Private Law And Power (Hart Studies In Private Law) - 9781509929726

The aim of this edited collection of essays is to examine the relationship between private law and power--both the public power of the state and the 'private' power of institutions and individuals. It describes and critically assesses the way that private law doctrines, institutions, processes, and rules express, moderate, facilitate and control relationships of power. The various chapters of this work examine the dynamics of the relationship between private law and power from a number of different perspectives--historical, theoretical, doctrinal and comparative. They have been commissioned from leading experts in the field of private law from Australia, the UK, Canada, and New Zealand. They aim to illuminate the past and assist in resolving some contemporary, difficult legal issues relating to the shape, scope and content of private law and its difficult relationship with power.
