On the 25 and 26 September, the Faculty will host Personal Property in the 21st Century, a colloquium for invited speakers and guests.
In the early 2000s, Peter Birks lamented that personal property law and the scholarship around it was in a poor state. The aim of the colloquium is to examine whether the position today, some twenty years later, is any better. Have the conceptual foundations of the subject improved? How has it responded to major social developments and emerging technologies? Is it able to deal with the new challenges that modern conditions bring with them?
Space is very limited, but the organisers (Jonas Atmaz Al-Sibaie and Luke Rostill) would be pleased to try to accommodate any Faculty member who wishes to attend. Please contact them if you are interested.
