The Geoff Masel Aviation Law Prize

In 2004 the Aviation Law Association of Australia and New Zealand (ALAANZ) created a Prize in memory of the late Geoff Masel.

The objects of the Prize are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding and research and study of aviation law in Australia and New Zealand.

The first Prize was awarded in 2005 to Ansgar Grosse-Sender for his LL.M Research Paper at Victoria University Wellington entitled The Warsaw Convention - Paving the way towards uniformity for future 'DVT' claims under the Warsaw Convention? - An Analysis.
