Synopsis:

"Law and the Weaker Party" is the outcome of a partnership, initially forged between the Schools of Law in the Universities of Stockholm and Warwick, which has developed over more than a decade. Building on previous collaboration in the area of industrial relations law, the authors sought to explore, through comparative study, some of the problems encountered by the legal systems of Britain and Sweden in the areas of housing, consumer affairs and employment. The focus of the study was the legal protection of the weaker party in contractual relationships, especially where that protection was seen to be particularly relevant. The idea was not only to make comparisons between the systems of the two countries but also to compare the various fields covered by the project. It was hoped that this would add a new dimension to the classical comparative law approach and allow more fruitful discussion of methods of protection and policy issues. As the project developed, however, the participants found that shifts in public policy, as well as significant developments in the law, brought new issues to the fore which called for special consideration.The resulting modifications in the original design are apparent in the final two volumes of the series, which address changes in Britain and Sweden during the 1980s. These have caused the two countries - which could once have been described as "Welfare States" - to drift further apart in that respect. Nowhere is this more evident than in the regulation of labour relations, although during the course of the decade striking differences also emerged in housing law.
