His research interests lie primarily in UK Public Law, with a focus on constitutional dynamics, executive power, delegated legislation, Henry VIII clauses, and judicial oversight. He explores how constitutional principles like parliamentary sovereignty are tested during crises and how courts respond to executive overreach.
His recent publications analyze themes such as excessive executive dominance, the constitutional implications of fast-tracked legislation, Brexit-related executive power expansion, and judicial interventions like in the Miller 2 case. These works demonstrate a consistent engagement with evolving constitutional facts and the judiciary’s role in maintaining balance.
