Making law through practice: examples from commercial law
Manage episode 335713613 series 2610501
Sir Ross Cranston will draw on themes in his recent book, Making commercial law through practice 1830–1970 (Cambridge UP, 2021), emphasising the Australian dimension. He will examine three areas: markets, agency and sales, to show that although the common law provided the backdrop to commercial activity, it was in practice a flexible tool to achieve what the parties wanted.

After graduating from the University of Queensland with university medals in history and political science and law, he undertook post-graduate work at Harvard and Oxford.
