Contemporary Issues in Law - Call for Papers
The Contaminated Blood Scandal
In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of people with haemophilia were infected with Hepatitis C and the HIV virus after receiving contaminated blood products through the NHS. Patients were given products that had been imported from the United States, where paid donors included individuals from high-risk groups. A public inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal commenced in April 2019, and is expected to hear evidence from affected patients, families, healthcare professionals and other experts.
The Editors of Contemporary Issues in Law invite submissions that explore the topic of the contaminated blood inquiry. These can draw on any related legal or ethical aspect (for example, criminal negligence, compensation, liability).
Papers should be 8,000-10,000 words (including footnotes)
Submission deadline: 1st November 2019
Submissions should be emailed to cil@lawtext.com

Preface: the Rt Hon Lord Glennie
The law relating to freight forwarding is fraught with difficulties. Diverse matters overlap and the law relating to carriage co-exists awkwardly with contracts for the provision of services. There is no uniform regime for intermodal or multimodal carriage, and no precise definition of the business, duties and responsibilities of a freight forwarder.

NUISANCE LAW AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
A
study of nuisance injunctions in practice
By Dr
Ben Pontin
FOREWORD
by Lord
Carnwath JSC
This
book about the common law's important contribution to environmental
protection takes a practical - and novel - approach to nuisance law. It
focuses on the social and environmental consequences of the enforcement
of nuisance injunctions.
Quoted in the SUPREME
COURT
Judgment of 26 February 2014 in
Coventry
and Others (Respondents) v. Lawrence and Another (Appellants) at para
176
"176.
Ben Pontin in his valuable recent book Nuisance
Law and Environmental Protection (2013)
shows how since the middle of the 19th century common law nuisance has
played an important complementary role to regulatory controls, one hand
stimulating industry to find better technical solutions to
environmental problems, and, on the other, stimulating the legislature
to fill gaps in the regulatory system. He sees the present appeal as an
important opportunity for the Supreme Court to review the proper role
of this part of the law of nuisance in the modern world (p 184)."
