Rory Gregson

Biography

Rory is a non-stipendiary College Lecturer in Contract Law at Lady Margaret Hall and is reading for the DPhil in Law at Balliol College.  His current research is in private law, and he also has interests in administrative law and legal history.

Rory's DPhil is about subrogation: a legal doctrine which allows one person to pretend to be another, and rely on the latter's rights against a third party.  Rory's DPhil asks what justifies this.  In particular, orthodoxy in English law says that non-contractual subrogation is a remedy for unjust enrichment.  Rory's DPhil examines what that means, and whether it is right.  He is supervised by Prof Robert Stevens.
