A Purposive Approach to Labour Law: Oxford Labour Law

Autor Guy Davidov
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mai 2018
The mismatch between goals and means is a major cause of crisis in labour law. The regulations that we use - the legal instruments and techniques - are no longer in sync with the goals they are supposed to advance. This mismatch leads to a problem of coverage, where many workers who need the protection of labour law are not covered by it, as well as a problem of obsoleteness, as labour laws are not sufficiently updated in light of dramatic changes in the labour market. Adopting a purposive approach to interpretation and legislative reform, this volume addresses this crisis of mismatch. It first articulates the goals of labour law, both general and specific, through an in-depth normative discussion and a consideration of critiques. The book then proceeds to reconsider our means, asking what we need to change or improve in the laws themselves in order to better advance the goals. Some of the proposed solutions are at the level of judicial interpretation, others at the legislative level. The book offers several examples of the way a purposive analysis should be performed in concrete cases. It also recommends institutional structures that are suited to ongoing adaptation of the law to ensure that our goals are advanced even when circumstances frequently change. Finally, in response to the crisis of enforcement in this field, which frustrates the achievement of labour law's goals, several proposals to improve compliance and enforcement are considered.

Recenzii

An indispensable read for anyone who is involved with labour law and even more so for those who believe labour law is superfluous, outdated or unnecessary. Guy Davidov's book is an excellent way to understand [the topic] in its entirety, its fundamentals, goals, and purpose, its potential and limits, as well as the need to develop a purposive approach to labour law.
The book is nothing less than the most comprehensive and judicious mapping of attempts at problem-solving in contemporary labour law scholarship and practice (with a tilt toward the Anglophone world) that could have been imagined ... This, then, is labour law for pragmatists - that is, for practitioners and scholars in search of concrete solutions to labour law's enduring dilemmas ... This pragmatist's guide will inform policy makers and researchers already in the field, while educating a new generation of labour lawyers, who on coming to the subject, will find that solutions are after all available to some perennial problems.
The book is a passionate, thoughtful, and comprehensive [treatment] of the praxis of labour law. It spans over many countries in its examples, but crystalizes some basic truths about labour and the law.
Davidov demonstrates how the gap between theory and practice can be bridged ... This incredibly readable and thought-provoking book deserves to be widely read ... and raises many fascinating issues which merit further research.
This book provides a welcome reappraisal of labour law as a discipline. Davidov's approach reminds labour lawyers that 'laws are meant for a reason' and that only by understanding the historic role that labour law has played can we understand its place and purpose today. A Purposive Approach to Labour Law is a book about what law should and could be.
