DESCRIPTION:The Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law i
 nvites you to a 2018-2020 Civil Law Workshop with Sarah Worthington\, Down
 ing Professor of the Laws of England and Director of the Cambridge Private
  Law Centre\, Cambridge University\, United Kingdom.\n\nAbstract\n\nThis l
 ecture will address the reliance that the common law\, and equity in parti
 cular\, place on the idea of property\, and in particular what is achieved
  by that reliance.\n\nOf course\, the practical power of the trust and all
  that it enables in both commercial and domestic settings is well known. B
 ut I want also to move beyond that feature and address the notion that rel
 iance on the idea of property enables difficult policy choices to be injec
 ted into judicial decisions in an astonishingly subliminal way. Property l
 aw has the reputation for being politically neutral and doctrinally rigoro
 us\, with any practical conclusions following from the very nature of thin
 gs rather than requiring any normative assessment. That view appears flawe
 d. This is an idea I have addressed periodically\, but it seems apt to rev
 isit it in the context of this series of lectures.\n\nAbout the Civil Law 
 Workshops\n\nIn order to promote fundamental research in private law\, the
  Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law initiated the “
 Civil Law Workshops” series\, bringing together jurists from Québec and be
 yond to work on related research topics. With their cross-disciplinary foc
 us\, the “Civil Law Workshops” contribute to enriching and stimulating fun
 damental research in private law.\n\nThe 2018-2020 series of Civil law wor
 kshops explore 'Les influences en droit privé'.\n\nThe workshops are prese
 nted with financial assistance from Justice Canada’s Access to Justice in 
 Both Official Languages Support Fund.\n\nRegistration is not required.\n\n
 Each workshop has been accredited for 1.5 hour of continuing legal educati
 on by the Barreau du Québec and the Chambre des notaires du Québec. \n
