The collection reflects the diversity and contemporary relevance of modern research in property law. Incorporating a keynote address by Sir John Mummery, retired Lord Justice of Appeal, on 'Property In The Information Age.' A number of chapters consider the contribution of property law to issues central to the human condition -- the home, health, and death. Other papers illustrate an enduring need to question and explore fundamental concepts of the subject, as well as to consider the challenges of reforming the law.

"Landmark Cases in Property Law explores the development of basic principles of property law in leading cases. Each paper considers a case on land, personal property or intangibles, discussing what that case contributes to the dominant themes of property jurisprudence - how are property rights acquired? What is the content of property rights? What are the limits or boundaries of property? How are property rights extinguished? Individually and collectively, the papers identify a number of important themes for the doctrinal development of property institutions and their broader justification. These themes include: the obscure and incremental development of seemingly foundational principles, the role of instrumentalism in property reasoning, the influence of the law of tort on the scope of property doctrines, and the impact of Roman legal reasoning on the common law of property. One or more of these themes (and others) is revealed through careful case analysis in each paper, and they are collected and critically explored in the editors' introduction. This makes for a coherent and provocative collection, and ensures that Landmark Cases in Property Law will be lively and essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and all those interested in the development of property principles at law."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Das Urheberrecht ist als absolutes Ausschließlichkeitsrecht ausgestaltet, d. h. für jede rechtmäßige Nutzung durch Dritte ist die Zustimmung des Urhebers notwendig. Dafür hat sich im Urheberrecht der Begriff Opt-In etabliert. Der Autor vergleicht vier Regelungsmodelle, die dieses Grundkonzept auf den Kopf stellen und es Begünstigten erlauben, urheberrechtlich geschützte Werke ohne vorherige Zustimmung zu nutzen, solange der Rechtsinhaber dieser Nutzung nicht widerspricht. Derartige Konzepte werden als Opt-Out-Modelle bezeichnet. Zugleich binden die Modelle Elemente der kollektiven Verwertung und insbesondere Verwertungsgesellschaften ein. Der Autor untersucht diese Modelle umfassend und vergleicht sie. Schließlich beantwortet der Autor die Frage, ob die verschiedenen Modelle verallgemeinerungsfähig sind, sodass Opt-In zugunsten Opt-Out verdrängt werden könnte.

Richard A. Debs analyzes the classical Islamic law of property based on the Shari'ah, traces its historic development in Egypt, and describes its integration as a source of law within the modern format of a civil code. He focuses specifically on Egypt, a country in the Islamic world that drew upon its society's own vigorous legal system as it formed its modern laws. He also touches on issues that are common to all such societies that have adopted, either by choice or by necessity, Western legal systems.Egypt's unique synthesis of Western and traditional elements is the outcome of an effort to respond to national goals and requirements. Its traditional law, the Shari'ah, is the fundamental law of all Islamic societies, and Debs's analysis of Egypt's experience demonstrates how Islamic jurisprudence can be sophisticated, coherent, rational, and effective, developed over centuries to serve the needs of societies that flourished under the rule of law.
