ABSTRACT

Perhaps the broadest difference then between the bulk of the contributions to this collection and

to New Perspectives on Property Law, Human Rights and the Home is that many of the contributors

to that collection are sufficiently confident to suggest that it is possible to outline a taxonomy of the

topic, whereas the theorists find the categories themselves problematic. For the commercial and

restitution lawyers the principal problem is the expression of the law and the lack of neatness in its

organisation; whereas for the others the main difficulty is of identifying the norms appropriate to

deal with socially-located problems.
