Richard Hooley

Professor Hooley's research interests lie in the fields of contract, commercial and banking law. He is probably best known for his work in the areas of payment and payment systems. He is particularly interested in the issues thrown up by new forms of electronic payment and the way that the courts have use principles of English common law to deal with them. In a similar manner, he is interested in the way that English commercial law had adapted to modern business practices and the needs of the mercantile community.
