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.
