I am an Adjunct Research Fellow and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Western Australia Law School, where I research and teach in the area of private law. I am also a D.Phil candidate at Magdalen College, Oxford, where I am studying specific restitution. 

My research focuses upon the law of unjust enrichment, trusts, contract and tort. I have had articles and notes published in leading English and Australian law journals, including the Law Quarterly Review, Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly, the Australian Law Journal, and many others. My research has been cited by the High Court of Australia, intermediate appellate courts, and by English, Australian and American academics. 

I welcome correspondence, including criticism or requests for feedback. I can be reached at [email protected] or at [email protected].
