Beskrivning

This book explores the application of concepts of fiduciary duty or public trust in responding to the policy and governance challenges posed by policy problems that extend over multiple terms of government or even, as in the case of climate change, human generations. The volume brings together a range of perspectives including leading international thinkers on questions of fiduciary duty and public trust, Australia's most prominent judicial advocate for the application of fiduciary duty, top law scholars from several major universities, expert commentary from an influential climate policy think-tank and the views of long-serving highly respected past and present parliamentarians. The book presents a detailed examination of the nature and extent of fiduciary duty, looking at the example of Australia and having regard to developments in comparable jurisdictions. It identifies principles that could improve the accountability of political actors for their responses to major problems that may extend over multiple electoral cycles.

Recensioner i media

'These stimulating essays confront the incapacity of our democratic and international institutions to meet the challenge of Carbon emissions. The authors canvass the possibility of refining and developing existing legal concepts, including the public trust doctrine, the fiduciary duty, integrity regimes and sovereign trust obligations, so as to breathe life into our institutions and equip them to meet that challenge.' Sir Anthony Mason, AC, KBE, QC, formerly ninth Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia
