Luu-Ban-Nhap-Tu-Dong-8-3.Pdf COMMERCIAL LAW AND COMMERCIAL PRACTICE This edited collection brings together leading scholars and practitioners from various jurisdictions with chapters and commentaries coordinated around the theme of alignments and misalignments between commercial law and commercial practice. The purpose of the book is to prompt a more critical and constructive reassessment of current commercial law and its practices, and to instigate a more fruitful dialogue between academics, judges, law reformers and practitioners. The result is a series of provocative and challenging essays addressing an enormous range of problems that are of intimate concern to commercial practice. Some essays focus on broad themes, such as globalisation and trust. Others address more specific issues, such as contract interpretation or constraining modern management. Yet another group targets special prob- lems, such as dematerialisation or super-priority, in order to assess the suc- cess of commercial law in meeting commercial demands. The depth and breadth of issues addressed is a credit to the authors. Taken as a whole, the volume makes some pointed suggestions for improving the practices and processes, and indeed the future progress, of commercial law.

The goal is to promote a better dialogue between academics, judges, law T reformers and practitioners, and to initiate a more constructive reassessment of current commercial law and its practices. Both aspects are crucial if the underlying debates are to have a noticeable and worthwhile impact on legal developments. Early drafts of these essays were first dis- cussed at a two-day round-table seminar held at the LSE in November 2002. That early face-to-face debate was merely a preliminary step in exploring these issues. The published collection will take the ideas to a wider audi- ence. This strategy is becoming increasingly common, although the breadth of the agenda behind this collection is novel. I.

It could hardly be otherwise for two island nations that share a language, a currency, and a border. Yet, as the collection under review shows,

    Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2004 ‘Private Facts’: Is Naomi Campbell a Good Model? * Raymond Wacks Abstract This article analyses the implications of the Naomi Campbell case for the protection of privacy and the long gestation process of a common law privacy tort. DOI: 10.2966/scrip.010304.420 © Raymond Wacks 2004. All Rights Reserved. Please note that this work is NOT an open access work and that all reproduction, publication and modification of the work is prohibited. * Professor of Law and Legal Theory, University of Hong Kong. (2004) 1:3 SCRIPT-ed 421 A common law privacy tort has been long in gestation. For almost four decades, the courts have danced around the problem. A number of cases involving pop stars , film stars, and other celebrities, have been pleaded, mostly unsuccessfully, in equity as breaches of confidence, and, while the relationship between this remedy and a tort of privacy, has been widely acknowledged, the highest court has only this year been presented with an opportunity to declare what the law is. In the interim, the enactment of the Data Protection Act, and especially the Human Rights Act, has served as an significant catalyst for a final reckoning. The result is, however, disappointing. The House of Lords in Naomi Campbell v MGN Limited has offered a less than clear guide on the central question of what constitutes ‘private facts’ in a case where they have been gratuitously publicised. The purpose of this brief paper is to suggest that, until this vital matter is elucidated, the future of a privacy tort of public disclosure of private facts is likely to be unsatisfactory.

  • Conceptualising Surveillance Harms in the Context of Political Protest: Privacy, Autonomy and Freedom of Assembly
    Conceptualising surveillance harms in the context of political protest: privacy, autonomy and freedom of assembly Valerie Aston Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Law September 2018 Abstract This thesis considers the human rights issues arising from the use of police surveillance of political activists on demonstrations. Such protests are routinely subject to intensive forms of visible, or ‘overt’, surveillance, including the use of dedicated ‘intelligence gathering’ teams to monitor, photograph and film participants. The courts – both domestic and in Strasbourg - have generally taken the view that such measures will not, in themselves, amount to an interference with a person’s right to privacy or their right to freedom of assembly. This thesis takes issue with this approach and offers a new, and more developed conceptualisation of the harms to privacy and to assembly rights arising from police surveillance activities. The thesis draws on interviews with around 30 individuals, each of whom have been subjected to police surveillance in the context of political protest. Testimony from interviewees demonstrates a complex matrix of harms arising from overt surveillance practices which have not been adequately recognised within the human rights framework, nor have been adequately regulated by statute or common law. The thesis suggests a new conceptualisation of surveillance harms, which acknowledges the capacity of surveillance to result in a loss of autonomy, identity and integrity; and also to disrupt and obstruct the mobilisation processes which make protest possible. Harms must be recognised, it is argued, as arising both within the framework of privacy, and the right to freedom of assembly.

  • Agents Behaving Badly
    Agents Behaving Badly Sarah Worthington* Current Legal Issues Seminar, Queensland Supreme Court, 10 September 2015 Chief Justice, Judges, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen. A. Introduction – macro and micro problems in corporate attribution My talk tonight is on agents – in particular, agents behaving badly. I’ve chosen this topic because of its importance. Modern business is routinely transacted by agents. That is inevitably so when the transaction involves a company. The relevant legal rules on attribution and agency are thus an indispensable element of modern commerce. They are well established, well used and, one might expect, well settled. It might then seem preposterous to suggest that in England these rules on corporate contracting are descending into an unholy muddle. But that is the thesis of my lecture tonight. I know this talk would be controversial if presented in the UK. Perhaps it will be so here. And yet I don’t think I’m about to say anything which deviates very much from what I was taught – or what I thought I was taught (I do appreciate the difference) – as an undergraduate at the University of Queensland some time ago. These modern English problems are neither trifling nor tangential. I’ve divided my lecture in two, looking at both macro and micro issues. First, at the macro level there are problems with the very foundations of attribution in corporate law.1 The key attribution question is easy: whose acts will count as the acts of the company?2 But arriving at the right answer is sometimes extraordinarily difficult. This is especially so when the * Downing Professor of the Laws of England, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Trinity College.

Although the tort was designed principally with new technologies in mind, there has been vociferous concern that such a tort might unduly inhibit press freedom.
