“The Creativity of Commercial Law”: Public Lecture by Sir Roy Goode

Thursday 29 January 2015
6.30pm
Main Arts Lecture Theatre, Bangor University (College Road, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 2DG)

Celebrating its ten year anniversary, Bangor University Law School will host a major public lecture by Professor Sir Roy Goode QC on the topic of the creativity of commercial law.

Commercial law is very largely the story of the way in which commercial law has constantly had to evolve in order to accommodate new techniques designed by imaginative businessmen and their lawyers to facilitate domestic and cross-border trade and make it more efficient. In a wide-ranging survey, Professor Goode will look at the evolution of negotiable instruments and documents of title; the move from certificated to dematerialised and intermediated investment securities; and the problems of cross-border transactions and their resolution through international instruments, such as the Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods. The lecture will conclude with a brief account of the highly successful Cape Town Convention on international interests in mobile equipment, and its associated Protocols as an exemplar of how problems can be overcome.
