Alastair Bissett-Johnson
Obituary of Alastair Bissett-Johnson, professor of private law; born May 14, 1941; died July 9, 2008.Alastair Bissett-Johnson, who has died of a pulmonary embolism aged 67, belonged to that rare breed of academic whose dedication to their students was matched only by their dedication to their subject. His substantial body of work - particularly in calling for greater fairness to women in calculating financial provisions during divorce - represents a lasting contribution to the legal system.
A member of the Scottish Episcopal Church, he served as Chancellor of the Diocese of Brechin. He also regularly attended the Church of Scotland across the road from his house, because he "liked the folk there".
