Panel Session - Future Directions

Abstract

Stewart Lee: OK, I’ve learned a lot here. I have learned that delegation means many things to many people, like all of these words we use, and I would hope that somebody will launch a piece of research that will try and encompass all of the meanings, or a closed set of the meanings that delegation has. We have been using delegation as a sort of portmanteau, we could well have used some of the meanings of reliance for instance where we said delegation, and so on. And very often we were talking about delegation without worrying about the side effects: who is liable once we delegate, what happens to the liability when we do the delegation.
