir varje bok en fristående monografisk behandling av respektive tema. Framställningen är uppbyggd så att de olika analyserna ska kunna läsas för sig och därmed vara av praktiskt värde för rättstillämpningen – samtidigt som både detaljerna och helheten ska ge ett rättsvetenskapligt mervärde. ”Ersättningsproblem” är den tredje boken i trilogin; den tar vid när en ansvarsgrund är etablerad samt en viss skada bedömts ligga inom ansvarets gräns – varvid det kvarvarande problemet rör de omständigheter och argument som måste värderas, för att man ska kunna fastställa skadeståndet. Framställningen betonar den rättsligt värderande ersättningsbestämningen, och tematiserar därmed utvecklingen avseende ett antal konkretiserande kvalificeringar för resonemangen. Dessa kvalificeringar avser begreppsliga, temporala, formella, ekonomiska och ideella aspekter med avseende på både sakskada, förmögenhetsskada, personskada och olika ideella ersättningsposter – inklusive gränsområdet mellan det ekonomiska och det ideella. Bortom de klassiska spörsmålen behandlas även skadeståndsfrågor inom områdena för upphandlingsrätt, immaterialrätt och marknadsrätt. De alltoftare aktualiserade ideella ersättningsfrågorna tas upp med avseende på personskada, kränkning vid brott, olika specialregleringar samt beträffande möjligheterna och gränserna för ersättning vid överträdelse av EKMR och RF; vidare uppmärksammas utförligt de specifika ersättningsrättsliga perspektiven på diskriminering.

A man slips on a dance floor and breaks his leg. He recovers damages. A child has both legs amputated as a result of meningitis and is awarded nothing. The law's justification for awarding damages in the first case is that the man's injury was the fault of someone else, while in the second case damages are denied because nobody was at fault. In this searching critique of the present law and practice relating to damages, Professor Patrick Atiyah shows that this system is in fact a lottery. He contends that the public are paying far too much for an unfair and inefficient insurance system and that reform is long overdue. His conclusion is that actions for damages for injuries should be abolished and replaced with a new no-fault road accident scheme, and actions for other injuries should be dealt with by individual or group insurance policies.

While the right to have one's day in court is a cherished feature of the American democratic system, alarms that the United States is hopelessly litigious and awash in frivolous claims have become ubiquitous. According to this view, litigation wastes precious resources, stifles innovation and productivity, and corrodes our social fabric and the national character. Calls for reform have sought, often successfully, to limit people's access to the court system. Alexandra Lahav's In Praise of Litigation provides a much needed corrective to this flawed perspective, reminding us of the irreplaceable role of litigation in a well-functioning democracy and debunking many of the myths that cloud our understanding of this role. Exploring cases involving freedom of speech, foodborne illness, defective cars, business competition, and more, the book shows that despite its inevitable limitations, litigation empowers citizens to challenge the most powerful public and private interests and hold them accountable for their actions. In Praise of Litigation shows how our court system protects our liberties and enables civil society to flourish, and serves as a powerful reminder of why we need to protect people's access to justice.
Taxing Multinationals
Preventing tax base erosion through the reform of cross-border intercompany deductions, ATTA Doctoral Series, vol. 7

One of the most significant trends in the evolution of global tax systems has been the rise from relative obscurity of thin capitalisation rules, which are perceived as anti-avoidance rules. Despite their prevalence, it is unclear whether thin capitalisation rules: (1) attain tax neutrality (specifically, do these rules mitigate the tax-induced cross-border debt bias); and, (2) are effective in both theory and practice. Taxing Multinationals approaches the issue of thin capitalisation from a novel perspective by conceptualising the cross-border debt bias as the 'disease' and thin capitalisation as merely the 'symptom'. The overarching question guiding this book is whether, given the opportunity to start over, the tax-induced cross-border debt bias would be better addressed by retaining thin capitalisation rules in their current form or whether an alternative reform would be more suited to dealing with this 'disease'. Taxing Multinationals: Preventing tax base erosion through the reform of cross-border intercompany deduction is the seventh volume in the Australasian Tax Teachers' Association (ATTA) Doctoral Series.

Closing Death's Door
Legal Innovations to End the Epidemic of Healthcare Harm
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
After heart disease and cancer, the third leading cause of death in the United States is iatrogenic injury (avoidable injury or infection caused by a healer). Research suggests that avoidable errors claim several hundred thousand lives every year. The principal economic counterforce to such errors, malpractice litigation, has never been a particularly effective deterrent for a host of reasons, with fewer than 3% of negligently injured patients (or their families) receiving any compensation from a doctor or hospital's insurer.Closing Death's Door brings the psychology of decision making together with the law to explore ways to improve patient safety and reduce iatrogenic injury, when neither the healthcare industry itself nor the legal system has made a substantial dent in the problem. Beginning with an unflinching introduction to the problem of patient safety, the authors go on to define iatrogenic injury and its scope, shedding light on the culture and structure of a healthcare industry that has failed to effectively address the problem-and indeed that has influenced legislation to weaken existing legal protections and impede the adoption of potentially promising reforms. Examining the weak points in existing systems with an eye to using law to more effectively bring about improvement, the authors conclude by offering a set of ideas intended to start a conversation that will lead to new legal policies that lower the risk of harm to patients. Closing Death's Door is brought to vivid life by the stories of individuals and groups that have played leading roles in the nation's struggle with iatrogenic injury, and is essential reading for medical and legal professionals, as well as lawmakers and laypeople with an interest in healthcare policy.

Civil wrongs occupy a significant place in private law. They are particularly prominent in tort law, but equally have a place in contract law, property and intellectual property law, unjust enrichment, fiduciary law, and in equity more broadly. Civil wrongs are also a preoccupation of leading general theories of private law, including corrective justice and civil recourse theories. According to these and other theories, the centrality of civil wrongs to civil liability shows that private law is fundamentally concerned with the expression and enforcement of norms of justice appropriate to interpersonal interaction and association. Others, sounding notes of caution or criticism, argue that a preoccupation with wrongs and remedies has meant neglect of other ways in which private law serves justice, and ways in which private law serves values other than justice. This volume comprises original papers written by a wide variety of legal theorists and philosophers exploring the nature of civil wrongs, their place in private law, and their relationship to other forms of wrongdoing.

The law of torts is concerned with what we owe to one another in the way of obligations not to interfere with, or impair, each other's urgent interests as we go about our lives in civil society. The most influential contemporary account of tort law treats tort liability rules as shadow prices. Their role is not to vindicate claimants' own rights and interests, but to induce us to injure one another only when it is economically efficient to do so. The chief competitors to the economic view take tort law's importance to lie primarily in the duties of repair that it imposes on wrongdoers, or in the powers of recourse that it confers on the victims of tortious wrongs. This book argues that tort law's primary obligations address a domain of basic justice and that its rhetoric of reasonableness implies a distinctive morality of mutual right and responsibility. Modern tort law is preoccupied with, and responds to, the special moral significance of harm. That special significance sometimes justifies standards of precaution more stringent than those prescribed by efficiency. This book also examines the regulatory and administrative institutions with which the common law of torts cooperates and competes, treating these as part of a continuum of institutions that instantiate the primary role pursued by modern tort law - that is, to protect our physical integrity and other essential interests from impairment and interference by others, and to do so terms that all those affected might accept as justifiable.

The contributions to this edited volume engage with John Gardner's philosophical work on private law. The content is divided into three parts. The first part gathers contributions on general theoretical issues that bear upon private law. The second part is concerned with Gardner's well-known views on responding to wrongs and the justification of reparative duties - an issue that spans all of private law. The third part turns to theoretical issues within particular areas of private law. Its focus is Gardner's focus: tort law, but it also includes chapters on contract law and equity.The primary aim of Private Law and Practical Reason is to facilitate a critical assessment of the private law thinking of one of the most important legal philosophers of the last fifty years. Gardner's contributions to private law theory are recognised to be amongst the most significant and philosophically rich. This work assembles a group of contributors with diverse theoretical commitments, many of whom have not directly engaged previously with Gardner's work, and is intended to act as a reference point for central debates in private law theory, such as the role of moral duties, the justification of reparative obligations, and, more broadly, the role of reasons in private law.

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 justifications include: risk, accident avoidance, the 'deep pockets' argument, loss-spreading, victim protection, reduction in administrative costs, and individual responsibility. By looking at how these arguments are used across the four legal systems, this book considers a variety of patterns which characterise the reasoning on strict liability. The book also assesses the justificatory weight of the arguments, showing that these can assume varying significance in the four jurisdictions and that such variations reflect different views as to the values and goals which inspire strict liability and tort law more generally. Overall, the book seeks to improve our understanding of strict liability, to shed light on the justifications for its imposition, and to enhance our understanding of the different tort cultures featuring in the four legal systems studied.

Non-instrumentalist private law theory has been dominated by an interpretivist methodology that seeks to understand the concepts, doctrines, and structures of the law in principled terms. This has resulted in the neglect of purely normative analysis and a failure to engage systematically with the methodologies of moral and political philosophy.Wrongs, Harms, and Compensation: Paying for our Mistakes departs from this approach, arguing instead that the justification of tort law is dependent on our underlying moral corrective duties. In this book, Adam Slavny develops a pluralistic account of these duties, which encompasses both wrongful and non-wrongful conduct, complicating the view that torts should be regarded as a coherent set of wrongs. He also places the practice of enforcing corrective duties in a broader context, arguing that it should not be isolated or immune to critiques based on distributive justice, and that our duties are in fact consistent with institutional arrangements other than tort law, including various types of compensation schemes. What emerges is neither a wholesale defence of or attack on tort law, but an insistence that its normative foundations are much more complex, diverse, and malleable than a focus on current legal practices would suggest.

The law enables private parties to undo the wrongs committed against them, allowing victims to seek redress. A distinctive kind of justice governs our legal rights of redress, different from the leading corrective justice approaches. Through analysis of this key idea, The Right of Redress helps to make sense of tort, contract, fiduciary law, and unjust enrichment doctrine.When a wrong is remedied, the authorship of that remedy matters. The justice in private law is sensitive to a right holder's authorship, and understanding how solves a number of legal theory puzzles. Many forms of redress are only available with state assistance, and a full account of private law requires an account of the state's responsibility to assist. It also requires an explanation of those cases in which the state declines to assist. Prior accounts have drawn on Kantian principles or a Lockean social contract theory, where The Right of Redress, drawing on public fiduciary theory, develops a distinctive account of the state's role.This book offers a new take on various modern features of the private law landscape, ranging from equity, to damage caps, to arbitration, to corporate claims, to class actions. The Right of Redress thus offers a pathbreaking account of the justice in private law, the political theory that underlies it, and the contemporary features that shape our rights of redress today.

The doctrine of contributory negligence, which is a cornerstone of private law, is very frequently invoked in practice and also raises a host of pressing theoretical issues. This volume provides legal practitioners and scholars with a clear and comprehensive exposition of the legal principles governing contributory negligence alongside an empirically informed analysis of the way in which the doctrine operates in various recurrent factual scenarios. The doctrinal analysis is supplemented by a consideration of the historical antecedents of the relevant principles and their normative underpinnings. Central to the book are six chapters in which the authors provide an introductory overview of the doctrine; and then proceed to consider its scope; when a finding of contributory negligence will be made; the consequences of such a finding; the relationship between the doctrine and other rules; and matters relating to procedure and appeals. A detailed appendix sets out the discounts imposed for contributory negligence in a range of frequently occurring situations. Although the focus is on the position in the United Kingdom, account is also taken of the case law and literature in several other common law jurisdictions.
Tort Litigation against Transnational Corporations
The Challenge of Jurisdiction in English Courts
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
There is an emerging trend of private claims being brought against parent companies of transnational corporations for their alleged involvement in human rights and environmental abuses committed abroad. These cases form part of an international effort aimed at strengthening responsible business conduct, the success of which depends on the rules governing domestic courts' power to adjudicate disputes. However, in an increasingly globalised environment, the territorial focus of the adjudicative jurisdiction is often contrary to the transnational nature of the business activities.To address this puzzle, Tort Litigation against Transnational Corporations seeks to answer three questions: Firstly, to what extent can English courts, under existing rules, exercise jurisdiction over an English parent company and its foreign subsidiaries as co-defendants? Secondly, is England a suitable forum for deciding transnational human rights claims? And, finally, should the jurisdictional competence of the English courts be broadened through a new connecting factor derived from the 'economic enterprise' theory?While the book is written from the perspective of English law, it also draws on examples of similar claims in other jurisdictions to broaden the discussion. It offers a new angle to the business and human rights discourse by placing the discussion of parent company liability cases in the context of the topical debate about the changing role of private international law in a globalised world.

The book covers issues arising during the course of professional conduct proceedings, from absence of the practitioner to evidence, findings of fact, misconduct, impairment and sanction. The book identifies the applicable statutory and non-statutory provisions and guidance on each topic and summarises the leading cases and relevant case law.

In The Laws of Restitution, Robert Stevens shows that there is no unified law of restitution or unjust enrichment. Instead, there are seven or eight different kinds of private law claim, depending on how you count them, which have nothing important in common one with another that have been grouped together by commentators. Few of these claims have anything to do with enrichment, and what is restituted differs between them. Like all private law claims, those gathered here concern (in)justice between individuals, but they have no further unity. Many of them are not based upon an agreement or a wrong, but that negative feature has no utility. "Restitution" or "unjust enrichment' should cease to be discussed as unified areas of law. With close attention to caselaw and legislation, the work identifies and describes the various reasons for "restitution" that any properly constructed system of private law ought to recognise. It explains how the law of restitution relates to, and is bound up with, contract, torts, equity, and property law.
