In short, the selective reader is best advised to pick contributions on the basis of title, rather than by reference to the “parts”. In conclusion, the volume presents a collection of voices from diverse fields to tackle a pressing example of personal data being used to shape the world. The application of different lenses highlights the pertinence of a broad range of existing philosophical concepts and legal frameworks. Ultimately, most of the contributions point towards the need for policy changes: as the conclusion highlights, the collection is essentially a “call to understand the potential of law to counter-balance the impact of personalisation on the social order as a whole” (p. 303). The book is therefore recommended for lawyers and policy-makers, but the more abstract contributions should be read alongside the more practical.

Abstract Censure, blame and harms are central concepts in sentencing that have evolved over the years to take into account social context and experiential knowledge. Flexibility, however, remains limited as the current analysis in sentencing focuses on the offender while failing to engage with the state's contribution in creating wrongs and harms. This risks giving rise to defective practices of responsibility since the state can also contribute to their production. The following article presents a complementary and additional framework within sentencing to account for state censure, blame and harms. The framework is rooted in communicative theories of punishment that integrate a responsive understanding of censure and a relational account of responsibility.

Abstract Equality before the law is a foundational principle of the common law and is of particular importance for administrative law, given the connection between judicial review and the rule of law. Analysis as to the precise requirements of this principle can help us better to understand the role that obligations to act consistently play within judicial review. This article will examine whether consistency ought to be classed as a separate ground of review and argue that this is unnecessary. Examination of the role that legal equality plays within common law reason generally will shed light on the role that it plays within administrative law in particular. Consistency is best conceived as a background principle, informed by the value of legal equality, housed within reasonableness review and not as a separate ground of review that could elide the distinction between review and appeal.

will recognise how such a proprietary right would be highly problematic and would fly in the face of the foundational doctrinal principle of intellectual property law. This takes me to the third lingering question that runs throughout this volume: the difficult concept of property, particularly in relation to information, data and trade secrets. As the editors have chosen to label this a Handbook on Information Law and not Intellectual Property Law, classic intellectual property law doctrine does not necessarily apply. The result is an inevitable hodgepodge of usage, where terms such as “commodity”, “ownership” and “owner” of data are scattered throughout the chapters. The difficulty in pinning down the terminology also illustrates the uncertainty that exists regarding information law’s relationship to traditional property doctrine, misappropriation and competition law. Part III of the Handbook is dedicated to trade secrecy, and Part IV to data protection, privacy and cybersecurity. While focusing most of the book on the US, UK and EU, two of the chapters are dedicated to a non-Western jurisdiction: a chapter by Tatsuhiro Ueno on recent legislative reform in Japan regarding copyright and trade secrets (Chapter 6, “Big Data in Japan”), and a chapter by Henrike Weiden and Kensaku Takase on the reception of European data protection law in Japan (Chapter 14, “Data Privacy in Europe and Its Reception Under Japanese Law”). The discussions of legal issues and emerging technologies are dispersed throughout the volume, with a few dedicated chapters at the end, such as Margot E. Kaminski’s chapter on the right to explainability in EU data protection law (Chapter 15, “The Right to Explanation, Explained”), and Faye Fangfei Wang’s chapter on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity (Chapter 17, “Legislative Developments on Cybersecurity in the EU in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”), engaging with the frontiers of the academic debates in these areas of law. This Handbook is undoubtedly a good resource for anyone interested in the foundational tenets of many areas of information law. However, the heavy focus on established intellectual property scholarship begs the question whether its authors are ready to embrace this field as a new branch of law, as argued for in Nathenson’s first chapter, or simply stretch the intellectual property umbrella even wider. Cognisant that any volume can only represent a small fraction of a field, the omission of many of the new areas of information law suggests that there is room for the publisher’s Information Law Series to continue to make salient contributions to this growing literature for quite some time.

excellently presented by Beever in Part II, can free us from the old debates in the grand jurisprudential battle discussed in Part III. This is so particularly because throughout Part III – consisting more than half of the book’s content – Beever is trying to defend one camp in the battle against the other, despite his avowal that this battle is a great waste of time. To borrow Beever’s Freudian terminology (p. 264), it almost seems that he is consciously trying to move on from the battle while unconsciously joining the battle himself. Beever’s sustained attacks on legal positivism are often vigorous and skilful. However, in deploying those attacks he draws only sparingly on Searle and adopts a methodology that is virtually indistinguishable from how jurisprudence has traditionally been practised, making good use of doctrinal legal materials (showcasing Beever’s expertise in tort law), but ultimately letting the philosopher’s own intuition do the decisive work. Beever hence demonstrates by his own practice that one can still make new contributions to the persistent jurisprudential debates, which Searle’s social philosophy has not enabled us to either resolve or dissolve.
