Re-enacting the judicial philosophy of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. sat on the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in 1889, when, in the case of Claflin v Claflin, he joined the decision that a trust may not be modified if the intention of the testator would be undermined. Claflin rejected Lord Cottenham’s reasoning in Saunders v Vautier that, under certain circumstances, beneficiaries may compel the termination of the trust and transfer the property to them. Claflin v Claflin and Sa…
Looking Backward to Taxation and Consensus in Utopian Imagining
This article explores the utopian tax imagination, staging Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward as an allegory: a dream through which fiscal architecture includes distributive harmony and a collective future. Bellamy’s classic utopian novel is juxtaposed with the efforts to construct a modern international tax framework. The analysis considers international fiscal choreography, treating tax as a semiotic site of governance and equity. International …
Tax Complexity, Tax Salience and Tax Politics
This article considers the implications of the tax salience literature for the United Kingdom. First, the different categories, and definitions, of tax salience that have developed in the literature are reviewed, and some of the prescriptive implications of these terms are introduced. Tax salience refers, essentially, to the capacity of taxpayers to understand legislation. Thus, the potential reasons behind tax complexity and the potential benefi…

Towards a Fiscal Sociology of Tax Credits and the Fathers' Rights Movement
The case of Hockenjos v Secretary of State (2004) held that a father who was denied the childcare element of Jobseekers' Allowance (a benefit which now has been repealed) had been `discriminated against'. The case was litigated by a fathers' rights activist, and has been hailed both as an important victory for the wider `movement', and as a step towards obtaining child tax credits for fathers who live separately from their children. This article …
Inheritance in Socio‐Political Context
The anti‐‘death tax’ movement is the starting point for contemporary discussions of inheritance taxation. The political rhetoric surrounding calls for its repeal typically is met with analyses of the extent to which inheritance tax avoidance benefits the wealthy, and arguments that inheritance taxation is fair and ‘targeted’. This article suggests that engagement by tax lawyers with sociological theories of economic inheritance has the potential …
Marketing working mothers
This article will argue that: first, the focus on the working mother which is encouraged by the Working Families' Tax Credit (WFTC) is confused by issues of class interest; second, that the question of whether the WFTC encourages the commodification of mothering is potentially problematic; and, finally, that the WFTC has repercussions for the culturally perceived context of 'natural work' for mothers, which should be considered in response to pra…

It considers the technical achievementsof communications and information technology (C&IT) in the practiceand teaching of law, then the jurisprudential paradigms which underliethese issues.
