9 February 2011, 6.30pmInaugural LectureEngines of Extravagance: TheRailways since Privatisation

Sean McCartney, Professor ofAccounting and Business History

The privatisation of the railways in Britain was certainly a boldexperiment. Flying in the face of all historical experience, itsprogenitors were convinced that theintroduction of competition wouldimprove the industry’s efficiencyand levels of service and eliminate

its need of subsidy. The railwayswould cease to be a governmentresponsibility. It has not worked outlike this, yet despite its failings, thebasic structure of the privatisedindustry seems to be unquestioned,even if the reasons for it have beenlargely forgotten. Time for a rethink?

16 February 2011, 6.30pmInaugural LectureClass Actions Reform for England:The Legislative and JudicialOpportunities Ahead

Rachael Mulheron, Professor of Law

A sectoral opt-out class action wasalmost enacted in April 2010, butwas culled amidst the ‘wash-up’ ofthe general election. An opportunityto provide, via judicial creativity, a

de facto opt-out class action underexisting court rules, was not takenup in November 2010. Yet, despitethese setbacks, the introduction ofa class action in England is bothnecessary and inevitable.
