In <i>Mitigation in the Law of Damages</i>, Andrew Summers argues that the theory of 'common-sense causation' Hart and Honoré advanced also persuasively explains the English law of mitigation. In addition to considering the continuing relevance of this analysis today, and noting the need for an improved understanding of legal responsibility's non-causal limits, the present article critically evaluates Summers's descriptive claims. It is argued that while Summers offers a generally compelling rationalisation of the avoidable loss rule, his analysis of the authorities concerned with the relevance of consequential benefits derived from the wrong when assessing damages following civil wrongdoing is substantively incomplete.</p>","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":"201-222"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13017295/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147575862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, output legitimacy evaluates corporate decision making by its contribution to societal welfare, whereas input legitimacy requires that corporate decisions reflect the preferences of its legitimate stakeholders. On both fronts, shareholderism and stakeholderism offer incomplete strategies to legitimise corporate authority. Shareholderism, although firmly grounded in state-derived legitimacy, fails to address certain structural problems, such as corporate political power and the geographic mismatch between jurisdictions and capital. Most stakeholderists, by contrast, would have corporate leaders make distributive judgments in place of the majoritarian, yet ineffective, political process. In terms of output legitimacy, their alternative is plausible, but they fail to engage with the participatory requirements of input legitimacy. The emerging proceduralist agenda, drawing on principles such as transparency and stakeholder engagement, offers a thin basis for corporate legitimacy.</p>","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":"141-170"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13017770/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147575829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One way is to strip their determination of any distinctly <i>legal</i> reasoning, and deny that they make law at all. This article suggests that is the approach found in the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA). With a focus on best interests determinations within mental capacity adjudication, the following argument challenges the sense (or otherwise) in conceiving of such adjudication as a <i>legal</i> exercise. I argue that MCA cases do not involve the courts in either a law-applying or even a law-making role. Rather, they represent the issuing of a decision that is eminently non-legal in nature, and more reflective of the exercise of an executive or administrative function. This raises questions about the quality and defensibility of mental capacity jurisprudence itself, but also about the meaning of law and the role of the judicial branch.</p>","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"45 4","pages":"1019-1046"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12688651/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145726533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, lawyers do not often explain their doctrinal research methods and by implication struggle to articulate where empirical research can make helpful contributions. The articles suggests that doctrinal research is characterised by three core features that make specific assumptions about law: (i) legal sources are the exclusive avenue for altering rules and principles of law; (ii) legal sources are intelligible, coherent and consistent; and (iii) the success of any doctrinal account is contingent on legal sources alone. On this basis, we can appreciate that empirical contributions are essential: (i) to an accurate understanding of the law; (ii) to critiques, because the law lacks frameworks to evaluate its own operation; and (iii) to surveying legal sources. However, this insight comes with a word of caution: not all empirical methods are well suited to providing doctrinally relevant insights and there are some sophisticated pitfalls to avoid along the way.</p>","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"45 4","pages":"1047-1075"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12688654/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145726984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical issues of freedom of speech have hitherto been dominated in the international arena by the US literature, which builds on the First Amendment jurisprudence as its starting point. Now, an essential European work digs deep into the question and, moving away from legal positivism, seeks an answer to the question: 'What is free speech?' Wragg gives a new, revelatory interpretation of John Stuart Mill's oft-quoted essay, 'On Liberty'. The author argues forcefully in defence of 'irrationality', which is the keyword of the book. For him, the very essence of free speech is the protection of irrational speech, that is, speech regarded as worthless by traditional free speech justifications. This is not to unleash foolishness and irresponsibility, but to protect the freedom and autonomy of the individual.

The law currently operates on the assumption that animals are passive non-agents, which is reflected in the nature of their legal representation as voiceless and incompetent. We challenge this assumption by identifying three alternative standards for legally representing animals and their interests in the decision-making processes that affect them. According to the: (i) Interest Representation Standard, the best interests of animals are considered; (ii) Listening Standard, animals have a voice, and their input is solicited; and (iii) Empowerment Standard, animals are enabled to make decisions with legal effect. Each standard involves a varying degree of human and animal involvement in legal decision making.
