The first edition of Chitty on Contracts was published in 1826. To mark its 200th anniversary, the Private Law Group at University College London is hosting a one-day conference on Friday 12 June 2026. There will be papers on Chitty’s place in legal history, on current issues in contract law and on developments that may be needed in the future. Papers will be presented by academics and commented upon by practitioners in panels chaired by judges. 

The conference is organised by the current and future editors of Chitty, Hugh Beale (Warwick) and Paul S Davies (UCL). The conference will be opened by Lord Leggatt JSC.
