Dr Victoria (Vicki) Evans is a Lecturer of Private Law. Her main research area focuses on the intersection between Property Law and Tort Law. This intersection is the subject of recent monograph with Routledge entitled ‘The Protection of Property Rights Through Tort Law’ (Routledge 2026). Vicki’s wider research primarily focuses three of the ‘property torts’: private nuisance, conversion and trespass to land. She has published case comments and articles within each of these torts, most notably on ‘Nuisance and Defective Cladding’ in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies and ‘Conversion and Digital Assets’ in the Conveyancer and Property Lawyer.

She joined The Dickson Poon School of Law in September 2020 and holds degrees from the University of Leicester (PhD) where she was also a Graduate Teaching Assistant, and the University of Birmingham (LLM, LLB).

Vicki is the deputy module convenor of the undergraduate Law of Property module, and is co-convenor of the Advanced Property Law optional module at King's.

Vicki is on the editorial board of the Journal of Law, Property and Society. And at King's she is the Director of Graduate Teaching Assistants and Widening Participation Co-ordinator. In this latter role she aims to strengthen the connections between the Law school and local schools, in the view of encouraging students to aim for King’s law and university in general.

Research interests

Vicki’s main research interest is the intersections between Property Law and Tort Law. Most of her research falls within this category, including her recent monograph with Routledge entitled ‘The Protection of Property Rights Through Tort Law’ (Routledge 2026). More broadly, her research primarily focuses on the three torts of Trespass to Land, Conversion and Private Nuisance. She has published case comments, book chapters and articles within all of these torts, including a recent paper in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies.

Outside of these torts, Vicki researches more broadly within Property Law. Her most recent project was with Dr Catherine de Contreras which culminated in two papers exploring how the Supreme Court had shaped the concept of property through its decisions over the last 15 years.
