Legal academic Professor Jonathan Fitchen has passed away just a week following his promotion to personal chair at the University of Aberdeen.
Professor Fitchen, who directed the university’s Centre for Private International Law, passed away on Friday, the head of the law school told colleagues.
He recently authored The Private International Law of Authentic Instruments which was published in the Hart Studies of Private International Law last November.
In a tribute published by the Conflict of Law blog, Aberdeen PhD alumnus Abubakri Yekini wrote: “I am glad that Prof Fitchen received the news of his promotion and witnessed the publication of the book that has taken him several years of hard work before he died.”
Professor Fitchen is survived by his wife Kathrin and his children Thomas and Sofia.
