Punishment and Private Law cover

In this book lawyers from across the spectrum of the law (contract, tort, restitution) explore how private law punishes wrong doing.

Does private law punish? This collection answers this complex but compelling question. Lawyers from across the spectrum of the law (contract, tort, restitution) explore exactly how it punishes wrong doing. These leading voices ask whether that punishment is effective and what its societal role might be. Taking the discussion out of the technical and into a broader realms of a wider purpose, it is both compelling and thought-provoking.

The book … is filled with brilliant insights and stimulating points. -- Giuseppe Portonera * European Review of Private Law *
The book is a great contribution to the literature on private law remedies and will no doubt be read by everyone with an interest in the field. -- Kate de Contreras, King’s College London * Journal of Professional Negligence *
