In 1922 he was awarded a Doctor of Civil Law from Oxford for the thesis, “Action Pauliana; its origin development and nature.” In January 1926 Cumbrae-Stewart became Garrick Professor of Law, laying the foundation for the full faculty that was set up when he retired in 1936. Although not a well-published researcher, Cumbrae-Stewart was an important contributor to the discipline of Queensland history.
