Key Ideas in Law: The Concept of Fairness

Brice Dickson

Brice Dickson is Emeritus Professor of International and Comparative Law at Queen’s University Belfast, UK.

This book explores how the concept of fairness is used in different legal fields to ensure that the laws we live under are just and reasonable.

It looks at the part fairness plays in law-making in different areas including public law, criminal law, contract law, tort law and trust law, family law, employment law, consumer law, immigration law and tax law.  It presents careful analysis of relevant legislation and judicial decisions, especially those of the UK’s Supreme Court.

The book prompts readers to think more deeply about how laws should be written and applied so as to make societies fairer for everyone.
