This chapter explores the relationship between private law and common law. Both private law and the common law fit awkwardly into the dominant theoretical models of law, which emphasize regulation and social control by the state. Thus, the common law has long been criticized for failing to comply with the model of clearly articulated rules that are announced ex ante and applied ex post. The private law, for its part, contains numerous features that make it a poor candidate for a well-designed regulatory regime. The chapter then argues that developments in private law theory suggest a convergence between private law and the common law that responds to these issues, rendering the law both intelligible and providing an answer to the common objection that the common law involves ex post facto lawmaking. In addition, a recovery of this classical common law theory is both conceptually feasible and offers solutions to problems left currently unanswered by neoformalism.
本章探讨私法与普通法的关系。私法和普通法都尴尬地融入了强调国家监管和社会控制的主流法律理论模式。因此,普通法长期以来一直受到批评,因为它没有遵循事先宣布、事后适用的明确规则模式。就私法本身而言,它包含了许多特征,使其不适合设计良好的监管制度。然后,本章认为,私法理论的发展表明私法和普通法之间的趋同,这对这些问题作出了回应,使法律既可理解,又为普通法涉及事后立法的普遍反对意见提供了答案。此外,这种经典普通法理论的恢复在概念上是可行的,并为新形式主义目前未解决的问题提供了解决方案。

Judicial Reasoning: The Production of Legal Knowledge 司法推理:法律知识的产生
Pub Date : 2019-05-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3386200
Mustafa Tashkandi
The author of this paper argues that judicial ratios can be classified into two different categories: 1) logical ratios, and 2) non-logical ratios. As an example, the author presents four different judicial ratios from four different UK case law. The paper also discusses the criteria which one must be looking at when classifying judicial ratios. The paper borrows ideas from the field of Set Theory and Analytic Philosophy, especially from the work of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
本文认为,司法比率可以分为两类:1)逻辑比率和2)非逻辑比率。作为一个例子,作者提出了四种不同的司法比例从四个不同的英国判例法。本文还讨论了对司法比率进行分类时必须考虑的标准。本文借鉴了集合论和分析哲学领域的思想,特别是罗素和维特根斯坦的著作。

Fusion and Theories of Equity in Common Law Systems 英美法系衡平法的融合与理论
Pub Date : 2018-09-22 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.3253606
P. G. Turner
The fusion of law and equity in common law systems was a crucial moment in the development of modern Anglo-American law, with implications for the procedural, substantive and remedial aspects of law. This paper will introduce a volume of essays in which scholars undertake historical, comparative, doctrinal and theoretical analysis that aims to shed light on the ways in which law and equity have fused, and the ways in which they have remained distinct even in a ‘post-fusion’ world. The central concern of this paper lies in two facts. The first is that the presence of equity in common law systems poses fundamental questions. What is the place of equity in a modern common law system? Is the purpose of equity, as a distinct ingredient of common law systems, spent? Should equity be distributed through the law? If equity should be a distinct ingredient of common law systems, in what form? The second is that fusion (or merger or union) has become the means by which lawyers address those basic questions. Helpful answers to these basal questions have become more remote as theories of equity have become constrained by the terms in which fusion is discussed. How can the situation be improved? This chapter suggests that a newly widened perspective is needed. The constitutional place that has been assigned to equity in common law systems must be acknowledged and accommodated. And any modern theory of equity must be composite rather than simple or unitary. Also important to appreciate is the practical significance of how fusion is discussed, and how equity theories are formed, in the thinking of lawyers and the work of the courts. To illustrate that practical point, illustrations are given of the accidental fusion of law and equity through the unthinking assimilation of modern equitable claims to the common law forms of action finally abolished in England in 1875.
普通法体系中法律与衡平法的融合是现代英美法发展的一个关键时刻,对法律的程序、实体和补救方面都产生了影响。本文将介绍一卷论文,其中学者进行历史,比较,理论和理论分析,旨在阐明法律与公平融合的方式,以及即使在“后融合”的世界中,它们仍然保持独特的方式。本文的中心关注点在于两个事实。首先,衡平法在普通法体系中的存在带来了根本性的问题。衡平法在现代普通法制度中的地位是什么?衡平法作为英美法系的一个独特组成部分,其目的是否已经实现?公平应该通过法律来分配吗?如果衡平法应该成为英美法系的一个独特组成部分,以何种形式?第二,融合(或合并或联合)已成为律师解决这些基本问题的手段。随着公平理论受到讨论核聚变的术语的限制,对这些基本问题的有用答案变得更加遥远。如何改善这种情况?这一章表明,需要一个新的拓宽的视角。在普通法制度中赋予衡平法的宪法地位必须得到承认和接纳。任何现代公平理论都必须是综合的,而不是简单或单一的。同样重要的是要认识到,在律师的思想和法院的工作中,如何讨论融合,以及公平理论如何形成的现实意义。为了说明这一实际观点,本文列举了法律与衡平法的偶然融合,即通过不加思考地将现代衡平法要求权同化为最终于1875年在英国废除的普通法诉讼形式。

Bill of Sale Lending: Reforming a ‘Toxic’ Form of Credit 出售票据贷款:改革“有毒”的信贷形式
Pub Date : 2018-03-01 DOI: 10.1111/1468-2230.12330
G. Swaby, Rebecca J. Kelly, P. Richards
The Bills of Sale Acts were enacted in Victorian times as a form of secured credit whereby ‘goods’ owned by a borrower could be assigned under the bill of sale to a lender who would have title to the goods transferred to him. The lender would then allow the borrower to retain possession of the goods in exchange for instalment payments with interest. In the twenty‐first century these bills are most commonly used as ‘logbook loans’ for vehicles with extortionate interest rates and very little protection for individual consumers. This article examines the operational background to the Bill of Sale Acts. It focuses upon particular concerns for consumers and businesses and provides critique of the registration process before examining the proposals and consultations for reform currently before the Law Commission.
《销售票据法》是在维多利亚时代颁布的,作为一种担保信贷的形式,货物在此获得担保。借款人的所有权可以根据销售票据转让给贷款人,贷款人将对转让给他的货物拥有所有权。然后,贷款人将允许借款人保留对货物的占有,以换取分期付款和利息。在二十世纪,这些票据最常被用作日志贷款。针对那些利率过高、对个人消费者几乎没有保护的汽车。本文考察了《销售票据法》的运作背景。它侧重于消费者和企业的特别关切,并在审查法律委员会目前提出的改革建议和协商之前,对登记过程提出批评。

After the Golden Victory: Still Lost at Sea 黄金胜利之后:仍然迷失在海上
Pub Date : 2015-12-06 DOI: 10.4337/9781789902518.00009
Victor P. Goldberg
In The Golden Victory the House of Lords held that when determining damages for a repudiatory breach, in a conflict between the compensatory principle and finality, the former trumped. The decision was recently ratified by the Supreme Court in Bunge SA v. Nidera BV. The claim in this paper is that this was a mistake; properly conceived, there is no conflict. The contract should be viewed as an asset and compensation would entail determining the decline in value of that asset at the time of the breach. The value of the contract at that moment would reflect the possible effects of future events (e.g., the occurrence of the Gulf War in The Golden Victory and the lifting of the Russian wheat embargo in Bunge). This does not mean rejection of the compensatory principle; it simply entails defining more precisely what is being compensated — the value of the contract at the moment it had been repudiated.
在“金色胜利”一案中,英国上议院认为,在判定不可否认违约的损害赔偿时,在赔偿原则与终局性的冲突中,前者占上风。最近,最高法院在Bunge SA诉Nidera BV案中批准了这一决定。本文认为这是一个错误;如果构想得当,就不会有冲突。合同应被视为一项资产,赔偿将需要确定该资产在违约时的价值下降。此时的合同价值将反映未来事件可能产生的影响(例如,海湾战争在《黄金胜利》中爆发,俄罗斯小麦禁运在《Bunge》中解除)。这并不意味着否定补偿原则;它只需要更精确地定义得到补偿的是什么——合同在被拒绝时的价值。

Delictual Liability and the Loss of Opportunity of Fatherhood: Holdich v Lothian Health Board 赡养责任和丧失做父亲的机会:霍尔德希诉洛锡安卫生委员会
Pub Date : 2015-09-20 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2663063
E. Reid
Is the loss of the opportunity of fatherhood a form of damage recognised by the law of delict? Much academic commentary has already been generated by the English case of Yearworth v North Bristol NHS Trust [2009] EWCA Civ 37, [2010] QB 1, in which the Court of Appeal ruled that the negligent destruction of sperm samples entrusted for storage to the defendant by cancer patients constituted an actionable breach of bailment. In reaching that decision it took the view that the damage to the sperm samples could not be regarded as personal injury, and other potential grounds for liability in tort were not explored in depth. These issues have now come to the fore in Scotland in Holdich v Lothian Health Board [2013] CSOH 197, 2014 SLT 495, which arose out of similar circumstances. Following citation of Yearworth, Lord Stewart held the pursuer relevantly to have argued that sperm samples deposited by him with the defender were capable of being owned by him, and that, consequently, failure properly to conserve them could be regarded as a breach of the contract of deposit. However, his Lordship further allowed that the case in negligence for damages for mental injury, and for loss of “autonomy”, was relevant for proof, observing in addition that a claim based upon personal injury might not have been “far fetched”. Others have commented in detail upon the property law implications of Holdich (see See K. Reid “Body Parts and Property”, Edinburgh Law School Working Paper Series, 2015/25 (SSRN, 2015). This paper focuses instead upon the important questions of delictual liability raised thereby.
丧失做父亲的机会是违法行为法所承认的一种损害吗?英国Yearworth诉North Bristol NHS Trust一案[2009]EWCA Civ 37, [2010] QB 1已经产生了许多学术评论,其中上诉法院裁定,疏忽破坏癌症患者委托给被告储存的精子样本构成可诉的违反保释。在作出这一决定时,法院认为对精子样本的损害不能被视为人身伤害,并且没有深入探讨侵权责任的其他潜在理由。在苏格兰holich诉洛锡安卫生委员会[2013]CSOH 197, 2014 SLT 495案中,这些问题现已浮出水面,该案产生于类似的情况。在引用Yearworth一案之后,Lord Stewart认为追诉人相关地辩称,他向辩护人存放的精子样本能够为他所有,因此,未能妥善保存这些精子样本可被视为违反了存放合同。然而,法官大人进一步承认,过失损害精神伤害和丧失“自主权”的案件与证据有关,此外还指出,基于人身伤害的索赔可能并非“牵强附会”。其他人已经详细评论了holich的物权法含义(见K. Reid“身体部位和财产”,爱丁堡法学院工作论文系列,2015/25 (SSRN, 2015)。相反,本文侧重于由此提出的侵权责任的重要问题。

The Jurist in a Global Age 全球化时代的法学家
Pub Date : 2015-04-13 DOI: 10.1017/9781316442906.003
Neil Walker
The jurist comprehends law as something more than technical expertise. The jurist is concerned not only with serving the needs of her professional clients, whatever these needs may be, but also with the wider purpose of enhancing the well-being of law as a practical idea. What implications does this longstanding if highly open-ended conception of the jurist have for legal research and education today? The paper begins to address this question by exploring some of the general and enduring tensions and divisions within our understanding of law as an academic discipline; between a humanities-based approach and a social scientific approach, and also between service, detached and critical orientations towards the law. It then proceeds to re-examine these divisions in the context of the intense development of transnational and global law in the contemporary age. The paper argues that the challenge to state-centred legal authority accompanying that development has enhanced the role of jurists as co-producers of legal norms and authority frameworks. It has also required jurists to become more invested both in the kind of reflective historical inquiry into and evaluation of our common cultural productions associated with the humanities, and in the analysis of emergent trends associated with certain of the social sciences. And in its focus on the new fluidity of legal authority, the globalisation of law also increasingly questions the force of the opposition between a conservatively-inflected service or detached orientation and a (potentially transformative) critical orientation. The role of the jurist in a global age, in sum, is significantly altered, and requires us to revise some of the distinctions that have traditionally attended our thinking about legal teaching and learning.
法学家不仅仅把法律理解为技术专长。法学家所关心的不仅是服务于其专业客户的需要,无论这些需要是什么,而且还有一个更广泛的目标,即作为一种实际的理念,增进法律的福祉。这种长期存在的、高度开放的法学家概念对今天的法律研究和教育有什么影响?本文通过探索我们对法律作为一门学科的理解中的一些普遍和持久的紧张和分歧来开始解决这个问题;在以人文为基础的方法和社会科学的方法之间,以及在对法律的服务,超然和批判的方向之间。然后,在当代跨国和全球法律的激烈发展的背景下,重新审视这些分歧。本文认为,伴随这一发展而来的对以国家为中心的法律权威的挑战,增强了法学家作为法律规范和权威框架的共同创造者的作用。它还要求法学家更多地投入到对与人文学科相关的共同文化产物的反思性历史调查和评估中,以及对与某些社会科学相关的新兴趋势的分析中。在关注法律权威的新流动性的同时,法律的全球化也日益质疑保守倾向的服务或超然取向与(潜在变革的)批判取向之间的对立力量。总之,在全球化时代,法学家的角色发生了重大变化,这要求我们修改一些传统上影响我们对法律教学和学习思考的区别。

The Properties of the Law: Restoring Personal Property Through Crime and Tort 法律的属性:通过犯罪和侵权行为恢复个人财产
Pub Date : 2014-01-03 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2377311
M. Dyson, Sarah Green
Why are the civil remedies at common law which delivery up specific moveable property to another with greater right to possess so narrow in English law? Historically the equitable remedy of specific restoration returned property more easily than even the rule today; the common law remedy remains discretionary, with the claimant having to show the value to the property that cannot be found equally easily in the market. There may be a number of reasons behind this. The purpose of this chapter is to show the role played by the widely available proprietary remedies in the criminal law, as well as the role of the conceptual structure of property law in England focussing on relative title to possess. The argument being tested is that there was less pressure to develop a civil law restoration remedy because significant practical results were being achieved by the criminal mechanisms. It is all the more interesting that specific restoration has been more significant than compensation in the criminal law (when the reverse has been true in the civil law).
为什么普通法中将特定动产转让给另一个拥有更大占有权的人的民事救济在英国法中如此狭隘?历史上,特定恢复的衡平法救济甚至比今天的规则更容易归还财产;普通法的救济仍然是酌情的,索赔人必须证明在市场上不容易找到的财产价值。这背后可能有很多原因。本章的目的是展示广泛适用的所有权救济在刑法中所发挥的作用,以及英国物权法的概念结构的作用,该结构侧重于相对占有权。正在接受检验的论点是,由于刑事机制正在取得重大的实际成果,因此制定民法恢复补救措施的压力较小。更有趣的是,在刑法中,具体的恢复比赔偿更重要(而在民法中则相反)。

It is all the more interesting that specific restoration has been more significant than compensation in the criminal law (when the reverse has been true in the civil law).","PeriodicalId":433815,"journal":{"name":"English Law: Personal Obligations & Legal Theory (Topic)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129537896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding Intimidation 理解恐吓
Pub Date : 2014-01-01 DOI: 10.1111/1468-2230.12055
John Murphy
This article examines the gist, vitality and practical utility of the tort of intimidation and identifies what count as unlawful threats and as actionable harm. While two versions of the tort have been identified in the past – one involving two parties, one involving three – only the former has survived the decision of the House of Lords in OBG v Allan. In the context considering the tort's practical usefulness, the article exposes as bogus the suggestion that two‐party intimidation offers nothing that is not already supplied under the law of contract via the doctrines of anticipatory breach, duress and economic duress. The article concludes with two radical suggestions. First, that two‐party intimidation is not a specifically economic tort and secondly, in view of this fact, it was a most inappropriate tool for the House of Lords to have used in their resurrection of the tort of unlawful means conspiracy in Total Network SL v Revenue and Customs Commissioners.
本文考察了恐吓侵权的要旨、生命力和实际效用,并确定了什么可以算作非法威胁和可诉损害。虽然过去已经确定了两种侵权行为——一种涉及两方,一种涉及三方——但只有前一种侵权行为在上议院OBG诉艾伦案的判决中幸存下来。在考虑侵权行为的实际用途的背景下,本文揭示了双方恐吓没有提供任何根据预期违约、胁迫和经济胁迫理论在合同法下已经提供的东西的说法是虚假的。文章最后提出了两个激进的建议。首先,双方恐吓不是一种特定的经济侵权行为,其次,鉴于这一事实,上议院在Total Network SL诉税收和海关专员案中复活非法手段侵权行为是一种最不合适的工具。
