Professor Hugh Collins says that "freedom of contract" ensures "elementary respect for the dignity, autonomy and equality of citizens." Moreover, he says that "the parties are likely to have the best information about where their interests lie, and therefore they should be permitted to forge a compromise between their competing interests without interference by a paternalistic state." Which theoretical perspective do you think underlies Professor Collins' thinking? Do you agree, why or why not? And explain which perspective most closely resembles your own thinking and why?
