Dr Giancaspro traces its evolution from Roman law to modern contract principles, examining key cases (Stilk v Myrick, Williams v Roffey Bros) and whether courts might come to recognise unconventional forms, such as love, lucky charms, or cryptocurrency.
The event will be followed by a drinks reception.
