INDICATIONS OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDING The following cases, in various jurisdictions, have cited my research as the principal rationale for the court’s decision, not simply en passant: o BNP Paribas v Wockhardt EU Operations (Swiss) AG [2009] EWHC 3116 (Comm) (English High Court - Law on Financial Derivatives) o Aberdeen Abdulkader Tyebally v Tyebally Akhtarhusein Hatim [2009] SGHC 81 (Singapore High Court – Law on Financial Derivatives) o Comboni Vincenzo v Shankar’s Emporium (Pte) Ltd [2007] SGHC 55 (Equity & Trusts, 2005) o High Court of Malta. My textbook on Equity & Trusts has been adopted as the main text for equity and trusts courses at a number of universities in the UK, and by professional bodies such as the International Financial Law Practitioners’ Association of Malta to train that jurisdictions lawyers on the enactment of the island’s first trusts law. It was the sole basis for the first decision on trusts law in Malta. My original research into financial derivatives and into modern financial practice has led to recognition at an international level: as evidenced reviewers inter alia in India, by invitations to submit chapters and articles to academic books and journals published outside the UK, by invitations to speak at conferences outside the UK, and by offers to act as an expert witness in litigation concerning the operation of these markets. My treatise The Law of Trusts, co-authored with Geraint Thomas, has been cited with approval inter alia by the High Court of Australia and the English High Court. I am regularly invited speak by professional bodies overseas. Recent examples have included: o an address on the regulation of financial markets and of trusts to the Maltese Financial Services Authority and another address to the International Financial Law Practitioners’ Association of Malta on the international use of trusts law; o a two-day seminar in Geneva on liability for breach of trust and the nature of international trusts law, to an audience including Professors of Law from Paris I (Pantheon - Sorbonne) and judges of the Court de Cassation under the auspices of Academy & Finance SA; o a half-day seminar with the Trusts Companies Association of Japan at their invitation on the topic of financial services regulation of trusts, conducted at the offices of Baker & McKenzie; o a number of invitations to address to the Irish Commercial Law Centre and associated professional organisations on the topics variously of the commercial uses of trusts, the collateralisation of complex financial products, and the documentation of financial derivatives. Each of these invitations resulted from the organisers or members of the professional bodies having read one or other of my books. 13
