Imprisonment in England and Wales
Originally published in 1985, Imprisonment in England and Wales is an account of the changing functions and conditions of imprisonment in England and Wales from the Medieval period to the present day. It is designed both as a text for students and teachers of history, law and social science and as an introduction to the subject for more general readers and is one of the few attempts to provide an overall view of the institution of imprisonment in…
Insurance Fraud and the Role of the Civil Law
Two UK Supreme Court decisions have considered insurance fraud. The first, Versloot Dredging BV v HDI‐Gerling Industries Versicherung (The DC Merwestone) , concerned the use of a fraudulent device being harnessed to support a legitimate claim which, in the view of the majority, was an area of insurance law in need of re‐evaluation.

The author argues that instead of trying to uncover simple themes, the most…

The recent decision in Midland Mainline v Eagle Star Insurance Co Ltd, has returned the Court of Appeal to some thorny questions concerning causation in insurance contracts. The case resulted from the Hat¢eld rail disaster in 2000 in which four people diedwhen a trainwas derailed by a broken track. Following the crash, Railtrack plc, the operator of the track, decided to impose emergency speed restrictions (ESRs) across those parts of the rail ne…
Insurers, Claims and the Boundaries of Good Faith
This article examines the refusal of the English courts to award damages for consequential losses following unreasonable delay on the part of insurers in settling a claim. This has the potential to give rise to dire consequences for insureds. These difficulties have been addressed in North American jurisdictions where the concept of good faith has been developed and applied as a means of both compensating insureds and regulating the conduct of in…
The idea of policing
Policing has, typically, been seen as the work which the police do. Only comparatively recently have the parts played by individuals, communities and commercial organizations been recognized. Yet right up to the nineteenth century they were expected to play the central role in policing. To an important extent the shift in the definition of policing was initiated by the activities of the Henry and John Fielding at Bow Street in London: principally…
