...this volume has much to offer private law scholars from all jurisdictions. Gillian Black Edinburgh Law Review Vol 13, 2009 The contributors were chosen for their expertise, the topics include issues of current controversy, and the execution is flawless. Considered individually or as a whole, the papers that comprise the collection constitute a significant contribution to the existing literature. Mitchell McLnnes The Journal of Business Law Issue 4 2009

In August 2006 the third Australian Obligations Conference was hosted in Brisbane by the TC Beirne School of Law. The theme of the Conference was "Justifying Private Law Remedies". This book contains a number of the papers delivered at that Conference, presented under several categories but all dealing with the fundamental issue of justification: General Concepts; Performance; Compensation; Punishment; and Restitution and Disgorgement. The authors are largely drawn from the legal academy, and include Canadian, Australian, British and New Zealand scholars. The collection will be of interest to all those concerned with the role, nature and place of remedies in the private law of the common law world.
