Susan Bright has been teaching in Oxford since 1992. She joined New College as a Fellow in 2004, having previously been a Fellow at St Hilda's College. She qualified as a solicitor in London, practising in the field of commercial property. At Oxford, she teaches land law, contract law, commercial leases, and housing and human rights.
Her writing is mainly in the field of real property law, especially landlord and tenant law. Her current research interests focus around the home in land law and ‘green leases’. In relation to the home, her work explores the legal models that are used for delivering affordable home ownership, and the considerations that come into play during the legal process when a home is lost. She is currently involved in an empircal project exploring the extent to which non-financial considerations are taken into account in possession cases. Sue’s green lease work is focussed on the commercial property sector and considers the hurdles and opportunities that leasing patterns present to improving the energy performance of the commercial built environment. A selection of Sue's papers can be accessed on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) at: http://ssrn.com/author=529157 Sue has been appointed to sit as a part time Lawyer Chair of the Residential Property Tribunal Service.

This article reviews the case law on whether attempts to avoid tenancy regulation work. It sets out the approaches that can be seen being used in the cases to determine if agreements are geniune or not, and argues that the approach taken by the Court of Appeal in Bankway Properties went beyond the traditional use of the doctrine.
