He did. Finn Rules . I thought the Birks then had the Birks
rules, but Finn had done it a few decades earlier.

Didn't he invent the Finn seminar format?
i.e. invited participants, speakers' papers circulated in advance, final
publication. I'm sure Peter Birks adopted it at All Souls and called it
"Finn-style" or something similar.

RHYBUDD: Daeth yr e-bost hwn o'r tu allan i Brifysgol Abertawe. Peidiwch chlicio ar atodiadau neu agor atodiadau oni bai eich bod chi'n adnabod yr anfonwr a'ch bod yn gwybod bod y cynnwys yn ddiogel.Many RDG members will have heard the sad news of the passing of Paul Finn, after two brilliant careers as an academic and a judge. The tribute from ANU is here:
Paul Finn studied at the University of Queensland (BA, LLB) and did his doctorate at Cambridge under the supervision of Len Sealy. His prize-winning thesis was the foundation of his justly famous book, Fiduciary Obligations (1977). After teaching for many years at ANU, and publishing extensively in legal history and public law as well as in private law, he was appointed to the Federal Court of Australia in 1995.
A longer tribute provides more detail and suggests, somewhat to my surprise, that Finn s argument that fiduciary standards rightly apply to the exercise of public power emphasised his place as an outsider. To my mind, this was one of Finn s most brilliant contributions and one which is certain to endure.
