Research interests

Professor Kirsty Horsey’s long-term research interest focuses on the laws regulating surrogacy. She has worked with external non-profit and charitable organisations to facilitate and encourage reform. One such collaborative project – the SurrogacyUK Working Group on Surrogacy Law Reform – led to the publication of two Research Reports on the state of the law governing surrogacy, together with recommendations for reform, in 2015 and 2018 (see publications list). Professor Horsey is also currently a co-investigator in the Children’s Voices in Surrogacy Law project. She also co-authors, with Professor Erika Rackley, a leading law textbook, Tort Law.
