Law cluster
Cluster lead: Dr Benjamin Andoh
Defence of the person and of property. The law cluster’s research focuses on the defence of the person and of property, because the present law on the topic is unclear and therefore unsatisfactory.
Staff involved:
-
Dr Benjamin Andoh

Accalia Atkinson

Phil Jones

Simon Parsons

Brenda Watts
The position under the criminal law will be compared with that under the civil law, and related issues of human rights and legal theory will also be examined. Recommendations will then be made for improvement of the law.
The project will benefit our students on the LLB in particular, as it will feed into our teaching of criminal law, tort and human rights law.
Other outputs could include articles in refereed and professional journals, and seminars to employers and practitioners.
