Although the Final Report's criticisms are direct, they are also understated and limit the longer term role of the neoliberal project. Using the Public Inquiry's own data, this article supports the bereaved and survivors’ view that the government operationalised explicit acts of omission to sustain an inadequate testing regime of cladding materials for decades before 2010.

Moreover, it engages with the wider topic of how we can understand the government(s)’ role in dealing with an ‘emergency’ (the Covid-19 pandemic) and the consequent (global) health crisis. Vaccine-injured individuals and communities perceive suffering health problems after Covid-19 vaccination as a ‘tragedy’, which requires an adequate response. However, the VDPS often does not meet their expectations, which fuels the vaccine-injured community's narratives around an emerging ‘scandal’ over inadequate redress provision for those who suffered adverse effects following Covid-19 vaccines. These perceptions and meaning-making are in stark contrast to the fact that the wider population is unaffected by these issues and are generally not aware of the harms suffered or of the VDPS.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"53 S1","pages":"S151-S166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It uses the concept of ‘accidental activism’ to explore how victims, initially isolated and disempowered, became central agents of justice reform. The authors examine how institutional agnosis and legality illusions—mechanisms of ignorance-making and legal manipulation—enabled systemic harm and prolonged injustice. Despite legal victories such as the Bates litigation and the Horizon IT Inquiry, the paper highlights the cyclical nature of legal processes and logics reasserting the system-norms the victims/survivors are resisting. This is experienced as an ‘infinite’ regress of revictimisation. In mapping the transformation of personal trauma into collective resistance, we see how survivor-led activism can challenge state-corporate power and foster broader structural change but also how the system will work to protect itself.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"53 S1","pages":"S25-S41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These labels, rather than simply being used to describe instability, function as tools of governance to normalise dysfunction and entrench cycles of dependency. Drawing on postcolonial frameworks, the discourse interrogates how such crisis narratives obscure and ignore structural issues. Further, this sustains and promotes external authority, often rooted in colonial narratives of the region. The exploration of case studies, Somalia and South Sudan, highlighting how international interventions, often framed as peacebuilding or humanitarian efforts, reinforce the very ‘crisis’ it aims to address. The solution to decolonise this paradigm created by western interventionist economies lies in alternatives grounded in African epistemologies of governance that centre local sovereignty.

Yet, while tax non-compliance is known to be significant among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the motivations underlying it remain surprisingly underexplored, particularly in the context of developing countries. This article introduces a novel theoretical framework for understanding the tax morale of corporate taxpayers, identifying five endogenous and six exogenous motivations for tax (non-)compliance. The proposed framework is informed by an innovative methodological approach using a triangulation of primary data, including 42 interviews and 86 court cases, with a focus on value-added tax and corporate income tax. This article addresses for the first time a crucial question: why is compliance with tax law among SMEs so low, particularly in developing countries? It empirically demonstrates that SMEs’ tax behaviour is influenced by psychological factors, identifying the existence of corporate tax morale that <i>prima facie</i> runs counter to both the legal fiction that holds that SMEs are separate legal entities and the standard tax policy assumption that VAT is a full neutral tax for businesses.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"53 1","pages":"51-74"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This poses two pressing questions for socio-legal scholarship that we address in this article: to what extent are changing territorial arrangements significant for the substance of United Kingdom (UK) health law and the values by which it is oriented, and what role is played by devolved health law in redefining territories and values within the UK? Informed by perspectives from human geography and policy studies, and drawing on our own qualitative empirical research, we examine recent lawmaking processes in relation to organ donation reform. ‘Opt-out’ or ‘presumed consent’ schemes, adopted in sequence in each of the UK countries, appear to challenge the centrality of voluntary altruism, extolled as a fundamentally British value in Richard Titmuss’ post-war work on social policy.
