Foreword
This year’s edition of the Southampton Student Law Review once again
contains an eclectic mix of papers that reflect the wide variety of research
interests prevalent in Southampton Law School. The combination of
theoretical and doctrinal analyses contained in this volume is testimony to
depth of knowledge and the expertise of Southampton’s graduates and
un dergra duates . This work has oft en been produced alongside th e top ics bein g
studied formally and is generated by a love of the subject and deep curiosity
about the ways in wh ich the law op erat es in court an d in societ y.
The authors selected for inclusion expose some fundamental issues and
tensions within the law today. For instance, theoretical questions are raised
about the application of Foucault’s theories to the law and what they reveal
about the operation of power, while the role of law in relation to the Human
Rights Act 1998, the Court of Justice, and the rule of law with regard to the
constitutional place of the judiciary are also assessed at length. More con crete
concerns from the commercial world are addressed in papers about the legal
rules that apply to hostile takeovers and the complex operation of market
practices. As one might expect from a Southampton Law School publication,
th ere is also a p aper that explores some recen t developments in Mar itime Law,
locatin g them clearlywithin their commercial context. And, reflecting another
of the School’s strengths, issues involving the law’s approach to asbestos
exposure and human health are discussed in detail in a paper that critiques
recent ca se law on the subject.
I am delighted to have had the opportunity to review this latest edition of the
Southampton Student Law Review. I hope and expect that everyone who
discover s it will find it an enlightenin g rea d.
