Revolution and Evolution in Private Law
Hart Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-5099-1324-4 (ISBN)
The essays in this volume explore some of the highlights in this fascinating revolutionary and evolutionary development of private law. The contributors expose the nature of the changes undergone and their significance for the future direction of travel. They identify the circumstances and the contexts which might have provided an impetus for these significant changes.
The essays range across all areas of private law, including contract, tort, unjust enrichment and property. No area has been immune from development. That fact itself is unsurprising, but an extended examination of the particular circumstances and contexts which delivered some of private law’s most important developments has its own special significance for what it might indicate about the shape, and the shaping, of private law regimes in the future.
