Otto Kahn-Freund (1900-1979) was a German-born legal scholar, later a British subject, regarded as the doyen of British labour law and a major figure in comparative law, who taught at the London School of Economics from 1951 and at Oxford from 1964. He developed the concept of collective laissez-faire, under which the state abstains from regulating relations between employers and trade unions, published an early 1931 critique of the German Reich Labour Court's turn toward fascist doctrine, and helped shape the 1968 Donovan Commission report that influenced later British labour legislation; he was knighted in 1976.
