Justice in Private Law
This book discusses the dominant corrective justice and distributive justice approaches to private law and identifies their strengths and weaknesses.It goes on to propose a general approach to private law, including contract, tort and private property, and explains how it can provide solutions to some longstanding problems. Two general ideas inform this approach: the ‘standpoint limitation’ and ‘remedial consistency’.The standpoint limitation explains the distinctive character of private law, that is to say why it is focussed mainly, though not exclusively, on particular individual interests rather than the common welfare.Remedial consistency explains the way in which remedies depend on and give effect to primary rights. The book also discusses the nature of common law legal reasoning and its relationship to the suggested understanding of private law.

Transnational Legal Ordering of Criminal Justice
Hard and soft law developed by international and regional organizations, transgovernmental networks, and international courts increasingly shape rules, procedures, and practices governing criminalization, policing, prosecution, and punishment.This dynamic calls into question traditional approaches that study criminal justice from a predominantly national perspective, or that dichotomize the study of international from national criminal law.Building on socio-legal theories of transnational legal ordering, this book develops a new approach for studying the interaction between international and domestic criminal law and practice.Distinguished scholars from different disciplines apply this approach in ten case studies of transnational legal ordering that address transnational crimes such as money laundering, corruption, and human trafficking, international crimes such as mass atrocities, and human rights abuses in law enforcement.The book provides a comprehensive treatment of the changing transnational nature of criminal justice policymaking and practice in today's globalized world.

When do law and justice not coincide?
Law and justice do not coincide when the law is unjust or when it is not applied fairly. In some cases, the law may be discriminatory or biased, leading to unjust outcomes. Additionally, there may be instances where the law is not enforced equally, resulting in disparities in how justice is served. When these discrepancies occur, law and justice do not align, and individuals may not receive the fair treatment and protection they are entitled to under the law.

What forms of legal self-justice exist?
Legal self-justice can take various forms, including self-defense, citizen's arrest, and the use of force to protect oneself or others from harm. Self-defense allows individuals to protect themselves from imminent danger or harm, using a reasonable amount of force necessary to defend themselves. Citizen's arrest permits individuals to detain someone they believe has committed a crime until law enforcement arrives. However, it is essential to ensure that any actions taken in the name of legal self-justice comply with the law and do not escalate the situation.

'Revenge or Justice?'
Revenge is driven by a desire to inflict harm or suffering on someone in response to a perceived wrongdoing, often without consideration for fairness or due process. Justice, on the other hand, is about restoring balance and fairness by holding individuals accountable for their actions through a fair and impartial legal process. While revenge may provide temporary satisfaction, it often perpetuates a cycle of harm and does not address the root causes of the conflict. Justice, on the other hand, seeks to address the underlying issues and promote healing and reconciliation. Ultimately, justice is a more sustainable and constructive approach to resolving conflicts and addressing wrongdoing.

Business, Human Rights and Transitional Justice
This book considers the efficacy of transitional justice mechanisms in response to corporate human rights abuses. Corporations and other business enterprises often operate in countries affected by conflict or repressive regimes.As such, they may become involved in human rights violations and crimes under international law - either as the main perpetrators or as accomplices by aiding and abetting government actors.Transitional justice mechanisms, such as trials, truth commissions, and reparations, have usually focused on abuses by state authorities or by non-state actors directly connected to the state, such as paramilitary groups.Innovative transitional justice mechanisms have, however, now started to address corporate accountability for human rights abuses and crimes under international law and have attempted to provide redress for victims.This book analyzes this development, assessing how transitional justice can provide remedies for corporate human rights abuses and crimes under international law.Canvassing a broad range of literature relating to international criminal law mechanisms, regional human rights systems, domestic courts, truth and reconciliation commissions, and land restitution programmes, this book evaluates the limitations and potential of each mechanism.Acknowledging the limited extent to which transitional justice has been able to effectively tackle the role of corporations in human rights violations and international crimes, this book nevertheless points the way towards greater engagement with corporate accountability as part of transitional justice. A valuable contribution to the literature on transitional justice and on business and human rights, this book will appeal to scholars, researchers and PhD students in these areas, as well as lawyers and other practitioners working on corporate accountability and transitional justice.

What is the difference between distributive justice and corrective justice?
Distributive justice is concerned with the fair distribution of resources, opportunities, and benefits within a society. It focuses on the allocation of goods and services to individuals and groups, aiming to ensure that everyone receives their fair share. Corrective justice, on the other hand, is concerned with rectifying wrongs or harms that have occurred between individuals. It focuses on restoring the balance or rectifying the harm caused by a specific action or situation. In essence, distributive justice is about the fair distribution of resources, while corrective justice is about addressing specific wrongs or harms.

Is there a difference between law and justice?
Yes, there is a difference between law and justice. Law refers to the system of rules and regulations that are enforced by a governing authority, while justice refers to the concept of fairness and moral rightness in the application of the law. While the law provides a framework for regulating behavior and resolving disputes, justice is concerned with ensuring that individuals are treated fairly and equitably within the legal system. In some cases, the law may not always result in a just outcome, leading to a distinction between the two concepts.
