Novus Actus and Beyond
Glanville Williams's influential 1989 article on causation, “ Finis for Novus Actus ?”, addressed two pertinent questions: (1) when, and on what grounds, may a person be judged to bear causal responsibility for harms most immediately brought about by the subsequent action of another person (the locus classicus of the novus actus interveniens doctrine), and (2) how should questions of causation be resolved in cases where the potential cause in que…
Penal Censure
This exploration of penal censure is inspired by the 40th anniversary of the publication of Andreas von Hirsch's Doing Justice, which opened up a fresh set of issues in theorisation about punishment that eventually led von Hirsch to ground his proposed model of desert-based sentencing on the notion of penal censure. Von Hirsch's work thus provides an obvious starting-point for an exploration of the importance of censure for the justification of p…
Penal Desert and the Passage of Time
In this chapter, I address the question how – if at all – the mere passage of time affects how much punishment an offender deserves. I focus, in particular, on how the two main determinants of desert – wrongful harm, and culpability – are affected over time. I argue that subsequent events can affect both of these components in either direction. A wrongful harm is not on a unidirectional slide towards ‘historicisation’ but can experience ‘diachron…
Elizabeth Wicks, Human Rights and Healthcare
Teachers and students of medical law often struggle with its patchwork-like structure: the field seems composed of subsets of disparate areas of law such as tort, criminal law and administrative law, with hardly any legal principles common to all. What coherence of presentation is achieved in the standard textbooks derives from ethics. An internally consistent ethical perspective on, for instance, the doctor–patient relationship, the values under…
Liberal Criminal Theory
This book celebrates Andreas (Andrew) von Hirsch’s pioneering contributions to liberal criminal theory. He is particularly noted for reinvigorating desert-based theories of punishment, for his development of principled normative constraints on the enactment of criminal laws, and for helping to bridge the gap between Anglo-American and German criminal law scholarship. Underpinning his work is a deep commitment to a liberal vision of the state. Thi…
