Balancing conflicting interests

Andrew Mitchell offers an introduction to this wide-ranging Concepts of Law topic, focusing on the essential issues for an examination answer

INGRAM

This article relates specifically to the AQA A2 Unit 4: Concepts of Law topic ‘Balancing Conflicting Interests’ and it informs a broader understanding of English Legal System and Substantive Law topics across the AQA, OCR and WJEC specifications.

The topic of balancing conflicting interests is primarily concerned with legal disputes. The question ‘Why do legal disputes occur?’ provides a useful starting-point. Such disputes are many and varied, and differ according to the types of law concerned, but a common thread that can be identified is a claim for certain rights or a breach of certain duties.
