The Centre for English Legal History was delighted to host a valedictory lecture by David Ibbetson FBA, Regius Professor of Civil Law on 25th November 2022.
The lecture was chaired by Dr Jonathan Morgan, and Professor Ibbetson was introduced by Mr Justice Foxton.
While it will come as no surprise to learn that David will continue his research for years to come, this lecture marks his retirement from the Regius Professorship of Civil Law.
The Faculty of Law is organising in the 2022-23 academic years three seminars on key public law cases, given by three Yorke Distinguished Visiting Fellows – Lord Carnwath, Lady Hale, and Lord Lloyd-Jones.
The first of these seminars took place on Wednesday 16 November and was given by Lord Carnwath, looking at the Privacy International case. Lord Carnwath gave the leading judgment of the majority in the case. Lord Carnwath and Professor Alison Young talked about the impact of the new ouster clause found in section 2 of the Judicial Review and Courts Act 2022. Lord Carnwath talked about his judgment in this case and the new legislation, with a brief response from Alison Young.
The talk was sponsored by the Centre for Public Law.
