\n\t\t[Book Launch] Medical Negligence and the Duty to Advise: Beyond Autonomy\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

This book argues that the emphasis on autonomy has distorted orthodox negligence principles, contributing to uncertainty and angst amongst healthcare professionals while eroding trust in the doctor-patient relationship. This work takes the current discourse beyond autonomy – which focuses on the rights of the patient, to agency and shared decision-making – which focus on the relationship between doctor and patient. Provocatively, this work argues against an individualistic, rights-based approach to negligence – which can be confrontational – in favour of a relational, human obligations approach. Drawing on the theoretical analysis, the book identifies doctrinal anomalies in the duty of care, standard of care, causation, and damage.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tCLT Roundtable: “Collaboration or Confrontation: The Nature of the Theoretical\/Academic Enterprise” by Professor Luka Burazin, University of Zagreb in Conversation with Andrew Halpin and Lynette Chua\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

In a loosely structured discussion, the Panelists will consider the questions whether the research we undertake should be regarded as part of a collaborative enterprise (the pursuit of knowledge), or as the advancement of an independent research profile (the promotion of my knowledge) as superior to other work in the field; whether or not these two objectives are mutually exclusive; and, whether the answers given will vary depending on the field of research, the state of existing knowledge, and the temperament of the researchers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe Singapore Symposium in Legal Theory AY2026 “Consenting, Promising, and the Power to Contract” by Dr Irina Sakharova, Durham University\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

In moral and legal philosophy, there are different approaches to understanding consent as a normative power. It might be fair to observe that when a reference to consent is made, consenting is often understood as giving permission, but consent as a normative power has been conceptualised in two (different) ways: as a ‘proprietary gate’ (eg giving a license) or as a ‘normative rope’ (eg assuming an obligation).<\/p>\n

\n\t\t[BLOG] Extradition and Empire\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Ivan Lee observed that contrary to later interpretations, the Opium War treaties (1842-43) did not explicitly establish extradition or extraterritoriality.\u00a0 Instead vague language was used about handing over criminals and punishing people under their own laws. Later scholars assumed these treaties created formal legal systems, but in reality, those systems were developed gradually over the following decades and early colonial Hong Kong was a testing ground where Britain slowly built rules about jurisdiction (who has legal authority over whom).<\/p>\n
