\n\t\tPLDG-CLT Seminar: The Idea of Equity by Professor Matthew Harding\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

In recent years, a number of scholars have offered theoretical perspectives on equity that seek to identify its character and purpose as a distinctive element of the legal system. In this paper, I take stock of this recent work, asking what about equity it illuminates and what it leaves unexplored. I then assess the prospects of building on recent theoretical work to set out a general account of equity that both describes the practice in all its dimensions and shows the practice to be normatively desirable in light of political and moral ideals. I suggest that such a general account is likely to show that the idea of equity departs in profound ways from the usual preoccupations of private law.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t[Blog post] Corporate Liability and Systems Theory\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Current models of the company derived from agency theory and its off-shoot team production theory are not satisfactory in thinking through liability problems. Agency theory is not satisfactory because it is reductionist and sees the company as a nexus of contracts centred upon the shareholder-manager relationship. Team production theory is not satisfactory because it sees the company’s internal hierarchy as having the main task of resolving\u00a0intra<\/em>-corporate disputes (that is, among input providers). The theory has no purpose when there are no such disputes and is not concerned with external claims.<\/p>\n
