If one views law and equity as the flesh and bones of the law, litigation funding would probably be the lifeblood that nourishes them. This stream of lifeblood has been running through the English system and those that are closely mirrored on it for centuries. Such systems have however constantly suffered from a condition known as the “English disease of costs”. The chief symptoms of this disease include costs being “unpredictable, disproportionate and unlimited.”1 These in turn lead to costs which act as a barrier to justice. It is not that English law failed to pay heed to the law of costs. Rather, all the time and effort spent on the law of costs has failed to cure the disease: it has in fact merely served as a constant reminder of the seriousness of the ailment. Public outcry against the obscene legal costs of this system has echoed from the early days of the common law to the present day. There have been no lack of reform attempts. In fact, if one cares to look through the pages of history, reforms and proposals promising to bring down the obscene costs in English law have come and gone. Some achieve minor victories, while the vast majority have, on the whole, been utter failures. Against this historical backdrop, with the coming into force of the relevant provisions of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, the Jackson reforms are the latest contender in a thousand-year English war against costs. There are repercussions and recurring themes in the history of costs that we never seem to be able to break off from. The reform of the law of costs went around in cycles, and the Jackson reforms were no exception to this historical pattern. There is a need to look into the historical development of the law when engaging in the reform of procedural law. After all, “[w]hat has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun”,2 and this would be particularly true in the context of civil procedural reform. This article is thus an attempt to provide a brief historical account of the law of costs, and to draw parallels between the Jackson reforms and previous laws, in the hope that these would provide a better understanding of our current law. – To introduce students to fundamental principles of the English law of civil procedure and civil evidence, which would serve as a conceptual framework for the further study of common law subjects and comparative study. – To equip students with essential knowledge on civil litigation in England and other jurisdictions similar to it. – To engage students in debates on both perennial and recent topics and challenges faced by the English law of civil procedure & civil evidence. NB It must be noted that due to the categorisations under English law, administrative litigation procedure would fall within civil procedure and thus the syllabus would also cover it.

Addressing legacies of pervasive human rights and humanitarian law violations is essential to breaking cycles of violence. But trying to render justice for victims of mass atrocity and violations raises large conceptual and practical difficulties, particularly when a states political balance is delicate, society is divisive, prevailing narratives of the past are irreconcilable, resources are limited, and international actors get involved. Transitional justice has emerged as an approach to achieving justice in these complex settings, when states are emerging from conflict and authoritarian rule. This course is designed to provide students with an introductory understanding of transitional justice theory and the challenges faced when applying that theory in real contexts of transition to address legacies of mass human rights and humanitarian law violations. The course is based on the Socratic teaching method, which requires student participation in class discussion. Students are expected to read assignments before coming to class. In addition to lectures and class discussions, a range of experiential and participatory learning methods will be employed, including group projects, presentations, and role plays. All instruction, discussions, assignments, and examinations, including all student input, will be conducted in English. College of Law JAMES KENG-HUI LIN LAW5357 1

Introduction to the law and economics of civil law with German landmark cases The course will provide a concise introduction to the law and economics of civil law. In an introductory part it will deal with the crucial role of law and institutions for the wealth of a nation. It will then proceed to the law and economics of contract law, tort law and property law, first presenting the economic analysis and then discuss hard cases decided by the German Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof). The cases will be based on a book jointly written with Hein Kotz, author of an acclaimed book on comparative law. Then questions of contract law including the good faith principle from an economic perspective and related cases will be discussed. We will also discuss the most important questions of tort law including its rationale, scope and weaknesses regarding the improvement of safety in a modern society. The part on property will concentrate on intellectual property and the tragedy of the anticommons as well as the law of taking and regulatory taking and related economic problems. Literature will be distributed to all participants. Knowledge of German Language is welcome but not necessary. The aim of the course is a better and more scientific understanding of socially desirable consequences of civil law rules . The course also shows which role law and economics can play within doctrinal reasoning in a civil law country like Germany. College of Law JOHANNES-BERNHARD SCHAFER LAW5358 1
