ItemReplevin and the Paradox of English Chattel PropertyBrennan, DJ (SAGE Publications, 2007-12)In English law, property has been classified, originally by Bracton, as either ‘personal’ or ‘real’ by reference to differing remedial consequences. T. Cyprian Williams has concisely explained this to mean that the terms convey the notion of a right to compensation associated with personal property, and a right to specific restitution associated with real property. However, the term ‘property’ itself has been defined more fundamentally to express the value of a ‘right to exclude’, or as expressed in its corollary, ‘immunity from expropriation’. This raises the question whether the term ‘personal property’, if not an oxymoron, is at least a paradox by denying within its conception an as-of-right entitlement to exclude. This essay explores the extent to which the ancient action of replevin, which provides an as-of-right common law entitlement to the redelivery of a chattel, might address that paradox. In so doing it tracks the origins and evolution of replevin in England, and describes the role of replevin in modern US law. It arrives at a conclusion that replevin has survived into twenty-first century common law, and by so doing makes difficult any absolute claim derived from Bracton about the absence of a common law right to specific restitution for chattel property.

ItemPriggish, Pitiless, and Punitive or Proud, Passionate, and Purposeful? Dichotomies, Sexual Harassment, and "Victim-Feminism"Morgan, J (UNIV TORONTO PRESS INC, 2005)Australia's version of the popular genre of the "victim-feminism" debate played out via a case of sexual harassment in a university college, in which two young women alleged that they had been sexually harassed by the master [chief executive officer] of their college. This event became much more than a matter of parochial interest when one of Australia's best-known novelists decided to write a book about it. The book generated enormous media attention, though this was often very polarized and not very useful in furthering our understanding of sexual harassment. However, there was some interesting debate in the wake of the book that did manage to transcend the dichotomy of "power" versus "powerlessness." La version australienne du débat populaire du « féminisme de victimisation » s'est déroulée par le biais d'un cas de harcèlement sexuel dans un collège universitaire, dans lequel deux jeunes femmes ont allégué avoir été harcelées sexuellement par le maître [p. d.g.] de leur collège. Cet événement a eu une portée qui déborde largement son lieu d'origine lorsque l'une des romancières les plus connues en Australie a décidé d'écrire un livre à ce sujet. Le livre a été trèsmédiatisé, bien que les reportages aient été souvent très polarisés et sans grande utilité pour approfondir notre compréhension du harcèlement sexuel. Il y a eu, néanmoins, dans la foulée de la publication du livre, un débat intéressant qui a réussi à transcender la dichotomie du « pouvoir » face à « l'impuissance ».
