WHO – WHOM? UNRESOLVED ISSUES IN JUDICIAL REVIEW INAUGURAL LECTURE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BUCKINGHAM MAY 29TH 2007

Abstract

It is a great pleasure for me to lecture at the University of Buckingham, of which my late father Lord Beloff was the founding father, and my son Rupert obtained first class honours in law and won the Palamountain prize for excellence.  It seems that as a mere visiting Professor I take third place in my family’s quest for this innovative University’s honours.   This is, of course, an inaugural lecture and I express the modest hope that it will sufficiently command your attention to guarantee that it will not be a valedictory one as well.  My duties as visiting Professor are to give a minimum of a single lecture over four terms – not the most testing of obligations but one more demanding than that of an Oxford Professor who, when asked what he did to earn his stipend, explained “I give an annual lecture – but not, you understand, every year”.
