Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. There are legal textbooks, and then there are books whose very titles sound as though they should come with a sternly worded letter from a Chancery judge and a complimentary headache. Enrichment and Restitution in New Zealand proudly occupies that distinguished category. It is the sort of volume that could empty a noisy room merely by being placed on the table, yet for lawyers, academics and those with an inexplicable fondness for equitable remedies, this is compelling stuff. Published in 2000 by Hart Publishing and written by Ross B. Grantham and Charles E. F. Rickett, this substantial work explores one of the law?s more fascinating questions: when somebody ends up with a benefit they ought not to have, who gets it back, why, and by what gloriously complicated legal route? It turns out that answering what appears to be a simple question can require hundreds of pages, decades of judicial thought, and enough footnotes to keep several generations of postgraduate students gainfully occupied. The irony, of course, is that the concept itself is wonderfully straightforward. If someone is unjustly enriched, restitution should restore the balance. Human beings, however, have demonstrated a remarkable talent for making almost anything astonishingly complicated once contracts, property rights, trusts, equity, precedent and several determined barristers become involved. What begins as "that?s not fair" soon develops into a beautifully intricate legal landscape where every answer produces three further questions and at least one memorable dissenting judgment. Although centred on New Zealand law, the discussion reaches far beyond its shores. Much of the jurisprudence draws upon English common law and wider Commonwealth developments, making the book valuable to comparative lawyers and anyone interested in how legal systems wrestle with remarkably similar problems while arriving at subtly different conclusions. It is a reminder that justice may wear different wigs depending on the jurisdiction, but it usually arrives carrying an armful of case reports. This is emphatically not beach reading unless your preferred seaside activity involves annotating margin notes while everyone else is building sandcastles. Yet there is something quietly satisfying about a book that assumes its reader is perfectly willing to spend an afternoon considering whether a payment made by mistake should give rise to a personal remedy, a proprietary claim, or an entirely new philosophical crisis. Few authors possess the confidence to expect that level of commitment from their audience, and fewer readers are brave enough to oblige. Our copy is in Near Fine condition, meaning it has survived its previous legal adventures remarkably well. The pages remain crisp, the binding is strong, and there is every chance it has spent far more time residing respectfully on a library shelf than being waved dramatically across a courtroom while someone declared, "My learned friend has entirely misunderstood restitution." As always, Crappy Old Books delights in rescuing books that deserve another life. This one may not inspire spontaneous laughter, reckless adventure or interpretive dance, but it will reward the curious legal mind with intelligence, precision and enough carefully reasoned argument to remind you that civilisation is held together not merely by laws, but by an extraordinary number of people arguing about what those laws actually mean.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Consumer protection law in the age of globalisation poses new challenges for policy-makers. This book highlights the difficulties of framing regulatory responses to the problem of consumers' access to justice in the new international economy. The growth of international consumer transactions in the wake of technological change and the globalisation of markets suggests that governments can no longer develop consumer protection law in isolation from the international legal arena. Leading scholars consider the broader theme of access to justice from socio-legal, law and economics perspectives. Topics include standard form contracts, the legal challenges posed by mass infections (such as mad-cow disease and CJD), ombudsman schemes, class actions, alternative dispute resolution, consumer bankruptcy, conflict of laws, and cross-border transactions. This book demonstrates that advancing and achieving access to justice for consumers proves to be a challenging, and sometimes elusive, task.…

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition. Complete two-volume set. This monumental, two-volume work serves as the definitive visual companion to Kenneth Mackenzie's landmark monograph on the Cariceae (sedges) originally published in Volume 18 of the North American Flora. Upon his passing, Mackenzie bequeathed his extensive collection of botanical drawings, alongside a dedicated publication fund, to the New York Botanical Garden to ensure this work would see the light of day. This beautifully produced 1940 edition fulfills the exact terms of that historic bequest. Volume I features Plates 1 through 269. Volume II features Plates 270 through 539. This masterwork contains all of the exquisite botanical illustrations prepared during Mackenzie's lifetime, plus four final drawings completed posthumously, by artist Harry Charles Creutzburg. The descriptive diagnostic text directly mirrors the North American Flora and is conveniently printed on the versos (the left-hand pages) directly facing their corresponding full-page plates for seamless reference. Original green library-style buckram cloth, stamped with gilt on spines. Large Folio (measuring approximately 35 x 29 cm / 13.8 x 11.4 inches). Nearly fine. Harry Charles Creutzburg (illustrator).…
