The Paisley Irregulars Essay Competition in Negligence Law: Call for Submissions
from January 2023
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JUNE 26, 2023
The Paisley Irregulars Essay Competition in Negligence Law was established in 2021 in recognition of the Honourable Martin R. Taylor, K.C., a leader in the exposition of the law and lore of Donoghue v. Stevenson, and in events commemorating its milestone anniversaries.
The Competition is open to Canadian law students and articled students. Papers submitted for academic credit at law school are eligible (which may be revised for submission to the competition). The Paisley Irregulars fund a cash prize of $1,000 to the winning author whose work may be published in the Advocate. Papers will be judged by a committee designated by the Paisley Irregulars.
The topic for this year is:
Donoghue v. Stevenson at 90: a review of the global influence of Donoghue v. Stevenson in the period 1932–2022.
Authors may take either a temporal view (reference to the case over time) or a spatial view (reference to this U.K. case in nonU.K. jurisdictions). Authors may focus on manageable discrete jurisdictions (e.g., Australia (federal and state), Caribbean region, European civil law countries, etc.). The official Competition Rules, details about Mr. Taylor and the Paisley Irregulars and other interesting and useful materials about Donoghue v. Stevenson are available at
