Finally for day one, Lorna Richardson analysed what she called the tombola of contractual interpretation in Scotland (including the 2025 case Glenfiddich Wind Ltd), then Hector MacQueen reflected on an attempt to form a UK Contract Code (1966-73). John Blackie then offered concluding thoughts.

Then we heard from Jonathan Ainslie (Solatium), Andrew Simpson (Spuilzie [recovery of possession] and Sinclair’s Practicks), Kenneth Norrie (sexual integrity as an independent interest), and Jonathan Brown (Negotiorum Gestio (benevolent intervention) and the protection of corpus).

The next panel featured Chathuni Jayathilaka (on sale), Laura McGregor (on imputation of knowledge in Scottish partnerships), and Elspeth Reid (on occupiers’ liability and public access to land). In this, Chathuni reflected - positively! - on her PhD viva, which Blackie examined.
