Standing in Private Law: Powers of Enforcement in the Law of Obligations and Trusts
This book develops the idea that standing is a distinct and separable private law concept that can and should be distinguished more clearly from the more dominant concept of a 'right.' By recognising standing's distinctiveness, debates within private law theory, including torts, unjust enrichment and trusts, are informed and contributed to.
