About this lecture:
The task of determining the proper scope of the law of proprietary remedies has been described as the most difficult undertaking facing those seeking to rationalise the law of restitution.  A matter of particular contention concerns the methodology that might legitimately be employed in analysing this area.  In particular, there is a view that it is wrong to try, as many scholars have, to explain, justify or develop these remedies by reference to policy arguments that focus on the effects that awarding such relief have in insolvency.  Not only is this perspective implicit in much judicial discussion, it has been articulated quite explicitly by some academic writers in recent years. This lecture explores the objections raised against justifying proprietary relief on the basis of whether its consequences in insolvency are deserved and asks whether, like it or not, we can really avoid a significant level of engagement with policy if debate in this area is to be rational.     


About the speaker: 
Craig Rotherham is Professor of Law at the University of Nottingham.  He is author of Proprietary Remedies in Context: A Study in the Redistribution of Property Rights (Hart, 2002).
