Lord Wedderburn of Charlton
The Author celebrates Harold Laski, the well known socialist scientist who taught for a great part of his life at the London School of Economics, and his contribution to the understanding of the relationship between the principies of common law - conditioned as they were by the Class origin of the law itself and of the Judges - and the legislation enacted by Parliament, particularly in labour law.
The Author, starting from several arguments proposed by Laski in the cultu- ral frame of that period, develops a severe analysis of the role which has been played - and still is - by the common law courts in creatíng obstacles to the rise of a full recognition of the ínternationally accepted fundamental individual and collective rights of labour. In this frame, the last paragraphs are devoted to the possible evolution connected with the European legislation. The essay ends with an appeal never to abandon the battle for a positive affirmation of labour's ri- ghts.
