Oxford Studies in Private Law Theory is a biennial forum for some of the best new work in private law theory by scholars from around the world. The essays range widely over issues in general private law theory as well as specific fields, including the theoretical analysis of tort law, property law, contract law, fiduciary law, trust law, remedies and restitution, and the law of equity. OSPLT is essential reading for academic lawyers, philosophers, political scientists, economists, and historians who wish to keep up with the latest developments in the flourishing field of private law theory.
Volume III explores a diverse array of topics, including the social function of property in a digital society, corrective justice beyond private law, knowledge gaps in contract law, and the underlying conceptions of fiduciary law, as well as broader questions about the role and responsibility of private law in relation to sustainability and the need for greater coherence in legal reasoning across legal systems.
