Background

About Peter Cartwright

I have been Professor of Consumer Protection Law in the School of Law at the University of Nottingham since 2004. I previously worked at Aberystwyth University where I was awarded a Ph.D for research in consumer law. My authored books include Consumer Protection and the Criminal Law (Cambridge University Press, 2001) and Banks Consumers and Regulation (Hart Publishing, 2004). The former won a Society of Legal Scholars’ prize for outstanding legal scholarship and the latter was nominated for the Socio Legal Studies Association Book Prize. My research has been funded by a range of organisations including the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), Law Commission of England and Wales and Financial Services Research Forum. I have served as a member of the Council of the Consumers’ Association and of the Law Society of England and Wales’ Advisory Group on Consumer Law Reform. I currently sit on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Banking Regulation and the Journal of European Consumer and Market Law. I spent several years as a member of the UK Department of Trade and Industry’s Consumer Law Advisory Panel, and as Scientific Director of the European Credit Research Institute, Brussels. I teach in the areas of Consumer and Marketing Law and Criminal Law. In 2011 I was jointly awarded a Lord Dearing Prize for teaching excellence.
