    • 2017, Tom W. Bell, From the Nation State to Stateless Nations:
      Unlike contract law, though, tort law focuses on the dark regions of unconsent, revealing how its various types and subtypes range along a scale of justification. Express unconsent – such as the cry “Stop hitting me!” – evokes tort remedies more readily than does mere implied or hypothetical unconsent.
