About

Overview

Prof Jason Chuah FRSA is Professor of Commercial and Maritime Law and, formerly, Head of Department. He has held scholarships from Barclays Bank and the UK Overseas Development Authority at St Johns College, Cambridge University. He was the holder of the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Award and the Cambridge Commonwealth Fellowship and also has a Certificate in Export with Distinction from the Institute of Export, winning the Clive Schmitthoff Commercial Law prize and the Sweet & Maxwell book prize.

Jason is Executive Director of the London Universities Maritime Law and Policy Group and has been nominated three times for the Oxford University Press Award for Best Law Teacher of the Year. He teaches Commercial, Maritime, Energy and Project Finance Law.

He is a peer review of the Arts and Humanities Research Council and has been involved in various consultations with the Ministry of Justice, the OECD, the ICC, the Association of British Insurers, the UNCITRAL, etc. He also serves as a member of the Consultative Group on Sustainable Shipping for the UN Global Compact and has contributed to the highly influential ICC-ECCO International Good Practice Guide for Offsets.

He is especially interested in the regulatory role of Private Law, especially mercantile law, in the common law tradition. He has written thus about how contract law might respond to the sustainability imperative. As a commercial maritime lawyer, he also examines how shipping law has been shaping general contract and property law thinking. His works have been cited by the CJEU, EU Institutions, courts and tribunals in the US, UK and Asia. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
