Download or read book The Law of Bailment written by Robert Tanha and published by Irwin Law. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law of Bailment explores all aspects of a bailment transaction, from the perspective of both the bailee and the bailor. It attempts to simplify the rules of bailment and make them more intelligible for law students, lawyers, judges, and members of the public who are seeking to understand, or better understand, a bailment law rule. This is done using numerous examples arising from the caselaw, and by providing the reader with statements of law on all aspects of bailment that are clear and understandable -- but at the same time, appropriately qualified, meaningful, and usable. In particular, this book highlights the importance of the common law of bailment to transactions that people engage in every day, such as depositing their goods for storage with a business or lending a friend their vehicle to drive for the weekend while they go out of town. The general concepts of the law of bailment -- including the sui generis nature of a bailment, the bailee's reverse onus of proof, and the bailee's overarching duty of safekeeping -- are discussed at length. The text distinguishes bailment from other types of legal obligation that may arise in circumstances similar to those triggering a bailment, including trust, conversion, consignment, and licence, to demonstrate that the law treats bailments in a singularly distinct manner. The important topic of sub-bailment is reviewed and found to present unique challenges not encountered in ordinary bailment transactions. Finally, The Law of Bailment notes any major discrepancies in the caselaw, analyzes these issues, and offers up viable solutions throughout the book.

Download or read book Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract written by Charles Mitchell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-05-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract offers twelve original essays by leading contract scholars. As with the essays in the companion volume, Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution (Hart, 2006) each essay takes as its focus a particular leading case, and analyses that case in its historical or theoretical context. The cases range from the early eighteenth- to the late twentieth-centuries, and deal with an array of contractual doctrines. Some of the essays call for their case to be stripped of its landmark status, whilst others argue that it has more to offer than we have previously appreciated. The particular historical context of these landmark cases, as revealed by the authors, often shows that our current assumptions about the case and what it stands for are either mistaken, or require radical modification. The book also explores several common themes which are fundamental to the development of the law of contract: for instance, the influence of commercial expectations, appeals to 'reason' and the significance of particular judicial ideologies and techniques.

Download or read book Property on Trial written by Eric Tucker and published by Irwin Law. This book was released on 2012 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-Published with the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History Property on Trial is a collection of 14 studies of Canadian property law disputes -- some well-known, some more obscure -- that have helped to shape the contours of the principles and rules of property law over 150 years. These studies, written by some of Canada's leading legal historians, range in time from a discussion of a nineteenth-century dispute over the ownership of seal pelts in Newfoundland to modern questions of what constitutes private property in a digital age. They investigate the relationship between private and public interests in property; the limits of private property owners' rights in relation to others, particularly neighbours and family; and the intersection of property law principles with other branches of the law, including criminal law, family law, and human rights. The authors describe, in rich detail, the social, cultural, and political contexts in which the events unfolded, the backgrounds and personalities of the litigants, the skills of the lawyers, and the judicial attitudes of the day. On the one hand, Property on Trial is a collection of thoughtful and compelling stories about conflict in a wide variety of contexts, each with its own heroines and heroes, villains and ne'er-do-wells, winners and losers. On the other, it is an insightful look at the history of property law doctrine in Canada.
