  • Visiting Scholars: Further Information Updated October 2017
    1 Visiting Scholars: Further information Updated October 2017 Introduction Durham Law School welcomes applications to its Visiting Scholars Programme. The School is widely- acknowledged to be one of the leading Law Schools in the UK and is a recognised centre of international excellence in legal scholarship and research. It has particular research strengths in the following areas: human rights; commercial law; criminal law and justice; European Union law; gender and legal theory; medical law and bioethics as supported by the numerous research centres and groups. Visiting Scholars will be based at Durham for a period from a week to a year. We give preference to applications for visits of up to three months, though we will consider applications for longer stays in order to allow Scholars to engage in research with academics working in related fields. Scholars are expected to pursue a specific research project while within the School and both to deliver and participate in research seminars. The School does not provide financial support for travel, accommodation or subsistence. Scholars are responsible for ensuring that they have the correct travel documentation, including visas. Admissions Because of the large number of applications we receive each year, Durham Law School is unable to accommodate all those who express interest in visiting for research purposes. Prospective visiting scholars must identify a possible sponsor in his / her area of research and contact them prior to submitting an application to be a visiting scholar at the Law School. Once that sponsor has been identified, applications should ask the sponsor for a brief statement of support.

  • Developing a Relational Law of Contracts: Striking a Balance Between Abstraction and Contextualism
    Legal Studies (2021), 41, 177–193 doi:10.1017/lst.2020.23 RESEARCH ARTICLE Developing a relational law of contracts: striking a balance between abstraction and contextualism Zoe Gounari*† Durham Law School, Durham University, Durham, UK *Author email: [email protected] (Accepted 20 May 2020) Abstract Relational contract theory holds that the interpretation of a contract must take full account of the context and surrounding circumstances of the parties’ bargain so as to give effect to their respective intentions. This paper argues that if a relational treatment of contracts is to be institutionalised, in the sense of being utilised in a contract dispute to determine and give effect to the parties’ intentions, then it must operate at an abstract level. That is to say, rather than using relevant context to determine what the actual parties intended in the circumstances at hand, the contextualist enquiry should ascertain the relevant con- text by reference to what the parties would have agreed to in the circumstances, had they properly reflected on what their self-interest requires. I discuss the merits of this proposition by reference to a number of appellate judgments, which already endorse contextualism as a response to contractual ambiguity, and I ultimately apply it to the Supreme Court’s judgment in Rainy Sky SA v Kookmin Bank. Keywords: relational contracts; contract theory; contract interpretation Introduction The ‘relational contract’ recently became the basis for controversy in English contract law, when Lord Leggatt, sitting at first instance, relied on this concept to justify implying a duty of good faith into an oral contract between two highly sophisticated parties.1 The contract concerned a joint venture formed between an investor and an hotelier for the purpose of buying and developing a number of luxury hotels in Greece.

That change has been referred to as a humanisation of international law. This thesis contributes to that area of study by offering an account of the deep level changes to the foundations of the international legal system, which it argues are both driving and are recursively driven by changes in substantive international law. It finds the explanation for these changes in the idea of the self-determination of the individual, and it argues that this concept has now become a structural principle (a term borrowed from Giddens, 1984) of the international legal system.

  • Working Paper 2 2016
    Neo-FEDERALISM Working Paper Series 02/2016 Speaking the State: Collective Personality, Legal Subjecthood and the Creation of States in International Law Tom Sparks Abstract States, their nature, and their creation, have rightly been the subjects of much study in recent years. States are the primary actors of the international legal system, and are its authors. In their system-compliant, system-constitutive and extra-legal actions they exercise immense power, with the ability vastly to change the conditions of life for individuals both within and outside their territories. Questions surrounding whether entities of various kinds qualify as “States” include some of international law’s bitterest disputes – such as the status of Kosovo, Nagorno-Karabakh, and SADR – as well as some of its most intriguing questions – such as the correct status to be accorded to the European Union, multinational corporations, and “failed States”. Yet it is far from clear that States, as collective entities, are truly capable of exercising legal personality at all. This article will focus on the question of whether States are capable of exercising international personhood for the purposes of subjecthood. In the course of answering that question a secondary question will also be explored: how States are created. Insight into these questions can be gained from sociology and linguistics. States, it is argued, are social constructions, created in their social reality by declarations – linguistic acts with a double (world-word and word-world) direction of fit. As such, it is argued that the creation of plenary statehood is regulated primarily by language rules, rather than legal norms.
