This episode features Professor Sarah Green who has just finished a four year tenure as Law Commissioner for Common and Commercial Law.
During that time Sarah’s law reform work included the Electronic Trade Documents Act 2023, Advice to the Government on Smart Contracts, updating the Arbitration Act 1996, scoping reforms to the law of Intermediated Securities and drafting guidance and a bill to ensure that English Law is well suited to accommodate Digital Assets.
We speak about the journey of crypto assets becoming property at common law and why that was important, to where we are now, with legislation looking to define "things" as property, using a negative definition proposed by the Judiciary.
Sarah is now the head of Digital Assets and Trade Finance at D2 Legal Technology, and a Professor of Law at Bristol University.
