Euthanasia and Law in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is the only country in the world in which euthanasia, under narrow-defined circumstances, is legally permissible. Considerable attention has been paid over a number of years to the problem of regulating it and information has been systematically collected concerning actual practice. Therefore the Dutch experience is of interest not only to the Dutch, but to anyone who is considering wether or not to make euthanasia a legal practice. This book is written for a reader without specific knowledge of law. The central focus of the book is on Dutch law pertaining to euthanansia, but it also considers the moral and legal principles that have played a role in the Dutch debate, the available evidence bearing on actual practice and on the effectiveness of legal control. It ends with some reflections on the problem of the 'slippery slope' and the question whether the Dutch experience is 'exportable'. It includes translations of the relevant legislation (including proposed reforms) and of three leading cases.

A Practical Guide to the Law of Medical Treatment Decisions - Second Edition
Decisions about medical treatment can be about life and death, such as withdrawal of treatment or (not) providing CPR. Or about quality of life, liberty and independence, which can be just as important. But the legal (and ethical) framework around these decisions is often misunderstood, leading to distress and disputes at the very worst of times. We have seen this in a few very high-profile cases, but there will have been untold others in private.Should a patient always get what they want, or does "doctor know best"? When a patient cannot make a decision for themselves, who gets to decide, and how should these decisions be made? What is the role of so-called "next of kin" (and did you know that there's actually no such thing)? Can parents insist on treatment for a baby when doctors think it futile? How are disputes in this context resolved and, better yet, how are they avoided? And how can we act now to control what happens to us in future, when we may not be able to decide for ourselves?This is a practical guide to the law and how it really works, written to be accessible not only for lawyers, but also for clinicians, patients and anyone concerned about them.This second edition brings the text up to date with significant recent cases on when disputes need to go to court and the impact of delay; fluctuating capacity and anticipatory declarations; insight, executive function and the role of belief in capacity assessments; the use of covert recording of clinicians and the proper role of family in best interests decisions; gender dysphoria cases; decisions for 16-17 year olds; the role of ethics committees and a Supreme Court decision on naming / anonymising clinicians in litigation. It also includes new sections dealing with disclosure of medical records, the duty of candour and making good apologies, and the definition of death.CONTENTSContextChoices AvailableConsent - Adults Making ChoicesCapacity Part A - Able to Make This DecisionCapacity Part B - Best interests and Who DecidesChildren and ParentsCoda: Defining and Disputing DeathChapter 7 - Conflict Resolution and CourtConflict Resolution and CourtConclusions - and Taking ControlResourcesBest Practice Serious Medical Treatment Checklist (Pre-Issue)Legal Glossary
A Practical Guide to Elderly Fraud
This book exposes the common misconception that financial abuse - including theft and fraud - is inflicted by individuals or organisations at arms-length, by people largely unknown to the victim. In fact a significant amount of financial abuse is inflicted by those much closer to home, namely family members. There is clear evidence that fraud is done by family members and the problem is understated within society. While many people are likely to be cared for with integrity by family members this is not always the case. This book seeks to cover the legal issues dealing with financial abuse and to help lawyers and other experts come up with practical solutions to help the people they work with.It provides an introduction to set the scene, covers conduct of elderly fraud cases and has a chapter on undue influence of wills, challenging the executor and the removal of executors. In addition, the book has chapters on will validity and fraud, undue influence of lifetime transactions, Part 64 proceedings and covers lasting powers of attorney, court of protection and deputyship fraud. At all points the book seeks to communicate in practical terms and to encourage the reader to think about positive and accessible solutions when helping those they represent.ABOUT THE AUTHORJustin Patten is a Solicitor and mediator, accredited by the Academy of Experts and founded Human Law in 2002.

Law, Technology and Governance
This book argues that law, regulation, and technology can be understood as particular kinds of governance projects, and their credentials assessed according to an overarching concept of good governance. The book introduces the ideas of 'governance by law' and 'governance by regulation' as particular types of projects within a constellation of governance projects-some normative, some non-normative, and some hybrid. As such, legal and regulatory projects can be differentiated from each other as well as from other normative governance projects, such as ethics. They can also be contrasted with various kinds of non-normative technological projects, and more importantly, they can be compared with governance projects that are hybrids, such as rule-and-tool projects. Based on this account of governance, the limitations and imperfections of legal and regulatory governance-relative to an overarching concept of good governance-become readily apparent. Focusing on governance projects, governance problems, and governance prospects, the book thereby offers an insightful and original analysis of the current-and future-intersection of law, technology and governance. This book will be of interest to legal researchers and postgraduates in the burgeoning field of law, regulation, and technology, as well as others with more general interests in issues of law and governance.
Beyond Restitution
This open access book offers a unique perspective on the return of cultural objects by considering the aftermath of the handover processes. While calls for the repatriation of heritage have been made since the start of the decolonisation process, it is only in recent years that the debate on returning cultural objects has gained widespread prominence. This has been followed by ongoing efforts from several countries to change the legislation, adopt principles, and invest in provenance research to turn repatriation into a more proactive mechanism. The book tells the story of cultural objects that were housed in European institutions and returned to countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In addition to in-depth analysis of relevant laws and policies, each of the case studies integrates interviews with those who were directly involved in those return processes, as well as those who were impacted by them, including museum staff, government representatives and community members. The book presents previously unheard insights into past return processes, the manifold modalities that such processes have followed, and, at times, unexpected outcomes. By doing so, it offers possible lessons to be learnt for future returns. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Litigating Corporate Surveillance
This book interrogates the legality of corporate surveillance, offering a corrective approach to protecting privacy through litigation--not through legislation.Explosive revelations, from the Snowden disclosures to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, have shown us that our daily lives are embedded in a network of pervasive, panoptic surveillance designed to manipulate. This corporate surveillance network has grown to encompass and absorb the basic digital substrate of our daily lives. Received wisdom, among commentators, the press, and even legal academia, is that this is all legal: Corporate surveillance has flourished because there are no legal tools to reign in its pervasive and invasive practices. Analyzing recent developments in data privacy law in light of ever-increasing data aggregation and cybersurveillance practices by corporations and governments, this book examines the pervasive, multimodal corporate surveillance practices that now permeate both our digital and offline lives and offers a prescription for fighting back through the courts. Interweaving discussions of the statutory, common law, and constitutional frameworks that are currently being applied in legal challenges to these activities, this book considers current critiques of privacy law as conceptualized by both legal scholars and practitioners. Additionally, it makes suggestions for navigating the future of privacy rights in the face of our increasingly digitized lives.This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of corporate surveillance, digital law, and privacy law.

Energy Law and the Sustainable Development Goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals are an ambitious agenda for environmental sustainability, economic development, and social transformation. The SDGs include targets for governments, in partnership with private industry and communities, to improve access to affordable and reliable energy, reduce inequality, protect natural resources, and invest in transparent legal institutions and resilient infrastructure. Although transitioning energy systems towards a low-carbon future is a core aspect of the SDGs, the International Energy Agency anticipates that oil and gas will remain a significant component of the global energy mix for some time. Host Government Instruments are tools which governments use to grant oil and gas companies permission to develop state-owned resources. In addition to bringing substantial resources into governments, these HGIs often also include environmental commitments as well as commitments to local hiring, stakeholder engagement, and investment in economic development programmes. The different structures of HGIs and their precise terms and conditions are crucial determinants of the sustainability of oil and gas operations conducted thereunder. This book addresses how governments can use HGIs to advance the SDGs. Part I introduces the SDGs and the legal institutions and governance related to HGIs, including in relation to international energy development, international environmental treaties, the Paris Agreement, and human rights regimes. Part II examines specific provisions within HGIs and regulatory systems which relate to the oil and gas sector and SDGs. It provides case studies to illustrate approaches to HGIs and to identify opportunities for host governments and international oil and gas companies to advance the SDGs. The book concludes with a summary of recommendations regarding how host governments, in partnership with the oil and gas industry, can use HGIs to advance economic development and sustainability goals, and advances potential insights towards development of new and renewable resources.
The Struggle over Law in Europe
This book examines the role of law in Europe at a time when economic policies have become dominant not only on this continent but globally. Can law be seen as a mere infrastructure? Or does it contribute to defining the social and legal order through its own inherent rules? If the second hypothesis is true, what might these rules be, and how may they be identified? Lastly, to what extent can agreeing a definition of the role of law affect the future of Europe? With the Next Generation European Union, the EU has introduced an unprecedented investment plan for economic recovery and resilience. In doing so, it has become the most important financial intermediary on the continent. But is this simply the prelude to a European economic and financial revival, or does it also aim to strengthen the European legal order in social, political, and constitutional terms? This book argues that the role of law in Europe should be to achieve a balanced relationship between freedom and solidarity; encouraging economic competition, but also social cohesion. Analyzing the role of law in the project of European integration, it maintains that law should be more than an infrastructure for finance and economics, showing how it can act as a guide and a binding force to achieve a more balanced relationship between economics, politics, and law. This book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of public law, European law, law and economics, the philosophy of law, legal history, political theory, and political science, as well as others concerned with the future of European integration.
India and Investor-State Dispute Settlement
Prabhash Ranjan explores the two competing narratives of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) and focuses on the six ISDS cases India lost. On the one hand, ISDS is chastised for affronting the State's sovereign regulatory power - the Philip Morris narrative. On the other hand, ISDS allows investors to hold States accountable for abuse of public power - the Yukos narrative. This book argues that India's ISDS story resembles the Yukos narrative.With a focus on six case studies, this book examines the reasons that led to foreign investors suing India and the following developments. These ISDS claims are divided into four categories: a case arising from judicial actions, claims brought because of the cancellation of a contract to lease spectrum, conflicts resulting from the imposition of retroactive taxes, and disputes arising from the actions of sub-national governments. Based on India's recent treaty practice, the book also contends that India is de-legalizing and de-judicializing international investment law. By telling India's ISDS story, the book drives home the point that rectifying the ISDS system's flaws requires both narratives' centrality. Excessive focus on the Philip Morris narrative will replace the existing imbalances with a new one where the scale tilts towards the States to the detriment of foreign investment.This is a useful reference for scholars and practitioners interested in ISDS and its implications for India.
Property Rights in Outer Space
This book explores the role of private mining rights in the utopian imaginary of space colonisation. It presents a transdisciplinary account of the new and evolving legislative frameworks that have been established in anticipation of commercial exploitation of the mineral resources of the off-world frontier. Written in an engaging style, the book investigates a novel case study in the history of capitalism and 'the commons': the emergence of a nascent space mining industry, undergirded by a contentious legislative framework. In 2015, the US passed laws that would recognise the claims of US corporations to own and sell space resources. This unilateral act of pre-emptive law-making would appear to contravene the terms of the UN Outer Space Treaty (1967), which declared that the exploration and use of outer space should be 'for the benefit of all mankind' and 'not subject to national appropriation'.Using this central dynamic between privately held mining rights and outer space as a 'global commons', Matthew Johnson constructs an historical sociology of space mining - from the deep historical roots of common and private property to the contemporary networks of neoliberalism that have engaged with the commercialisation of space activity. The anticipatory expansion of private property claims beyond the Earth both resonates with and problematises the 'terrain' of political history, such as the tensions between states and markets, public law and private power, 'the commons' and exclusive property. The emerging cosmopolitics of off-world private property mirrors (and is often explicitly embedded within) neoliberal geopolitics, prompting urgent questions about how we can reaffirm principles of democracy and 'common heritage' in the international laws of Earth and space. This book is compelling reading for anyone interested in the social study of space, law, economics, technology, politics and property rights.
Compensating Landowners in the Vicinity of Airports
The purpose of this book is to consider the neighbour conflict arising between airports and neighbouring owners of land, particularly with residential uses, as well as to assess the existing solutions applied to manage or resolve that conflict. The book explains why the neighbour conflict between the airport and landowners is of a particular kind and what legal instruments are applied to address it in an attempt to balance the interests of opposing parties. Readers will develop an understanding of how the law operates when damage is caused by a legal act of the government and what the limits of compensable loss are. In addition, the reader will discover the economic foundations of possible solutions and why not all market losses are legally compensable. Key features of this book include: a consideration of key legal concepts such as neighbour law, nuisance, protection of property, land use restrictions, liability, and compensation to inform a unique analysis of neighbour law in the context of conflict between airports and neighbouring landowners; practical guidance on an airport's legal liability towards neighbouring landowners; a comparative analysis of airport's liability, compensation claims, their scope and economic effects; a comparative overview of planning and environmental solutions applied in a variety of jurisdictions; a discussion of valuation methods and challenges when loss of property value is the measure of compensation. The Author's intention is to promote conscious and civil relations among market participants, as opposed to opportunistic and speculative behaviour. This book is important reading for lawyers, academics, PhD students and postgraduate students dealing with land use regulations, environmental law, compulsory purchase, eminent domain and expropriation issues, compensation for property restrictions, as well as with aviation law and legal aspects of airport operations.
