The Beatles and the Law

Our second 130-year anniversary event took place on Monday 16 October 2023 with an entertaining and informative lecture by Mr Justice Foxton entitled 'The Beatles and the Law'.

Sir David Foxton's lecture was both informative and humorous. Sir David took the audience through a number of cases that related to the Beatles and their litigation history, as well as some broader Beatles and Liverpool history. The thoroughly entertaining lecture had something for the lawyers who were present, the Beatles scholars, and the general public who had come to hear the lecture.



The lecture was delivered in conjunction with the Liverpool Business and Property Court Forum (LBPCF) and the University of Liverpool’s School of Law and Social Justice, which is celebrating its 130th anniversary.
