David Erdos is a legal researcher and political scientist whose work principally examines privacy and data protection laws. He especially explores how these laws, and associated practices, relate to other important constitutional and societal values including freedom of expression and information. He is funded by the Leverhulme Trust under its Early Career Research Award Scheme. David's published work focuses on explaining Bill of Rights outcomes in the Westminster world (the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia). This work looks both at the immediate triggers behind Bill of Rights adoption and on possible longer-term relationships between such projects and neoliberalism, social heterogeneity and 'postmaterialization'. His monograph on this topic, Delegating Rights Protection, was published by Oxford University Press August 2010. David's new project looks at the origins and development of privacy/data protection law and practices including, in particular, how these relates to, and may conflict with other important societal values such as freedom of expression and freedom of information. In the Hilary Term of 2009, David convened a CSLS seminar series on "Human Investigation and Privacy in a Regulatory Age" which began looking into some of these issues. Following on from this, David has now begun a new three-year Data Protection and Open Society (DPOS) project which examines these issues in more depth. For more information on this project please see http://www.csls.ox.ac.uk/dataprotection. David has presented his research at a number of academic conferences not only in the UK but also in North America and Australasia. Recent papers given include those at the 2010 annual conference of the Political Science Association (UK), 2009 Biannual Conference of the Australian Bar Association, 2008 annual conference of the New Zealand Political Science Association, 2007 annual conferences of the Socio-Legal Studies Association (UK), Political Studies Association (UK), American Political Science Association, Canadian Political Science Association and 2006 annual conference of the Australasian Political Science Association.

Dr Rob George read for his BA in Jurisprudence and MSc in Comparative Social Policy at Trinity College, Oxford, before moving to Lincoln College, Oxford, for his DPhil in Family Law. After five years as a Lecturer at Jesus College (including a year as the College's Senior Law Tutor), he now holds a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, based at University College.

During his British Academy Fellowship, Dr George will be focused on a project entitled "The Realities of Relocation: Analysing Disputes Over Post-Separation Family Migration in the English Trial Courts". This work will continue Dr George's research into legal disputes that arise between separated parents when one proposes moving to a new location with their child. Although these cases are increasingly common, very little is known about their everyday reality in England becuase almost all the information presently available is based on a tiny sample of cases which reach the Court of Appeal. To find out more about cases which are not heard on appeal, Dr George will examine transcripts of judgments from trial courts and will interview litigants involved in relocation disputes. This project contributes to an increasing global debate over the law's regulation of post-separation families in the migration context, and in particular aims to add further information about the English law's position to the international picture.

More generally, Dr George's research interests are in child and family law, broadly conceived, with a particular emphasis on international and comparative aspects of the law and its practice. Dr George has strong links with practising lawyers, including being an Associate Member of Harcourt Chambers.

Ambrose Lee is a political philosopher, working with Professors Andrew Ashworth and Lucia Zedner on the AHRC-funded project ‘Preventive Justice’, which looks at what principles and values should guide and limit preventive action taken by states, and in particular when and in what ways states can and should use the criminal law and criminal law-like instruments as a preventive measure. He is a Research Associate at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and also a guest lecturer for the Division of Law and Philosophy at University of Stirling in Spring 2012 semester lecturing undergraduate jurisprudence.

After completing his BA (Philosophy) at University of Hong Kong in 2006, Ambrose went all the way to Scotland to study for his MLitt in Philosophy with the St Andrews / Stirling Graduate Programme (SASP). Upon completion, he joined the Department of Philosophy at University of Stirling to read for his PhD, which he obtained in 2011 with a doctoral thesis titled "Duties of Minimal Wellbeing and Their Role in Global Justice". Before he joined the law faculty, Ambrose was a lecturer in the Division of Law and Philosophy at University of Stirling lecturing undergraduate metaethics.

Ambrose’s research interests mainly lie in theories of distributive justice, in particular global distributive justice. His doctoral thesis argued for two sets of duties of global justice. On the one hand, there are associative duties of fairness and equality, which are derived from the conception of cooperation at hand. On the other hand, there are universal duties of minimal wellbeing, whose function is to secure a human life for all individuals. The objects of this latter set of duties are developed from a Razian conception of wellbeing.

Besides political philosophy, Ambrose also has a keen interest in metaethics, legal philosophy and moral philosophy. In particular, he is interested in the following issues: value incommensurability, the nature of goodness, the nature of respect, justification of legal punishment, the nature of law, criteria for criminalization, the nature of wellbeing, and its relationship with morality.

When not doing Philosophy, Ambrose likes to scale up rock faces and driving around visiting places.

His main area of interest is constitutional rights theory, combining constitutional law doctrines, comparative materials, and elements of moral and political philosophy in order to develop a general, substantive moral theory of constitutional rights. This starts from the observation that in recent decades, constitutions and constitutional courts around the world have employed strikingly similar approaches to constitutional rights law. On the one hand, there is a trend towards an extremely wide protection of (prima facie) constitutional rights ? including a right to privacy, horizontal effect of constitutional rights, protective duties, and, increasingly, socio-economic rights. On the other hand, courts employ a balancing or proportionality approach to determine the limits of these rights.The constitutional texts, doctrines, and the case law can be reconstructed as one coherent model of constitutional rights, and this model connects to an attractive philosophical account of constitutional rights and judicial review.

Nature of practice:

Practising barrister specialising in business and financial law and in particular reorganisation and insolvency related cases, including EU and other international aspects.

Involved in major “cutting edge” or “frontier” areas of insolvency law.  For example, researched the 18^th and 19^th Century case law relating to the “anti-deprivation” principle and developed a successful argument for an exception to the doctrine based on the old cases in the Court of Appeal in the Perpetual/Belmont case.  Another example is the invention, with a colleague, of the “head office functions test” in relation to the interpretation of Article 3 of the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings (1346/2000), a test approved by the Advocate General in the Eurofood case in the ECJ and followed by national courts in the UK, France, Germany and Hungary and much discussed in the literature in the UK and EU.  The test was in effect adopted by the ECJ in the Interedil case.

• Member of the Review Panel formed by the UK Insolvency Service to assist in considering changes to English law and practice in the light of the EC Insolvency Regulation (1346/2000), which led to a number of changes to English insolvency law.
• Member of the Review Panel set up by the Insolvency Lawyers Association to consider the enactment of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-frontier Insolvency Proceedings in Great Britain and the proposed extension of the Model Law to banks and insurers.  The legislation enacting the Model Law in Great Britain reflected some of the recommendations made.

Journals:

Chairman of the editorial board and frequent contributor to Insolvency Intelligence, a leading refereed journal of insolvency law and to other legal journals.

Judicial role:

Authorised by the Law Chancellor to sit as a Deputy High Court Judge since 2001.  Several reported judgments involved considerable research and analysis of the legal position.  For example Macepark v Sargeant [2004] 3AER 1090 (incidental use of rights of way) involved reconciling a number of authorities including those in the Court of Appeal.  Nexus Communications v Lambert, Times, 3 March 2005 explores the doctrine of election.  Tamares v Fairpoint [2007] 1 WLR 2148, 2167 is the leading case on damages in lieu of injunction in the case of an infringement to rights to light.  Internet Broadcasting Corp Limited v Marr LLC [2009] 2 Lloyd’s Reports 295 is a significant case dealing with exclusion clauses and fundamental breach where the breach is deliberate.  Enviroco Limited v Farstad Supply is now a leading case on the interpretation of the Companies Acts’ definition of “subsidiary” and has just recently appeared in the Supreme Court.
