Accessory Liability de Paul S. Davies

Accessory Liability: Hart Studies in Private Law

Autor Paul S. Davies
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 feb 2015

În practica juridică curentă, tindem să tratăm răspunderea civilă ca pe un sistem de silozuri etanșe, unde contractele, trusturile și delictele civile funcționează după reguli complet izolate. Apreciem că această fragmentare a dreptului obligațiilor este nu doar artificială, ci și dăunătoare pentru un practician care caută reparații echitabile. Accessory Liability demonstrează că, de multe ori, singura șansă de recuperare a prejudiciului pentru un reclamant este acțiunea împotriva unui terț, mai ales atunci când autorul direct al faptei este insolvabil.

Observăm în această lucrare o rigoare academică de excepție, confirmată de prestigiosul premiu Peter Birks în 2015. Autorul, Paul S. Davies, propune o metodologie transversală: în loc să rămână blocat în terminologia specifică fiecărei ramuri, el extrage principiile fundamentale ale răspunderii accesorii din dreptul penal — unde conceptul este matur — și le aplică în dreptul privat. Dacă Accessories in Private Law de Joachim Dietrich v-a oferit cadrul teoretic general al acestui subiect neglijat, lucrarea de față oferă instrumentele practice de analiză, disecând elementul de conduită și cel mental necesare pentru a stabili vinovăția.

Structura volumului este una progresivă și analitică. Primele capitole stabilesc fundamentele, explorând natura răspunderii, pentru ca ulterior autorul să dedice secțiuni extinse jurisprudenței din Equity (analizând cazul de referință Barnes v Addy) și dreptului contractelor (explorând Lumley v Gye). Această abordare integrată, specifică seriei Hart Studies in Private Law, permite rezolvarea confuziilor doctrinare legate de apărări și remedii. Față de lucrările sale anterioare, precum Contract Law and the Unexpected, unde se concentra pe incertitudinea contractuală, aici Paul S. Davies își extinde viziunea asupra întregului peisaj juridic privat, oferind o claritate esențială într-un domeniu marcat istoric de inconsecvență.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este esențială pentru avocații și academicienii care gestionează litigii comerciale complexe unde autorul principal al unei fapte ilicite nu poate plăti. Cititorul va câștiga o înțelegere profundă a modului în care poate fi atrasă răspunderea terților care au asistat sau au facilitat o încălcare de contract sau un abuz de încredere, transformând un concept juridic adesea confuz într-o strategie de recuperare clară și fundamentată.

Descriere

Accessory liability in the private law is of great importance. Claimants often bring claims against third parties who participate in wrongs. For example, the 'direct wrongdoer' may be insolvent, so a claimant might prefer a remedy against an accessory in order to obtain satisfactory redress. However, the law in this area has not received the attention it deserves. The criminal law recognises that any person who 'aids, abets, counsels or procures' any offence can be punished as an accessory, but the private law is more fragmented. One reason for this is a tendency to compartmentalise the law of obligations into discrete subjects, such as contract, trusts, tort and intellectual property. This book suggests that by looking across such boundaries in the private law, the nature and principles of accessory liability can be better understood and doctrinal confusion regarding the elements of liability, defences and remedies resolved.

Winner of the Joint Second SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship 2015.

Recenzii

Davies is to be congratulated for achieving a task of immense proportions...It is a tremendous feat...Davies is to be heartily commended for bringing to the fore the previously unexplored connections across disparate areas of law, if only to expose them to further long overdue analysis by the legal community.
...Accessory Liability is a well-written, comprehensive, compelling and thought-provoking. In few than 300 pages, it weaves together a staggering range of subjects...This book deserves to become a significant point of reference for private law scholars and practitioners alike.
Overall, Accessory Liability is a book to be applauded and highly recommended. Within its pages lies
an appraisal and appreciation for this specific area of law that has been sorely lacking for far too long.

As Lord Justice Sales notes in his foreword, this book is long overdue; but the wait has certainly been worthwhile. The learning on display here is rich and deep, and Davies' clear structure and lucid style is an exemplar for future private law scholarship.
By seeking to unite discrete and substantial areas of private law, the book's mission is unmistakably ambitious. Yet the author is to be congratulated for meeting the challenge admirably by navigating nimbly across and between subject boundaries, and by squarely confronting a substantial corpus of conflicting and unfavourable authorities.
From the foreword by Philip Sales: Judges, practitioners and academic lawyers who read this book will be indebted to Mr Davies for bringing clarity and coherence to what should now be recognised
as a major category of civil liability in its own right.

This book deserves to become a significant point of reference for private law scholars and practitioners alike.
This magnificent work of awesome scholarship and insight should be essential reading
for judges, practitioners and advanced level students working in the field of private law.

All in all, this is a mould-breaking book, based on deep learning and perceptive analysis, yet written in a clear and accessible style.
Davies' book is a thoroughly researched and insightful publication. This book presents a challenging, and powerful, argument that the various forms of accessory liability can be drawn together, and Davies' framework provides a clear way towards achieving that goal.
In Accessory Liability, Davies navigates the reader with clarity and skill through the murky waters of each of these questions and many others besides. It seems to me, therefore, that this book was, in 2015, quite deservedly the joint second prizewinner of the prestigious Society of Legal Scholars Peter Birks Book Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship. It is a book of immense learning and careful reflection written by someone who clearly grasps the fact that elegance in legal prose is no mere luxury. It is a book about accessories, but it is also an exemplar of accessibility.
