Thomas Beven (1855? – 16 January 1911) was a British lawyer and legal scholar. [1] He wrote several legal treatises.
A 1885 biographical directory states that Thomas Beven was born in 1855, [2] but as his obituary states he died aged 59, this is likely incorrect. [1] He attended King's College London and The Queen's College, Oxford. [1] He began his articles at the Inner Temple on 6 November 1871 and was called to the bar on 7 June 1875. [2]
Beven's treatise on negligence went through four editions: 1889, 1895, 1908, and one posthumous edition in 1929. [3] A 1911 work on employers' liability noted that Beven's treatise on negligence was "a standard authority at the English bar for many years". [4]
Beven died on 16 January 1911 at his home in Hackney, London, aged 59. [1] His will was proved in the Chancery Division in 1914. The presiding judge, noting that Beven had written a treatise on negligence, suggested that Beven may well have been negligent in writing his own will. [5]
