The Duty to Disclose: A clash of law and morality
Shy Jackson
May 2008
A paper based on the Commended entry in the Hudson Prize essay competition 2007.
English law seldom imposes a duty to disclose information: in construction, should duties to disclose be imposed or recognised more widely? Shy Jackson considers the boundary between ethical and legal duties and the implications for construction of wider duties to disclose or inform.
Introduction - Present law on disclosure - The exceptions to the rule - Construction: practical questions - The ethical dimension - Conclusions.
