Download or read book Damages and Compensation Culture written by Eoin Quill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of the essays in this book is on the relationship between compensation culture, social values and tort damages for personal injuries. A central concern of the public and political perception of personal injuries claims is the high cost of tort claims to society, reflected in insurance premiums, often accompanied by an assumption that tort law and practice is flawed and improperly raising such costs. The aims of this collection are to first clarify the relationship between tort damages for personal injuries and the social values that the law seeks to reflect and to balance, then to critically assess tort reforms, including both proposals for reform and actual implemented reforms, in light of how they advance or hinder those values. Reforms of substantive and procedural law in respect of personal injury damages are analysed, with perspectives from England and Wales, Canada, Australia, Ireland and continental Europe. The essays offer valuable insights to anyone interested in the reform of tort law or the tort process in respect of personal injuries.

Download or read book Taking Law Seriously written by James Goudkamp and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates the scholarship of Peter Cane. The significance and scale of his contributions to the discipline of law over the last half-century cannot be overstated. In an era of increasing specialisation, Cane stands out on account of the unusually broad scope of his interests, which extend to both private and public law in equal measure. This substantive breadth is combined with remarkable doctrinal, historical, comparative and theoretical depth. This book is written by admirers of Cane's work, and the essays probe a wide range of issues, especially in administrative law and tort law. Consistently with the international prominence that Cane's research has enjoyed, the contributors are drawn from across the common law world. The volume will be of value to anyone who is interested in Cane's towering contributions to legal scholarship and administrative law and tort law more generally.

Download or read book Climate Change and People on the Move written by Fanny Thornton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book applies a justice framework to analysis of the actual and potential role of international law with respect to people on the move in the context of anthropogenic climate change. That people are affected by the impacts of climate change is no longer doubted, including with implications for people movement (migration, displacement, relocation, etc.). Climate Change and People on the Move tackles unique questions concerning international responsibility for people movement arising from the inequities inherent to climate change. Corrective and distributive justice provide the analytical backbone, and are explored in a substantial theoretical chapter and then applied to subsequent contextual analysis. Corrective justice supports analysis as to whether people movement in the climate change context could be conceived or framed as harm, loss, or damage which is compensable under international law, either through fault-centred regimes or no-fault regimes (i.e. insurance). Distributive justice supports analysis as to whether such movement could be conceived or framed as a disproportionate burden, either for those faced with movement or those faced with sheltering people on the move, from which duties of re-distribution may stem. This book contributes to the growing scholarship and analysis concerning international law or governance and people movement in response to the impacts of climate change by investigating the bounds of the law where the phenomenon is viewed as one of (in)justice.

Download or read book Safety Net written by Daniel Mulino and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economist and Labor MP Daniel Mulino explains how the Australian welfare state was created - and what we need to do to protect and extend it The welfare state is one of the crowning achievements of the twentieth century, giving citizens access to healthcare, pensions, disability and unemployment benefits. This unprecedented expansion of the state was a product of the postwar period of the late 1940s, when governments ramped up investment in this grand safety net. By the 1970s, half of all government spending went towards social-welfare programs, but today the welfare state stands at a crossroads, beset by both political opposition and funding pressures as the population ages. Australian Labor Party MP Daniel Mulino provides a sweeping account of the history of welfare in Australia and abroad, from Bismarckian Germany to present-day Canberra. In this deeply researched and lucid account, Mulino looks to the challenges facing today's welfare state and reflects on what steps must be taken to protect and extend it. 'Knowledge and thoughtful analysis applied to crucial policy questions. Reassuring and inspiring after the federal election.' -Ross Garnaut 'A timely and comprehensive review of the history and future of the welfare state, and whether Australia's safety net is fit-for-purpose for the risks and challenges ahead' -Peter Dawkins, former vice-chancellor of Victoria University and former director of the Melbourne Institute 'A deep reflection on the contemporary management of social risk in democratic systems. This thoughtful and challenging book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the task of ensuring our social safety net is sustainable and adapted to the modern era.' -Emma Dawson, executive director of Per Capita 'Daniel Mulino chronicles in impressive, readable detail the global progress that societies have made in developing shock-absorbing social policies, and proposes further development in the footsteps of Australia's greatest social and economic reformers.' -Peter Harris, former chairman of the Australian Productivity Commission 'Social policies need to be shaped by policymakers as well as by scholars versed in economics and history. MP Daniel Mulino applies all these skills in fashioning this monumental work. It's all there: a complete set of practical experience-based recommendations for every kind of social insurance." -Professor Peter H. Lindert, University of California - Davis and author of Making Social Spending Work
