Dr Rory Gregson
I work on all aspects of private law, and am particularly interested in the interrelation between the core private law subjects. My work brings together contract, tort, land, trusts, and remedies, considering what one area can learn from another, in order to solve problems currently troubling the courts.
I read for a BA (Hons) in Law at the University of Cambridge, and a BCL, MPhil, and DPhil at the University of Oxford. Before joining Merton, I was a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, and then an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge.
I teach Contract Law and Land Law to undergraduates at Merton.
