{"product_id":"9781509972142","title":"Wards of Court and the Inherent Jurisdiction","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis open access book explores the High Court's powers under its inherent jurisdiction and wardship in relation to children and incapacitous and vulnerable adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book introduces the inherent jurisdiction and investigates its place in the modern law. Part 1 provides a comprehensive history of the inherent jurisdiction, before giving a detailed account of the core principles and procedure applicable today, and comparing the approaches taken in Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Part 2 considers the court's use of its inherent jurisdiction in specific categories of case, including child abduction, medical decision-making about children, child protection, incapacitous and vulnerable adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its ancient roots, the inherent jurisdiction is relied on by High Court judges on a daily basis, in both everyday and cutting-edge cases. This book argues that the court's approach to some of these cases is justified, but that judges often make unnecessary and inappropriate use of the inherent jurisdiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough its critical examination of the modern use of wardship and the inherent jurisdiction, the book is essential reading for practitioners and researchers working in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49872309584120,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":235.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781509972142-1.jpg?v=1783712605","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/ja\/products\/9781509972142","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
