CV / Biography
Philip's research is in English public law, with a particular focus on administrative law (judicial review). His doctoral research, for which he was awarded the University of Cambridge’s Yorke Prize, was on the development of the judicial review process in the nineteenth century. His research has been cited widely, including by the High Court of Australia and in the UK government’s independent review of administrative law. More broadly, Philip is interested in legal history, Roman law, the civil law tradition, and ecclesiastical law.
