EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION

As the new Editors of the Denning Law Journal, we are proud to 

present the 2017 edition, which continues the tradition of the University of 
Buckingham’s Law School of commissioning and publishing the very best 

in legal scholarship from a variety of perspectives and across a broad 

range of subjects. 
Building on the precedent of the hugely successful Magna Carta 

(2015) Edition in 2016, we published a Special Edition on ‘Energy: 
Contemporary Issues in the Oil and Gas Sector’ in 2016. In 2017 the 

Denning Law Journal returns to its generalist nature, publishing a wide 
range of scholarship addressing, inter alia, criminal law, land law and 

commercial law.  
We would like to convey our admiration and gratitude to Professor 

Susan Edwards, from whom we have inherited the Editorship. Her tireless 
dedication to the Denning Law Journal, both as a contributor and solicitor 

of contributions, has been invaluable.  
Tribute and gratitude must also be paid to our enthusiastic and 

hardworking student editors for their invaluable assistance with proofing 
and editing.  

We remain honoured to be uniquely permitted to use the name of our 
late patron, Lord Denning.
