Welcome!

To all those reading this I am David Gibbs; I am a Lecturer in Law at the University of East Anglia.

I created this blog as a general out-let of ideas for my research, as well as keeping those interested up-to-date on my research and general interests.

I completed my PhD thesis at the University of East Anglia in 2014. The thesis was recommended for the award of PhD with no corrections. My external examiner was Prof. Simon Deakin (Cambridge) and internal examiner was Prof. Morten Hviid.
My PhD research centred on directors' duties and company law. The thesis was titled 'Non-Executive Self-Interest: Fiduciary Duties and Corporate Governance'. It was a doctrinal and empirical study on whether self-interest was suitably controlled amongst non-executive directors.

My supervisors were Prof. Mathias Siems, Prof. Duncan Sheehan, Dr. Sara Connolly and Dr. Rob Heywood

Case Study

The University of Derby contacted me the other day asking to do a case study on my time at University and what I am doing now.

It has just been published on their website.

Having this sort of advertisement or publicity for the University appears to me very beneficial, especially other case studies that have been done in video format. It caters to the needs of all potential students when they are assessing which University to attend and which course to undertake. Having a clear message from previous students about what life is like on the course given to them in a variety of manners can only have a positive effect on recruitment.

I am in the process of writing a slightly lengthier blog on my work regarding my research on a fiduciary's duty of loyalty and the debate surrounding the no-profit and no-conflict rules. WATCH THIS SPACE.
