Later, he expressed doubts about whether the funds would be wisely spent by the state, but still emphatically maintained that associations’ corporate lives were a mere legal fiction, always subject to revision by the state as needed. This is precisely the view that Maitland’s historical work on trusts, and Figgis’ theoretical work on churches, was meant to combat.

Levy social actors with a real need to act corporately, common law and civil law alike were pushed to accommodate. In other words, where Acton noticed only political ideas and public law, with liberty arising accidentally, Maitland perceived legal ideas and private law, with the freedom of group life always being pressed from below. The union of Actonian liberalism and Gierkean medievalism was thus not Acton’s own project. It was, especially, Maitland’s and Figgis’. It is that union that makes the British pluralists distinctive within anglophone liberalism.
