Description:
Sexually Transmitted Debt is the first major study of an increasingly evident social and legal problem: the provision of third party loan security by a spouse/partner for the business debts of the other spouse/partner. This book is unique in its multi-faceted approach to the issue comprising detailed legal analysis and consideration of relevant sociological literature, backed up by empirical research. The result is a very readable text in which the gapbetween the law and practical experience clearly emerges.
Synopsis:
This book is the first major study of an increasingly evident legal and social problem: spouses and partners (particularly wives) who provide third party loan security for the business liabilities of their other spouse or partner. Unlike other texts in this field, Fehlberg specifically considers the legal rules which apply to surety wives in England, with reference to other Commonwealth jurisdictions, particularly Canada and Australia. The law is then considered in the context of sociological literature relevant to surety experience. The particular uniqueness of this book is that legal and sociological literature are then tested against empirical research involving interviews with sureties, and other main parties involved in surety transactions. Significantly the latter underlines the discrepancy between the 'public' legal perspective on providing security and 'private' complex experiences and motivations which pertain within intimate relationships. Given this situation, the author considers various legal reforms which could improve the position of sureties, but emphasises that the ultimate solution for sureties involves more fundamental social change.
