βFull Project Title: 'Britainβs foreshore β time for the Crown Estate to let go, and other matters'
Doctoral Researcher: Hugh Davis
Supervised by: Dr Marie Parker-Jones and Dr Gwilym Owen
Why is the foreshore vested in the Crown? Well, actually only 50% is. How did it get there? Does this chime with modern expectations, sat the βRight to Roamβ? The work traverses Roman Law, Saxon law, through the Norman Conquest and the current βprima facieβ position. What do other jurisdictions do? How to balance private law rights with Joe Publicβs aspirations.
