The European Law Institute mourns the passing of Professor Sir Roy Goode CBE KC FBA, whose scholarship, vision and public service transformed the field of commercial law and shaped the development of transnational legal harmonisation.

A scholar of exceptional distinction, Sir Roy combined intellectual rigour with an unwavering commitment to law reform. His contributions to UNIDROIT, the Cape Town Convention and the development of international commercial law have left an enduring mark on legal systems across the world.

Beyond his remarkable academic achievements, Sir Roy will be remembered for his generosity as a mentor, his institutional leadership and his profound influence on generations of scholars and practitioners.

We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues. His legacy will continue to inspire the international legal community for many years to come.
