Does private law punish? This collection answers this complex but compelling question. Lawyers from across the spectrum of the law (contract, tort, restitution) explore exactly how it punishes wrong doing. These leading voices ask whether that punishment is effective and what its societal role might be. Taking the discussion out of the technical and into a broader realms of a wider purpose, it is both compelling and thought-provoking.

Elise Bant is Professor of Private Law and Commercial Regulation at The University of Western Australia and Professorial Fellow at Melbourne Law School. Wayne Courtney is Professor of Law at the National University of Singapore. James Goudkamp is Professor of the Law of Obligations at the University of Oxford. Jeannie Marie Paterson is Professor of Law at Melbourne Law School.
