Leaving Banff after a wonderful, reflective & inspiring week at the Biennial Obligations Conference, hosted by great team @westernuLaw (not all of whom seem to be on twitter, but many thanks to Zoe, Joanna - @JoannaLangille - and Jason, and to Andrew Robertson) @ObsConf

Team Cambridge @ObsConf: A celebration of all things Private Law #ObligationsX

Having the time of my life @ObsConf - wonderful to be in beautiful Banff with some of private law’s most thought-provoking scholars (and it turns out they’re great fun to hang out with, too!)

Delighted to speak on a panel with @snailsinbottles and Margaret Hall @ObsConf today on ‘Tort law and the State:Anglo-Australian approaches to compensating victims of child sexual abuse’. Great session and 🙏 to the audience for their questions! #obsxbanff

Wonderful opening panel at #ObsxBanff. Great to see everyone again – and many new faces – after a 5-year hiatus.

Dean @westernuLaw @lawdeanerika Erika Chamberlain opening the Obligations Conference with a warm welcome and tribute to the organisers. It is indeed so good to be back in the same room with brilliant private law colleagues from across the world. @ObsConf #ObsxBanff

Looking forward to Obligations X tomorrow. Hopefully it will stop raining at some point ☔️

Spectacular venue for #ObsxBanff, starting tomorrow.

The Obligations Conference is now 20 years old! 🥳 The 20th anniversary of the first Obligations Conference @MelbLawSchool in 2002 passed unnoticed in February. Not much to celebrate until we can start meeting again, but hopefully the regular schedule can resume next year.🤞🏼

Sadly, the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic have made it necessary to postpone Obligations X: ‘Private Law and the State’ until 2023. We plan to hold the conference at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta on July 11–14 2023.

Obligations X (Banff, Alberta, July 11–15 2022) will address the theme ‘Private Law and the State’. A call for papers is now open. Full details at obsconf.com/obsx
