Personal profile
Research interests
I am interested in the impact of government decisions and their effect on individuals. I have a particular focus on administrative law and those institutions which review government decision-making (such as courts, tribunals and ombudsman).
Through my research I examine the 'broader contexts of law' and how to design effective, coherent and integrated oversight mechanisms. My research has a specific emphasis on tribunals, and this extends beyond administrative law and into sports law and other areas where tribunals are used to resolve disputes.
As a comparativist, I also seek to apply my research into other jurisdictions - to date this has included Pacific Island nations and Canada.
Statement for HDR students
I am interested to offer supervision for HDR students in administrative law. Of specific interest is the impact of government decision-making and associated oversight mechanisms.
I would also be interested to discuss HDR topics in the broad field of public law.
Please note that I am available to act as a Primary Supervisor to LLM students, and as an Associate Supervisor to PhD students.
