There's 5 lectureships in Law - perfect for ECRs - and 1 senior lectureship in crime or criminal justice, currently up for grabs at Sussex. It's a gorgeously friendly school, at a lovely uni, so I'd recommend going for it! DM me if you have questions!

For the morning crowd: here's my new article on the complex, often subtle relationship between the Crown's prerogatives and the Constitution. In it, I try to make the case for more distinctive Canadian thinking about prerogative powers.

@JCommwlthLaw @DrCiviluOttawa Truly very happy and honored to be a part of this fantastic issue, having my name on your roster of distinguished contributors.

[Paul Daly @pauldalyesq]

This provocative challenge to the orthodox approach to the application of statutes to the Crown is well worth reading. The argument is that the courts have lost their way and need to be redirected. Certainly an issue ripe for (re)consideration in Canada!

"To hold otherwise would be to unwisely and unnecessarily undermine the existing duty on insurers owed to insureds to investigate liability claims fairly, in a balanced and reasonable manner."

[Journal of Commonwealth Law @JCommwlthLaw]

@SCC_eng holds that promissory estoppel may not be asserted where the promisor is unawaare of facts giving rise to estoppel. Constructive knowledge arising from a breach of a duty to investigate is not enough.

[Journal of Commonwealth Law @JCommwlthLaw]

"A promisor cannot intend to alter a relationship by promising to refrain from acting on information that it does not have. Constructive knowledge arising from a breach of a duty to investigate is not enough."
