Menon When my good friend, Dr. J.H. – Joe to me – Hulse spoke to me over the telephone, requesting a Foreword for a book that he was writing on "Sustainable Development at Risk: Ignoring the Past", I readily agreed for many reasons. First and foremost, Joe and I have known each other for a long time; he has been a very good friend; and I have known him as a serious person, honest to his conscience, who thinks deeply. The second and equally important reason is that I regard an understanding of sustainable development as the overwhelming question that we face today. This phrase comes from T.S. Eliot's Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. in which he writes: "To lead you to an overwhelming question ... Oh, do not ask, 'What is it?' Let us go and make our visit." That visit would be a study of this very interesting book by Joe Hulse. Dr. Hulse is a scientist, who has worked in industry, and with aid agencies, primarily in the promotion of research and development. His area of expertise is the life sciences, particularly relating to food, agriculture and agribusiness. He has frequently visited India and other developing countries. He was chairman of a committee (CASAFA) of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), when I was its president. This committee dealt with the application of science on an interdisciplinary basis in the area of food and agriculture, and particularly with reference to the developing countries. Dr. Hulse has lived in a developed country, Canada; and there is a great deal of reference to Canada in the book, and to its distinguished Prime Minister Lester Pearson, who was indeed one of the great leaders of the world. At the same time, Dr Hulse has great empathy with the developing countries and the poor. This partly arises from the many visits he has paid to India, and this empathy comes through in the book. There are also many references to the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), an organisation founded by Prime Minister Pearson and where Dr Hulse worked as a senior scientist from 1970 to 1988. As a former member of the Board of Governors, I am delighted that IDRC will co-publish this book. The book covers a wide range of topics relating to sustainable development. I found it truly educative; as well as being easy to read and holding ones interest. It contains unusual nuggets of information in every chapter. What sets the book apart is that there is, throughout its pages, in Joe's own words, a "philological and philosophical discussion of the etymological origins and changing concepts" of the different areas that he has dealt with. There are also accounts of the history of civilisation, tracing how we got where we are. The book represents the work of a true scholar and not of a technician. Particularly over the past half-century, sustainable development has become a powerfully appealing idea. It has, of course, become most popular as jargon, following its usage by the World Commission on Environment and Development chaired by Dr. Gro. Harlem Brundtland, which published its well-known report in 1987 on Our Common Future. It is interesting that, in an ancient Indian religious writing over 2,000 years ago, it is stated: "All in this manifested world, consisting

  • The Last Visitation of the Plague in Sweden: the Case of Bräkne-Hoby, Blekinge in 1710-11
    The last visitation of the plague in Sweden: the case of Bräkne-Hoby, Blekinge in 1710-11 By ROGER SCHOFIELD SUMMARY: In an earlier study of the plague in Colyton, Devon the household distribution of deaths was studied to see whether this provided a method of the identifying the causative disease. In this article, a known epidemic of plague in the Swedish parish of Bräkne-Hoby was studied as a means of testing out the generality of the household distribution of deaths. It was discovered that, in this case, the very heavy mortality was due to two radically different means of spreading the disease, initially the classic bubonic one through the rat flea, and latterly, and somewhat surprisingly, the pneumonic one, through the infection of the inhabitants by their own friends and neighbours. One of the difficulties in studying epidemics in the past is that the disease behind the epidemic is often not identified as such in the burial register.1 Although there are certain pointers to the nature of disease, such as its seasonality, these are in general far from conclusive. Accordingly in a study that I made of the epidemic in Colyton, Devon in 1645-6, I decided to investigate the patterns of deaths within the household, just in case this gave additional information on the nature of the infection.2 One method of achieving this is through a ‘family reconstitution’ of the parish register, but for a parish of the size of Bräkne-Hoby, about 2900 inhabitants in 1749; this is a difficult and extremely laborious undertaking.3 In later epidemics, in this part of Sweden, it is possible to avoid this, by also using two alternative sources, a ‘husförhörslängd’, which is a household examination book, and the tables known as the ‘statistiska tabeller’, which contain an aggregate analysis of the parish registers.

  • Personal Injury Law Reform: a Proposed First Step
    Personal Injury Law Reform: a Proposed First Step by Stephen D. Sugarman* L Introduction and overview As a system for compensating victims, personal injury law in Britain is badly failing. First, large numbers of accident victims receive nothing from the tort system. Second, even when it does provide compensation, tort law typically takes far too long and costs entirely too much to do so. This indictment of personal injuries law has been well understood for some time. Professor Terrence Ison's powerful critique, titled "The Forensic Lottery," was published in 1967. Ison's criticisms were renewed and further documented both by the Report of the Pearson Commission' in 1978 and more recently by Donald Harris and his colleagues at Oxford's Centre for Socio-Legal Studies in "Compensa- tion and Support for Illness and Injury" (1984). Each of these reviews has proposed replacing some or all of personal injury law with a new system of victim compensation that would not depend upon fault and would be paid both promptly and largely without the involvement of lawyers. Yet no major reform of British tort law has occurred. Perhaps concluding that the introduction of a new compensation scheme, whatever its merits, is simply politically infeasible in the near future, the Lord Chancellor recently launched a new effort termed the Civil Justice Review, and the improvement of personal injuries litigation in England and Wales has been at the heart of its mission. Yet the scope of the Review extends only to reforms in jurisdiction, procedure and court administration.2 To advise him in connection with the Review, the Lord Chancellor created an independent committee, chaired by Sir Maurice Hodgson, and in February 1986 a Consultation Paper on personal injuries litigation was issued.

  • Damages Surprisingly Victims?
    10 Damages Personal Injury [10.10] What remedy does (and should) the legal system provide to tort victims? Although they may occasionally obtain injunctions intended to prevent ongoing harm, almost all successful tort claimants obtain money damages.’ A surprisingly large number of difficult and contested issues arise, however, in determining just how much money should be awarded. This chapter explores those issues. Part of the problem is factual uncertainty, especially, but not only, with respect to losses that will occur in the future, that is, after the trial or settlement of the case. But, in addition, there are fundamental legal questions at issue that centrally arise from disputes about the underlying reasons for awarding tort damages in the first place; whether tort law is ultimately compensatory, a deterrent or concerned with corrective justice is discussed in Chapter 1. The focus of this chapter will be on damages for bodily injury (and death). The material is organised in this way. First, the question of whether damages should be paid in a lump sum or periodically is addressed. Secondly, consideration is given to the strength of the proof plaintiffs must offer in order successfully to claim their damages. 2 So, The focus then shifts to the specific types of recoveries that are allowed. thirdly, considerable attention is given to what are typically termed pecuniary losses — (a) expenses incurred (or to be incurred) because of the harm the tortfeasor has imposed on the victim and (b) the victim’s lost income or lost earning power. Fourthly, compensatory awards for non-pecuniary losses (for example, pain and suffering) are explored.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

  • Compensation for Drug Injury
    1674 BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL 22-29 DECEMBER 1979 second possibility would be to extend the law of contract so that an injured person could sue the manufacturer direct, but this would effect- Br Med J: first published as 10.1136/bmj.2.6205.1674 on 22 December 1979. Downloaded from ively be the same as introducing strict liability in tort. The third option of reversing the burden of proof in actions in tort would make little difference, the Commission thought. Thus the Pearson Commission, in common with the Compensation for drug injury Law Commission, the EEC, and the Council of Europe, came down in favour of introducing strict liability in tort for injury resulting from any product, including drugs. Strict liability, as defined by the commission, does not require the plaintiff to prove that the defendant was negligent and (in contrast with liability in negligence with reversed burden of proof) does not exempt the defendant if he proves simply that he was not negligent. The commission gave five reasons for favouring the introduction of strict liability. Firstly, it recognised that this was clearly the European trend. Secondly, it seemed right to extend the benefits now available to a pur- chaser under the law of contract to all con- sumers. Thirdly, a producer should be responsible in the fullest sense for his product and be willing to accept any claim for com- pensation resulting from damage just as he would accept praise for his product. Fourthly, the Commission hoped standards of safety would be raised. Fifthly, it thought that the producers were much better placed than consumers to arrange insurance for unforeseen injury.

  • Abolishing Personal Injuries Law - a Project
    Personal Injuries Bar Association Annual Lecture, London Abolishing Personal Injuries Law - A project Lord Sumption, Justice of The Supreme Court 16 November 2017 It is now exactly twenty years since Patrick Atiyah published The Damages Lottery, one of the most eloquent polemics ever to be directed against a firmly entrenched principle of law. Professor Atiyah was concerned with the law of negligence generally. But his book has generally been treated as an attack on personal injuries law and its practitioners. Most of his arguments and all of his solutions were directed against the concept of fault-based liability for personal injury. He proposed to abolish liability in tort for causing personal injury. In the case of road accidents, then as now by far the largest single source of personal injury claims, the right to sue for negligence would be replaced a system of compulsory, no fault, first-party insurance. In the case of other sources of personal injury, there would be no alternative source of provision. Atiyah proposed to encourage people to buy first-party insurance, but to leave it, in the final analysis, up to them. Atiyah’s criticisms had never previously been advanced with such rhetorical force. But they were not new. Many of them had appeared in his textbook Accidents, Compensation and the Law, the first edition of which appeared in 1970. A year before that, the Woodhouse Committee in New Zealand had proposed to replace the right to sue with a system of state-funded social provision. These recommendations were accepted by the New Zealand government and enacted in the Accident Compensation Act 1972.

  • Tort Liability and Alternative Approaches to Compensation: Summary of a Comparative Survey of Foreign Systems at Work
    The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance, 15 (No. 56, July 1990), 344-352 Tort Liability and Alternative Approaches to Compensation: Summary of a Comparative Survey of Foreign Systems at Work by Werner Pfennigstorf * 1.Introduction 1.1. Purpose This report is the result of a project that has been sponsored by the All-Industry Research Advisory Council (AIRAC) and the principal purposes of which are: - To advance the current discussion on the performance and potential reform of the American tort liability system; - To provide a broader perspective of available options and alternative approaches; - To deepen the understanding of competing values and public policy goals; - To contribute to a rational resolution of policy conflicts; - By providing up-to-date information on accident compensation systems of other coun- tries with comparable social and economic conditions, focusing on their practical operation, interaction, cost, and effectiveness. 1.2. Scope (a) The purposes just set forth call for more, and at the same time for less, than just an explanation of the rules of tort law of other countries. Less than exhaustive treatment is called for to avoid being drowned by detail. American lawyers are used to working with many different and sometimes contradictory rules in their 50-odd jurisdictions, which are at least united by a common language, national unity, common institutions, and a common heritage of basic values and legal principles. In comparison, the differences among the rules and practices of foreign countries are much greater, and they tend to be compounded by different languages and different cultural traditions. A good impression of that variety in theory and practice is provided by the two fat volumes that the International Encyclo- pedia of Comparative Law has devoted to Torts, written by some of the best legal minds of the world, with an abundance of references and ideas.' * The following are the Introduction and Executive Summary of a research report prepared for the All-Industry Research Advisory Council.
