His research focuses on critical gaps in consumer protection legislation, especially regarding unpackaged food served in restaurants and cafes. He investigates whether current English food information regulations enable consumers with medical conditions, religious beliefs, or ethical lifestyles to make informed choices. His work explores the adequacy of enforcement by bodies like the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and DEFRA, and highlights issues such as misrepresentation, subtle discrimination, and inconsistencies between law and industry practices. This research contributes to evidence-based legal reform in consumer autonomy.
Mehul is affiliated with the Institute for Evidence-Based Law Reform (IELR) and is currently pursuing a PhD under the supervision of Martin Morgan-Taylor and Dr. Katharine Thompson. His doctoral work pioneers exploration into an under-researched area of consumer law, addressing real-world regulatory shortcomings.
