Purpose – This article aims to explore the concept of achieving the “right to the city” for marginalised communities. It uses human rights instruments and regeneration best practice to develop a toolkit of indicators for urban regeneration. The article contributes to the literature on realising economic, social and cultural rights encompassed in the “right to the city”.Design/methodology/approach – The article adopts an interdisciplinary approach, involving human rights law, urban planning, housing studies, community development, housing law and social policy. It draws on primary qualitative (participative and observatory) research undertaken by the author while implementing a human rights based approach in an Irish inner‐city local authority estate from 2009 to 2013.Findings – The human rights framework can be adapted to develop a set of measurable regeneration indicators. This article suggests that the application of this rights toolkit provides a greater potential for regeneration to meet human rights ...

Purpose – This paper aims to analyse the development and application of the conceptual framework within which housing scholars can think, talk about and advocate for “home”.Design/methodology/approach – It reflects on the theoretical progress that has been made in embedding a legal concept of home in the last decade, and identifies opportunities for this scholarship to support critical engagement with laws and policies that give content to home meanings.Findings – A key goal for the concept of home is to help us to think about problems differently, by highlighting important issues flowing from the human relationship with home; with the ways in which the idea of home is present or absent in legal responses to home issues. A focus on home meanings enables us to examine questions which are not always deemed “relevant” to legal proceedings, for example, the human, social and personal costs of displacement and dispossession. The concept of home provides the vocabulary, and the theoretical framework, for articu...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to re‐examine the subsidiarity rule in unjust enrichment and challenge some of its theoretical foundations and its unqualified application in unjust enrichment law as a whole.Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses a comparative approach with South African and Brazilian laws as the main reference points, but it extends the analysis to common‐law jurisdictions elsewhere. It explores the extent and limits of the applicability of the rule in claims arising from the built environment. It analyses the interaction between the subsidiarity rule and the defence of change of position.Findings – It concludes that, in three party cases, subcontractors may be able to use enrichment actions against owners to obtain an adequate redress. The exclusion of enrichment claims where there is a consensual distribution of risks and rewards normatively operates to validate any transferred benefit and eliminates any prospective normative gain or loss.

Purpose – This paper aims to evaluate the suitability and feasibility of the four most likely urban spaces for mixed use development – brownfields (contaminated lands); greenfields (open, undeveloped areas); greyfields (closed or dying shopping centers and empty parking lots); and redfields (underperforming, foreclosed commercial real estate).Design/methodology/approach – Literature about and studies of mixed use development projects in America and Britain were reviewed, and so too were specific examples of the four candidate urban spaces. The authors then analyzed which spaces succeeded as mixite and which failed.Findings – Brownfields are often not successfully transformed into usable mixite; nor are greenfields. The cost and regulatory complication of removing pollution from brownfields is too often prohibitive, and greenfields are too far away from urban core areas. By contrast, greyfields and redfields appear to be far more suitable spaces for mixed use development projects.Originality/value – Most g...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse and reflect on the changing relations of class and power in rural England, with a particular focus on housing.Design/methodology/approach – The paper reviews the evidence concerning the changing ownership of housing and land in English rural areas, and the problems relating to this.Findings – The paper finds that, in spite of huge social changes over the course of the 20th century, relations of class and power in rural England have retained the same basic form, based on landownership. The countryside continues to be dominated by landowners, who now include large numbers of nouveaux riches, while the landless (and carless) find it increasingly difficult to access housing, employment and basic services and amenities in rural areas. Landowner dominance is maintained not only by the rule of private property and property markets, but also by a state planning system that is heavily biased towards landowning classes and against the poor.Research limitations/impli...

Purpose – In Australia, compulsory rapid adjudication under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) (or the equivalent legislation another Australian State or Territory) is a common way that payment claims under commercial construction contracts are decided. Construction contracts often contain penalty clauses. In particular, time bar clauses have been used to impose a penalty upon claimants and are frequently raised by a respondent as a reason for withholding payment. In the recent case of Andrews v. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group [2012] HCA 30 (“the Andrews case”), decided by the high court of Australia, the court has described how Australian courts must deal with penal provisions in contracts. The purpose of this paper is to consider the effectiveness of time bar clauses in the light of the penalty doctrine enunciated in the Andrews case.Design/methodology/approach – A “black‐letter” approach is adopted to analyse and explain the effectiveness of time bar clau...

Purpose – The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) 2002/91/EC introduced various obligatory requirements intended to achieve the reduction of use of energy resources in buildings. This directive had to be transposed into national legislation by the EU member states. Concurrently the European Committee for Standardisation developed a number of technical standards to assist member states to define the methodology for the calculation of the energy performance of buildings. The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative review of the relationship between the European directive and the standards, and the different country legislation and methodologies that have been implemented in Malta, Italy, Spain and Cyprus.Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is based on a review of national legislation in the four states. Reference is also made to publications by the Concerted Action for the EPBD and to related publications by the national bodies responsible for the implementation of the EPBD. Th...

Purpose – The paper will aim to examine the contemporary origins and development of the planning system and housing regulation in England and Ireland. One objective is to broadly explicate how the regulation of housing in England began, with reference to Ireland, and its relationship with the planning system. The other is to outline the swing in England from a hotchpotch decentralised system to a centralised, and back again sharply to decentralised approach to planning and the provision for housing, a swing unparalleled in Ireland.Design/methodology/approach – The approach is to consider the main influences on the regulation of planning and housing, with reference to historical, social and legal regulatory developments, and to broadly assess the role of centralised and decentralised systems.Findings – The regulation of housing was an incidental product of the regulation of public health. The use of town and country planning principles could have assisted such regulation, but were unpopular until the devel...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse whether title to land is secure in England and Wales when registered under the Land Registration Act 2002, in particular when a title is registered without the proprietor being able to establish good title under pre‐registration rules of property law.Design/methodology/approach – This paper analyses reported judgments, with particular emphasis on the decision in Walker v. Burton [2012].Findings – The paper identifies an uncertainty at the heart of the registration system: the uncertainty as to the extent to which a registered title may be rectified to remove the proprietor. This is acute when it appears that the registered proprietor has no claim to the land other than by reason of his registration. There may be a difference in this regard between intangible property titles and tangible titles.Originality/value – The Land Registration Act 2002 is meant to replace registration of title with title by registration.

目的-本文的目的是分析根据《2002年土地登记法》注册的土地所有权在英格兰和威尔士是否安全，特别是当所有权注册时，业主无法根据物权法的预注册规则建立良好的所有权。设计/方法论/方法-本文分析了报告的判决，特别强调了Walker v. Burton[2012]一案的判决。调查结果-本文确定了注册制度核心的不确定性:已注册所有权可以在多大程度上被纠正以移除所有者的不确定性。当注册东主除了其注册原因外似乎对土地没有任何权利要求时，这种情况就显得尤为严重。在这方面，无形财产所有权和有形财产所有权之间可能存在差异。原创性/价值——《2002年土地登记法》旨在用注册所有权取代所有权注册。它的真正力量现在才显现出来……

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test existing theoretical models relating to management agreements and “developer abuse” in relation to multi‐unit housing developments through applying them to a new jurisdiction: New Zealand.Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses a combination of case studies from reported legal cases, and a socio‐legal framework, to apply existing models to New Zealand.Findings – The analysis shows that existing models are accurate, but can be improved and refined through a deeper examination of the issues arising from decided cases. New phenomena were identified that require more attention.Research limitations/implications – This analysis is restricted to decided cases and empirical research may allow further findings. The research was also limited to New Zealand as a test of existing models.Practical implications – The analysis in this paper shows that there are difficulties with recent law reforms, and more attention is needed to legislative solutions to the problems i...
