I am the Senior Law Fellow at Brasenose College and Professor of Law in the Oxford University Law Faculty. I chair the faculty’s teaching groups in Trusts, Restitution, and Personal Property. Before coming to Oxford, I held posts at a number of other English universities, including University College London and Trinity College, Cambridge.

I am the editor of several books, including The Quistclose Trust: Critical Essays. My research interests focus particularly on the intersection between trusts and restitution, and a number of my articles on this topic have been cited in the English courts, most notably by the House of Lords in Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale v Islington LBC [1996] AC 669.

I am a contributor to Halsbury’s Laws of England (4th ed, reissue) and wrote the section entitled ‘Property’ in Burrows (ed), English Private Law (3rd ed, 2013). I am a founding editor of the Restitution Law Review and have held visiting professorships at several universities, including Seoul National University, the National University of Singapore, Renmin University of China, and the University of Paris II (Panthéon-Assas).

I am an academic associate at the leading commercial chambers One Essex Court (chambers of Lord Grabiner QC), lecture regularly at the Universities of Hong Kong and Melbourne, and am an academic member of the Chancery Bar Association.
