I am in the Supreme Court waiting for the Dartmoor wild camping case to begin - stay tuned for updates!

The new issue of the Conveyancer features my thoughts on the future of conversion in light of digital assets (and specifically the Law Commission’s work on them). Very happy to see this published after first thinking about this in my LLM dissertation all those years ago

@BarendLeeuwen @DurhamLawSchool Congratulations, Barend!! This is wonderful news

I got a ticket here in the early 80s, for cycling on a footpath. It was called Catte Street. I successfully defended the ticket (discharged w/o conviction) before the Oxford magistrates. The relevant statute prohibited driving a carriage on a footpath by the side of any road.

Yes, what a great conference in an amazing setting for the @MSPropertyLaw 2024 conference. Thanks to @propertylaw1925 , all other organisers, the helpful porters @QueensCam , all presenters, and all the nice folk attending.

Such a pleasure presenting our Supreme Court at 15 paper on the first day of #mspl24 with my wonderful co-author @CatalinaC89

Can’t wait to read this edited collection! Going straight into my list for Santa🎄

Hi #AcademicTwitter! Call for speakers! 🧵 I’m organising an online series of talks, “Women, Property and Economics,” which will bring together early career and established academics, and heritage professionals, working on this topic across 18th and 19th century studies.

Some really good decisions by Westminster Council starting to pay off around the Kings’ end of the Strand.

Lord Leggatt talking about “true” trusts. Lord Burrows asking what exactly *is* the wrong here.

The bench is keen to clarify the fundamentals of knowing receipt: for instance, is there a (constructive) trust?

Byers v Saudi National Bank is being heard in the UKSC!

I enjoyed this event a lot - huge thanks to @MereEquity @FloraVern and their wonderful team @UofGLaw for bringing us all together!
