Fred Motson

Fred Motson is a Lecturer in Law and has been heavily involved in designing and writing the new LLB Law degree which began to go live in 2021, having written units on W111 Criminal Law, W112 Tort and Civil Justice, W211 Public Law, W212 Contract Law, W311 Equity and Trusts and W323 SQE Business. 
After more than a decade of full-time teaching, Fred became a student once again in 2021 when he commenced studying for his PhD through the Open University. His research combines two of his main interests, sport and technology, as it is focused on applying legal theories about interpretation and judicial decision-making to the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in professional football.

Balancing this part-time study with his full-time job and two children under 4 means that Fred is well aware of the types of pressures many OU students face!
