One of the key aims of the Cambridge Private Law Centre is to promote and encourage the research of the private law. We therefore hold a number of Guest Speaker and ‘Work in Progress’ sessions throughout the year. These provide the opportunity for Cambridge research students, academics and visitors to present their work and receive feedback in a friendly and constructive manner. If you would like to present at one of these sessions, please contact us.
Recent events:
- 'Penalty Clauses from a Comparative Perspective: Different Legal Approaches, Same Functions?', Speaker: Professor Jorge Feliu Rey (University Carlos III of Madrid) / Commentator: Professor Hugh Beale (University of Warwick) (Co-hosted with 3CL): 28 February 2023
The Centre also holds occasional half-day events where academics, judges and practitioners come together to discuss important cases in private law. These include:
- Morris-Garner v One Step (Support) Ltd [2018] UKSC 20, with discussion preceded by a lecture from Sir George Leggatt (now Lord Leggatt): 28 October 2018.
- Pitt v Holt [2013] UKSC 26: 22 November 2013.
