1. Frustration v Imprévision, Why Frustration is so 'Frustrating': The Lack of Flexibility in the English Doctrine's Legal Consequence.
PMID:日期:2023-05-27The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic restrictions have placed many contractual parties under great strain to honour their agreements as contracts have become commercially impracticable and excessively onerous. This article explores the legal position in England, France and the Middle East under the doctrine of impossibility, impracticability and unforeseen circumstances. Strongly rooted in contractual autonomy and commercial certainty, this article argues that frustration in English common law is not sufficiently broad because the consequence (automatic discharge) is too rigid and does not allow a renegotiation of obligations. French civil law is more accommodating but only formally adopted in civil law in 2016, meaning it lacks traction. However, Middle Eastern civil law countries accept the doctrine as an integral part of their law and theory of justice, allowing obligations to be rebalanced in a more flexible manner. The English legal system should consider the advantages of a similar reform.

2. Odious Debt.
PMID:日期:2023-02-25Public international law does not encompass external sovereign debt. In particular, the current status of 'odious debt', which may also be termed 'illegitimate debt', in international law epitomizes the weakness of international law with respect to external sovereign debt. Odious debt is subject to politics and ad hoc relations on the international stage. By and large, the law engages with external sovereign debt on the national level-e.g., via the national laws and the national courts of financial centers. In the event of a dispute regarding external sovereign debt, it is very rare that international law or international adjudication deal with external sovereign debt.

3. How do Law Students Develop Commercial Awareness? Listening to the Student Voice on the Roles of the Law School and the Law Student in Developing Commercial Awareness.
PMID:日期:2023-01-28This article provides an authentic, student-centred account of how law students develop their commercial awareness on their journey to graduate employment. Drawing on data collected from a two year research study involving law students going through the graduate interview process, this article presents the first detailed empirical findings on how, when and why law students develop their commercial awareness. This data is important because law students have a wide range of available career options and commercial awareness is required across a range of graduate professions, including the legal sector. The findings of this study indicate that the law school played a part in developing law students' commercial awareness but that its role was limited due to a lack of explicit guidance on what commercial awareness meant and how teaching and learning activities supported development. Students identified development much more frequently and explicitly through their own independent developmental activities. As well as providing valuable insight into law student perceptions of the role of the law school and the law student in developing commercial awareness, this article makes recommendations for legal educators on how to support students in developing their commercial awareness.

4. Construing Climate Change Adaptation as Global Public Good Under International Law: Problems and Prospects.
PMID:日期:2022-12-05Article 7 of the Paris Agreement recognizes that adaptation is a 'global challenge faced by all with local, regional and international dimensions.' It further establishes the 'global goal on adaptation focusing on enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change, with a view to contributing to sustainable development.' However, the lack of international cooperation between the global north and global south challenge the formulation and implementation of climate change adaptation strategies. This paper brings in the concept of global public goods (GPGs) to the lexicon of climate adaptation and highlights that adverse impacts of climate change such as climate-induced global migration are global public bad. Hence, the measures taken to respond to such impacts, which consequently enhance the resilience of affected countries, make them more adaptive to those adverse impacts, and deliver common values of universal character, should be construed as the global public good. The paper argues that that the idea of GPGs with its universality offers a normative and practical foundation for understanding, addressing, and strengthening the international community's climate adaptation actions and cooperation.

5. Industry-Led Standards, Relational Contracts and Good Faith: Are the UK and Australia Setting the Pace in (Construction) Contract Law?
PMID:日期:2022-07-20The law of contract is changing. "Good faith" and "relational contracts" are used by parties more than ever before in commercial disputes. Yet, their definition and what it really means to act in good faith are still unsettled in the UK and Australia, reducing the (judicial and doctrinal) utility and impact of such conceptual tools. In contrast, the construction industry is trying to move forward in policy terms. Over the last 30 years, industry-led initiatives have been working to improve collaboration. In the UK and Australia, new collaborative frameworks contain express provisions asking parties to act with mutual trust and cooperation among other collaborative schemes. Examination of the judicial approach and industry initiatives demonstrates that there is - underpinning both - a approach (even if that is yet to be fully recognised or articulated). It is the aim of this paper to further articulate this understanding by examining at the judicial and industry positions in the UK and Australia.

6. Control of Unfair Terms Under Cypriot Contract Law.
6. 塞浦路斯合同法下不公平条款的控制PMID:日期:2022-07-14The introduction of the EU Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Directive in the legal system of Cyprus was the first instrument specifically dealing with the problems that arise with standard form contracts and the issue of consent. However, the Directive only generated caselaw approximately twenty years after its adoption, whereas the principle-based approach of the test for unfairness (significant imbalance test and good faith requirement) was interpreted in the common law notion of absence of dishonesty. Hence, Cypriot courts interpreted good faith as "honesty in fact". Under this interpretation, it seems that both procedural and substantive unfairness are not captured under the test. It is understood that whereas the statute codifying the contract law of Cyprus has incorporated the [civil law] will theory of contracts, no tools for the invalidation and scrutiny of terms that may be deemed unfair were provided. The statute placed considerable emphasis on procedural fairness, however, Cypriot courts seemed unwilling to adapt their approach and deal with the problems that standard form contracting poses, failing also to follow the developments in the UK. Thus, even after the adoption of EU consumer law directives, Cypriot courts show an unwillingness to scrutinize the parties' initial allocation of risk, even though such allocation was done in a standardized manner by one party. Despite the mixed character of the legal system, consumer law directives and the introduction of content control can be seen as legal irritants.

8. A Theory of Frustration and Its Effect.
PMID:日期:2022-06-22One of the key legal questions that COVID-19 has raised relates to the status of the traditional contractual doctrine of frustration. The pandemic and the ongoing lockdowns across the globe have made it difficult for many contracts to perform. At the same time, there is a deep doctrinal and conceptual confusion with respect to the very essentials of this doctrine and its remedy - i.e., what happens after an adjudicative tribunal declares that a given contract has been frustrated. The paper offers a unified conceptual account of the frustration doctrine and claims that both the doctrine and its remedy crystallize a single unifying idea.

9. Minors' Contracts in the Digital Age.
PMID:日期:2022-06-21Minority is well established as a form of legal incapacity across jurisdictions and laws. Some countries grant minors with limited capacity to contract while others consider all minors' contracts to be void. These rules were laid down in the pre-digital age. Minors today are entering into more and varied transactions than the generations before them, be it shopping on e-retail websites, creating social media accounts, or the more traditional employment contracts. This paper examines how the three jurisdictions of England, India and South Africa deal with minor contracts in the digital age. While South Africa permits minors above the age of seven years to enter into contracts with parental assistance, the English and Indian position is that minor contracts are unenforceable against minors, unless they are 'contracts for necessaries' or contracts for the benefit of the minor. Judicial interpretation of these categories has been fluid and indeterminate, creating its own set of problems. This paper argues from the Indian standpoint that the current understanding is inadequate to address the issues that will arise from the mismatch between law (where minority is almost synonymous with incapacity) and reality (where minors are increasingly entering into contracts). The author suggests that the definition for minority for contractual liability should be graded after the model of criminal liability and demonstrates that there are some, albeit imperfect, gains to be had from the South African system.

10. Frustration: Navigating the Bramble Bush.
PMID:日期:2022-05-09The law of frustration is tantalizingly simple when it comes to stating it, but incredibly hard when it comes to applying. One would be getting the wrong end of the stick if one were to treat various judicial statements surrounding the doctrine as axioms to be applied in a rule-like manner. Doing so would wrongly lead to a disproportionately large number of 'false positives'. The purpose of this article is two-fold. First, it seeks to give heuristic short-cuts to anticipate a common law judge's approach to a frustration case which is poorly captured in definitions and formulae. It seeks to do so by focussing on the 'tacit knowledge' used by lawyers. Second, it seeks to get to the heart of why frustration claims are so rarely successful by elucidating its doctrinal underpinnings.
