Описание: This book provides a broad conspectus on the application of EU and international regulation of the food sector on English law. It is aimed at practitioners and students of this vital and emerging branch of law, which has become an important part of current political and legal debate. It is written not just for lawyers as a statement of current law, but is also aimed at all those involved or interested in the food industry who wish to familiarise themselves with how the law is applied practically in this jurisdiction. The book commences with a short conceptual framework for the study of food law. It then provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of current English law, explaining fully the detailed processes by which both international and national law and EU decision making have impacted upon most aspects of the production, sale and consumption of food in England. The book explains and assesses the operation of the current law by describing in detail the roles of Government, the Food Standards Agency and local enforcement authorities in the making and enforcing of laws concerning food. The work contains full outlines of the developments in the most significant areas of food law. It concentrates specifically on topics such as food labelling and advertising, quality and compositional requirements, geographical food names, genetic modification, organic production, animal welfare and also the role of law in tackling poor health, obesity, and diet-related disease. The book, though primarily designed as a law text, goes beyond the usual confines of such works. It sets out to explain and describe the impact of successive food crises, such as BSE and the use of horsemeat in beef products, on food safety and transparency requirements. The book considers and assesses how the existing rules on the chemical and biological safety of food impact on our law, and concludes with a review of the developing legal issues concerning the environmental impacts of current and proposed food law, in particular the relationship between food law, climate change and food security.

Описание: This book, written by practitioners, academics and advocates before the European Court, reflects on the increasing importance of services in the EU economy in the last decades as well as the number and scope of EU rules, both those liberalising the provision of services and those protecting their recipients or consumers.
Описание: From various perspectives, this book's contributions explore the 'images' of the consumer in EU law. The images of the consumer form the foundation for various EU policies, more or less directly oriented towards the goal of consumer protection. The purpose of the book is to establish what visions of the consumer there are in different contexts of EU law, whether they are consistent, and whether EU legal engagement with consumer-related considerations is sincere, or merely instrumental to the achievement of other goals. Chapters discuss how consumers should be protected in EU contract, competition, free movement, and trade mark law. They reflect on the limits of the consumer empowerment rationale as the basis for EU consumer policy. Additionally, the book looks at the variety of concerns consumers might have, including the cost of goods and services, access to credit, ethical questions of consumption, the challenges of excessive choice, and the possibility to influence the content of regulatory measures, while exploring the significance of these issues for the EU's legislative and judicial process.

Описание: When faced with tackling food-borne illness, regulators have a number of competing goals. They must investigate in order to discover the source of the illness. Once the source is identified they must take action to prevent further cases of illness occurring. Finally, once the illness is under control, they may wish to take enforcement action against those responsible. Regulating Food-Borne Illness uses interviews and documentary analysis to examine the actions of regulators and considers how they balance these three tasks. Central to the regulators' role is the collection of information. Without information about the source, control or enforcement action cannot be taken. Investigation must therefore take place to produce the necessary information. Utilising theoretical frameworks drawn from regulation and biosecurity, Regulating Food-Borne Illness shows that control is prioritised, and that investigatory steps are chosen in order to ensure that the information necessary for control, rather than enforcement, is collected. This has the effect of reducing the possibility that enforcement action can be taken. The difficulty of evidence gathering and case-building in food-borne illness cases is exposed, and the author considers the methods aimed at reducing the difficulty of bringing successful enforcement action.
Описание: The collapse of the Rana Plaza in Bangladesh (2013) is one of many cases to invoke critical scrutiny and moral outrage regarding the conditions under which consumer goods sold on our markets are produced elsewhere. In spite of abiding moral concerns, these goods remain popular and consumers continue to buy them. Such transactions for goods made under deplorable production conditions are usually presumed to count as ‘normal’ market transactions, ie transactions that are recognized as valid consumer-contracts under the rules of contract law. Minimum Contract Justice challenges this presumption of normality. It explores the question of how theories of justice bear on such consumer contracts; how should a society treat a transaction for a good made under deplorable conditions elsewhere? Minimum Contract Justice defends the position that a society that strives to be minimally just should not lend its power to enforce, support, or encourage transactions that are incompatible with the ability of others elsewhere to live decent human lives. As such, the book introduces a new perspective on the legal debate concerning deplorable production conditions that has settled around ideas of corporate responsibility, and the pursuit of international labour rights.

Описание: The production, marketing and exportation of food is particularly important to the Irish economy. The sector continues to grow and has played a very significant role in Ireland’s financial recovery. This important new book provides a much needed overview of the field. It traces the history and development of the fledgling system of food law as it was in Ireland during colonial times and the Irish Free State, through to an examination of the current dynamic relationship between International, European Union and domestic laws on matters such as food safety, food labelling and advertising, protected food names, hygiene and food contamination. The book also contains detailed assessments of the ways in which the law is used to address current health concerns, such as those related to nutrition, obesity and alcohol abuse, as well as such issues as food fraud, animal welfare, organics and the use of technologies like genetic modification, cloning and nanotechnology in food production.
Описание: The Regulatory Revolution at the FTC examines a thirty-year period of transition at the Federal Trade Commission, roughly extending from the early 1980s through the present, during which the FTC evolved from an agency on the brink of extinction to one widely respected for its performance and economic sophistication.
Описание: This edited collection brings together research from a range of substantive areas of law that share a common interest in understanding the multi-layered challenges of defining legal certainty in the context of legal and political modernity. The principle of legal certainty-the view that the law must be sufficiently certain to provide those subject to legal norms with the resources to regulate their own conduct and to provide a layer of protection against the arbitrary use of public power-has functioned as a fundamental rule of law value and as a normative ideal that has structured legal debates, both at the national and international level. In recent years, however, legal certainty has come under renewed pressure from a number of historically new and competing demands that are made of law: for example, the expectation that the law be more responsive to a social environment characterized by rapid economic and technological change; or the marked trend, across most major jurisdictions, towards increasing the degree and scope of discretion afforded to regulators in the fields of business and market regulation-the so-called 'responsive regulation'; or the challenges posed by indices, such as the World Bank's Doing Business Report and the Index of Legal Certainty, which apply metric tools to rank a country's performance with the ultimate aim to reduce the 'regulatory burden' of doing business, and to prove the virtues of their respective models. These, and other, developments raise difficult, but interesting, questions regarding the meaning, possibility and desirability of legal certainty in the context of a rapidly changing global society. This book aims to address these issues by bringing together scholars from various jurisdictions to examine changes in the shifting meaning of legal certainty.The book will be of interest both to lawyers and academics interested in understanding the transformation of core rule of law values in the context of contemporary social change, as well as political scientists and social theorists.
