Overview

Andrew joined The City Law School as Professor of Law in November 2012. He is also the immediate past Associate Dean (Research and Enterprise) of the Law School.

His published work has been cited in judgments in the decisions of various appellate courts, including the House of Lords, the UK Supreme Court, the Privy Council, the Supreme Court of Canada, the High Court of Australia, the New Zealand Supreme Court and the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights.
