Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Justifying Private Rights by Edited by Professor Simone Degeling Edited by Dr Michael Crawford Edited by Nicholas Tiverios
Many of the most important contributions to private law scholarship in the latter part of the 20th century go beyond pure doctrinal/ functional accounts of private law. A distinctive feature of these contributions are that they sit between philosophical theory and legal doctrine or the law as applied by courts. In that sense they are both doctrinal and theoretical. This collection argues that these contributions deserve their own classification: namely New Private Law. Taking a two-part approach it looks at the general nature of the New Private Law then considers private rights in property tort contract unjust enrichment and equity.
