Private Law and the Market: Business, Finance and Economics
Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore
in collaboration with
EW Barker Centre for Law and Business, NUS
The Conferences of the Private Law Consortium is a series of annual conferences on developments in the field of Private Law. For this Conference, the focus will be on topics exploring the interaction of private law and the market, in particularly the influences, if any, of legal principles or state policies related to growth and employment, the financialisation of economies, and efficiency and empirical studies.
Possible areas of focus may include an economic analysis of private law from efficiency or behavioural perspectives, the political economy of private law eg trusts and wealth inequality, ESG concerns and private law eg directors’ fiduciary and tortious duties to balance profit maximisation and ESG compliance, asset partitioning or nexus of contract perspectives eg of agency, corporate and trust relationships, use of empirical evidence in the private law, and whether and how the needs of business and the economy influence or transform private law adjudication or legislation.
We expect that the first day will focus on these themes with the second more about private law doctrine and theory in general.
The Singapore Journal of Legal Studies has kindly agreed to publish a special issue on articles presented at the Conference subject to the usual refereeing requirements.
