Subject: Obligations II conference

Andrew Robertson and Michael Bryan may be too modest to draw attention to the success of the Obligations II conference which they organised and which was held at the Law School of the University of Melbourne on Thursday and Friday, 15 and 16 July. From my perspective it was run most efficiently and provided lots of stimulation. Other members of the list who were present might like to comment.

For those who were not there, Andrew and Michael decided that the conference should be dedicated to the memory of Peter Birks. After the Dean's welcome, Peter Cane opened the proceedings with a personal tribute to Peter Birks. At the first Obligations Conference two years ago, there was no doubt that Peter Birks, though not physically present, dominated much of the discussion.

A selection of the papers from that first conference was published in time for the second one by Cavendish. Members of the list who were not present on this occasion may like to look out for that publication.
