This book provides an exhaustive historical and analytical account of the development of the English Law of Conspiracy from its early origins in English common law to its modern form. The author presents an in-depth analysis of the key ideas presented in the historical evolution of the law, starting with the first criminal conspiracy statutes of 1294 and showing how they set a framework within which the law would develop over centuries. The author then discusses how the law expanded and matured, how it was expanded to cover multiple kinds of combinations that had previously been beyond its purview, and the many ways it was defined and redefined over the centuries. The book provides deep insights into the origins of this law and its convoluted development, relating them to the evolving social context of England over the same period. Along the way, the author discusses the crucial cases that have given shape to the law, such as Savile vs. Roberts and Jones vs. Gwynn, which furnish illustrations of how the law was understood at different periods of history, and the complex distinctions between civil and criminal applications of conspiracy law for much of its history. This book is a comprehensive account of the historical development of the Law of Conspiracy from its very beginnings, offering a detailed discussion of the causes and effects of the complex evolution of this area of the law, and handling an impressive quantity of detailed historical information with admirable clarity, offering an impressive new historical resource for scholars of common law as well as practitioners in legal fields.
