Produktbeschreibung
A new assessment of the influence of the lex Aquilia on Roman law in the United Kingdom The lex Aquilia, a Roman statute enacted c. 287/286 BCE to reform the Roman law on wrongful damage to property has had a profound impact on the teaching of Roman law in the United Kingdom. It also continues to be a topic of vigorous academic debate among British Romanists. This book investigates this peculiarly British fixation with the topic of wrongful damage to property in Roman law against the backdrop of larger themes such as the teaching of Roman law during the last century, the development of delict/tort liability in Britain and the rise of comparative law. Bringing together a range of leading experts in the field, the book establishes whether it is possible to identify a 'British' method of researching and writing about Roman law and illustrates that while Roman law scholarship in the United Kingdom constantly engages in dialogue with Continental scholarship, it is also informed by the 'legal culture' of the United Kingdom. Paul J. du Plessis is Professor of Roman law in the School of Law at the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses predominantly on the multifaceted and complex set of relationships between law and society in a historical context. He is editor of Cicero's Law: Rethinking Roman Law of the Late Republic (2016) and New Frontiers: Law and Society in the Roman World (2013) and the co-editor, with John W. Cairns, of Reassessing Legal Humanism and its Claims: Petere Fontes? (2015), The Creation of the Ius Commune: From Casus to Regula (2010) and Beyond Dogmatics: Law and Society in the Roman World (2007) (all Edinburgh University Press).
