Описание: How do you protect rights without a Bill of Rights? Australia does not have a national Bill or charter of rights and looks further away than ever from adopting one. But it does have a range of individual elements sourced in common law, statute and the Constitution which, though unsystematic, do provide Australians with some meaningful rights protection. This book outlines and explains the unique human rights journey of Australia. It moves beyond the criticisms long made of the Australian position - that its 'formalism', 'legalism' and 'exceptionalism' compromise its capacity for rights protection - to consider how the many elements of its novel legal structure operate. This book analyses the interlocking legal framework for the protection of rights in Australia. A key theme of the book is that the many different elements of a fragmented scheme can add up to something significant, albeit with significant gaps and flaws like any other legal rights protection framework. The book shows how the jumbled influences of a common law heritage, a written constitution, differing paths taken by jurisdictions within a single federal state, statutory and common law innovations and a strong dose of comparative legal influences have led to the unique patchwork of rights protection in Australia. It will provide valuable reading for all those researching in human rights, constitutional and comparative law.

Описание:

The principle of legal certainty is of fundamental importance for law and society: it has been vital in stabilising normative expectations and in providing a framework for social interaction, as well as defining the scope of individual freedom and political power. Even though it has not always been fully realised, legal certainty has also functioned as a normative ideal that has structured legal debates, both at the national and transnational level.
This book presents research from a range of substantive areas regarding the meaning, possibility and desirability of legal certainty in the context of a rapidly changing global society. It aims to address these issues by bringing together scholars from various jurisdictions in order to examine changes in the shifting meaning of legal certainty in a comparative and transnational context. In particular, the book explores some of the tensions that now exist between the conventional expectation of legal certainty and the various challenges associated with regulating highly complex, late modern economies and societies.
The book will be of interest to lawyers concerned with understanding the transformation of core rule of law values in the context of contemporary social change, as well as to political scientists and social theorists.

Описание: This edited collection brings together research from a range of substantive areas of law that share a common interest in understanding the multi-layered challenges of defining legal certainty in the context of legal and political modernity. The principle of legal certainty-the view that the law must be sufficiently certain to provide those subject to legal norms with the resources to regulate their own conduct and to provide a layer of protection against the arbitrary use of public power-has functioned as a fundamental rule of law value and as a normative ideal that has structured legal debates, both at the national and international level. In recent years, however, legal certainty has come under renewed pressure from a number of historically new and competing demands that are made of law: for example, the expectation that the law be more responsive to a social environment characterized by rapid economic and technological change; or the marked trend, across most major jurisdictions, towards increasing the degree and scope of discretion afforded to regulators in the fields of business and market regulation-the so-called 'responsive regulation'; or the challenges posed by indices, such as the World Bank's Doing Business Report and the Index of Legal Certainty, which apply metric tools to rank a country's performance with the ultimate aim to reduce the 'regulatory burden' of doing business, and to prove the virtues of their respective models. These, and other, developments raise difficult, but interesting, questions regarding the meaning, possibility and desirability of legal certainty in the context of a rapidly changing global society. This book aims to address these issues by bringing together scholars from various jurisdictions to examine changes in the shifting meaning of legal certainty.The book will be of interest both to lawyers and academics interested in understanding the transformation of core rule of law values in the context of contemporary social change, as well as political scientists and social theorists.

Описание: This book aims to spur a debate about the role of methodology in legal scholarship and legal education, since there appears to be a growing divide between legal practice and academic legal writing on the one hand and between traditional normative scholarship and approaches that emphasize a law in context approach.

Описание: This book provides a critical socio-legal study that brings together the latest scholarly advances on corporate social responsibility, and, at the same time, addresses the pressing issue of corporate liability for harmful acts across the supply and production chains.

Corporations have seldom been held responsible and virtually never liable for the acts of their subsidiaries and subcontractors. Actors as different as workers, investors, individual consumers, and shareholder activists claim that corporations should accept greater responsibility for communities and environments affected by their activities.

The book argues that a global value chain's head corporations remain immune to any liability because of the 'economically dependent-legally independent' relationships between core corporations and their periphery suppliers and subcontractors. To tackle this problem, globally, the author acknowledges that 'we' as a society need to reduce the economic dependence as described above - which is far too excessive - by ensuring a level playing field both economically and socially. More concretely, she argues that in order to realise transnational corporate liability, 'we' as lawyers need to find a way (or ways) to establish legally effective relationships between head corporations and their economically dependent entities.

Readers of this book will be able to export the concept of corporate social liability, developed in the context of value chains, and apply it to other contexts involving corporate activities where they need to tackle unrestrained corporate freedom and make global businesses responsible and socially useful.
