 Biography

Professor Grantham's teaching and research interests span two distinct fields. In the field of restitution, his work has led to the development of the "narrow" model which conceives of the law of restitution as a manifestation of considerations of the Aristotelian notion of corrective justice. In the area of company law, Professor Grantham's work focuses on the theoretical nature of the registered company and, in particular, the implications of this nature for the integration of the company as a juristic entity into the general legal system.

Professor Grantham is the author of a number of monographs and casebooks, numerous journal articles, and he has edited four collections of scholarly essays. Professor Grantham is a member of the editorial board of The Company Lawyer and the Journal of Corporate Law Studies and is the Australian editor of the Journal of Business Law.

Professor Grantham was awarded the degrees of Bachelor of Laws in 1984 and Master of Laws with Honours in 1987 by the University of Auckland. In 1985, he was admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand. In 1994, he was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Civil Laws by the University Oxford. In 2007, Professor was awarded the degree of Doctor of Laws by the University of Queensland.

Before coming to the University of Queensland in 2004, Professor Grantham was Professor of Commercial Law and Head of Department at the University of Auckland and Deputy Director of the Research Centre for Business Law.
