Jonathan Morgan – författare

Professor Jane Stapleton is one of the world's leading experts on causation and has had a profound impact on tort law scholarship, both in terms of the incredible range of topics she has contributed to, and across the multiple countries she has worked in. Torts on Three Continents: Honouring Jane Stapleton brings together a group of scholars from Stapleton's 'home' country Australia, from the United Kingdom, where she spent much of her professional career, and the United States, where she has made such a significant contribution, to celebrate and honour her work.Torts on Three Continents reveals the impressive and enviable breadth of Jane Stapleton's scholarship while contributing to many of the ongoing and traditional debates in tort. The volume is split into four parts. The first part focuses on general themes that arise in Stapleton's work, including the academic influence on judges, the role of insurance in compensation, the impact of vulnerability on tort law and liability of public authorities. The second part considers aspects of liability in the tort of negligence, including duties of care for psychiatric harm. The third part is dedicated completely to causation, with three chapters from authors in three different countries reflecting on the impact of Stapleton's work in this area. The final section covers a variety of different aspects of tort law and compensation systems, including harms committed in the public interest, damage in economic torts, statutory product liability reforms and alternative compensation scheme design.Powerful and thought-provoking, this book will provide its readers with an appreciation of the magnitude of Jane Stapleton's contribution across the common law world, and a novel perspective on some of the more modern challenges faced in tort law.

Commercial contract law is in every sense optional given the choice between legal systems and law and arbitration. Its 'doctrines' are in fact virtually all default rules. Contract Law Minimalism advances the thesis that commercial parties prefer a minimalist law that sets out to enforce what they have decided - but does nothing else. The limited capacity of the legal process is the key to this 'minimalist' stance. This book considers evidence that such minimalism is indeed what commercial parties choose to govern their transactions. It critically engages with alternative schools of thought, that call for active regulation of contracts to promote either economic efficiency or the trust and co-operation necessary for 'relational contracting'. The book also necessarily argues against the view that private law should be understood non-instrumentally (whether through promissory morality, corrective justice, taxonomic rationality, or otherwise). It sketches a restatement of English contract law in line with the thesis.

This collection explores the nature and justification of mandatory rules (which are non-excludable) and default rules (which can be modified or excluded by the parties) in contract and commercial law. The collection distinguishes between different kinds of mandatory and default rules that govern commercial transactions. It also explores the choice of rule in various situations. Which rules are mandatory, and are there clearly understood and convincing reasons for parties to be denied choice? In the case of default rules, on what basis is the default position selected? The collection also explores the fundamentally important relationship between default rules and interpretation, and, relatedly, between default rules and contractual risk allocation. The collection will be of interest to academics and practitioners working across the field of commercial law.
