Subject: ODG: The Law of Nuisance: From Victoria Park to the Tate Gallery

 

Dear Colleagues:  

 

Mathew Harrington and I are organizing a workshop (of about 15 people) on the law of nuisance entitled The Law of Nuisance: From Victoria Park to the Tate Gallery to be held in the Barbados and co-hosted by the University of the West Indies on Friday Feb 23 and Saturday Feb 24, 2024. The proceeds of the workshop will be published as a stand-alone issue of the Journal of Commonwealth Law. Final versions of the papers will be due June 1.

 

As things have turned out, we still have 2-3 more spots available for those who might want to participate in the workshop.  Speakers will be expected to fund their own travel and accommodation but meals will be provided.
