Andrew Cash

Andrew is a senior lecturer in the Law School.  He has a background in private practice, having been a commercial lawyer from 1994 to 2008 advising both public and private sector clients on transactional work.  His pedagogy now reflects that experience and is centred around professional legal skills with a business emphasis.  

Andrew's research interests are in two distinct but related areas: land law/conveyancing and the law of restitution.  The first of these is linked to his practice experience, and his focus here is to identify practical solutions to the difficulties faced by property professionals, often arising from antiquated yet rigid legal rules.  The second area, restitution for unjust enrichment, is the broad topic of Andrew's PhD, which he is in the process of completing.  Specifically he is examining the normative justification for unjust enrichment as a cause of action as distinct from rights deriving from contract, tort or the law of property.
