"This book examines law and religion from the perspective of its case law. Each chapter focuses on a specific case from a Commonwealth jurisdiction, examining the history and impact of the case, both within the originating jurisdiction and its wider global context. The book contains chapters from leading and emerging scholars from across the Commonwealth, including from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Pakistan, Malaysia, India and Nigeria. The cases are divided into four sections covering: - Foundational Questions in Law and Religion - Freedom of Religion around the Commonwealth - Religion and state relations around the Commonwealth - Rights, Relationships and Religion around the Commonwealth. Like religion itself, the case law covers a wide spectrum of life. This diversity is reflected in the cases covered in this book, which include: - Titular Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur v Home Minister on the use of the Muslim name for God by non-Muslims in Malaysia - The Church of the New Faith v Commissioner of Pay-roll Tax (Vic) which determined the meaning of religion in Australia - Eweida v UK which clarified the application of Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights - R v Big M Drug Mart on the individual protections of religious freedom under the Canadian Charter of Rights. The book examines how legal disputes involving religion are among the most contested in the courts and shows that in these cases, passions run high and the outcomes can have significant consequences for all involved"--

In the article that follows, "The Legacy of Cheques on the Evolution of a Bank Customer's Duties: Enduring Principles regarding Risk Allocation," Sandra Booysen focusses on cheques and the underlying mandate given by customers to their banks.2 Here, Booysen uses a historical perspective to examine the development of the Macmillan and Greenwood duties that require bank customers to exercise care when drawing cheques so as to avoid tampering by a third party. Of particular interest to those interested in consumer protection is McCamus' analysis of the recent Supreme Court of Canada case Uber v. Heller, which pertains to the question of whether a mandatory arbitration clause included in a standard form contract constitutes an unconscionable term. After consideration of the history of payment system regulations in the EU, the paper focusses on cross-border payments and how regulations that were adopted in the late 1990s have helped to cross-border transactions by imposing contractual liabilities for the proper execution of credit transfer orders addressing the payment service value chain. [...]those of us who have worked with Professor Geva in an academic setting (including these authors) will attest to Keefe's lauding of Professor Geva's valuable mentorship, kindness and friendship which have been essential in helping us launch our own careers.

As a direct response to the extensive and ongoing police violence experienced throughout these past two years of struggle in Hong Kong, there has been an increasingly widespread understanding of the police force as structurally undemocratic, unaccountable, and subservient to the interests of elites. This has also led to the articulation by the protest movement of a “sixth demand”— to disband the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) altogether. The remarkable uptake of this demand sparked debate around exactly what dissolution of the HKPF would entail. Would it be reconstitution and reform? Or a more radical type of abolitionist politics? In grappling with this question, we encourage Hongkongers to engage with diverse decolonial and abolitionist struggles across the globe, along with existing and ongoing proto-abolitionist practices at home.
