James Penner: The Property-Contract Interface, Gebunden

Klappentext

This collection of essays brings together leading experts with emerging scholars from different common law jurisdictions to deal with foundational questions about the relationship between property and contract. The volume is structured in five parts: forms of property; contract and conveyance; institutions; structure of private law; and theories of contract.

Some essays focus in on specific institutions along the property contract interface, including bailments, leases, security interests, and trusts, as well as the role of contract in property transfer. Others use the lens of property and contract to analyse debt, money, and choses in action. Overall, the essays exemplify the vigour of scholarship in this area and point to further directions for deepening our understanding of the property-contract interface.
