Abstract
This volume brings together expert contributors across different fields of private law to comment on key decisions by the UK Supreme Court (UKSC).
Each author explores their case’s content, as well as its broader implications for private law as a field and the Supreme Court as an institution. The work is divided into the following areas: tort, contract and unjust enrichment, and property law and equity. Providing expert commentary on recent authorities of the highest level in one place, the collection will enable readers interested in these areas to conveniently locate analysis that will aid them in their work. Taken together, the contributions enable identification of themes relating to continuity and change, the role of policy in private law, the structure of private law, neglecting differences in bargaining power, and the Court’s relationship with the lower courts.
As such, it will be an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, practitioners, judges, and policymakers.
