Research interests lie in three main fields: employment law, contract and commercial law, and legal theory. In the field of employment law, a current particular interest concerns the application of human rights principles to the workplace and the employment relation. In relation to contract law, the development of European Community contract law has been a particular interest in recent years. In a combination of legal theory and commercial law, another focus of research has been in the idea of networks as a hybrid form of business organisation that is insufficiently recognised and accommodated by the law.
Recent research grants include: Modern Law Seminar awards in 2001 (with D. Campbell and J. Wightman) leading to 'Implicit Dimensions of Contracts' (Oxford: Hart, 2003), and again in 2006 (with L. Barmes and C. Kilpatrick) on the topic of 'Reconstructing the Contract of Employment'. The Arts and Humanities Research Council awarded Research Leave for 2006 in order to complete a book on European Community Contract Law.
