Personal profile
General
Martin is a Senior Lecturer at Aston Law School. His research focuses on financial regulation (particularly investor protection law) and statutory interpretation. He previously taught at the University of Oxford, the University of Zurich (Switzerland) and the University of Halle (Germany). He held visiting research positions at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (London), the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (London), the University of Cambridge, the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law (Hamburg) and iCourts at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark).
Martin's most recent book “Judicial law-making in English and German courts” (2018) is “a valuable study of how two jurisdictions approach the task of statutory interpretation in a complex and multivalent constitutional environment. It is the product of considerable scholarship across the two jurisdictions and a fine sensitivity to the various factors and different theoretical dimensions which inform the interpretative exercise. The exposition is clear. The argument is forceful. As with all the best works of comparative law, one reads this book and learns as much about one’s own legal system as about the system with which it is compared.” – from the Foreword by Philip Sales (Justice of the Supreme Court, United Kingdom). Martin's doctoral thesis “The regulation and supervision of advertising in financial market law” (2013, in German) received prestigious awards in Switzerland and Germany.
