Overview
The Inquest team at 2 Dr Johnson’s Building consists of barristers with experience in all aspects of Coronial law arising from a variety of circumstances including but limited to:
- death in custody
- death in care home
- workplace accidents resulting in death
- homicides
- whilst being restrained.
Members have considerable expertise in advising and representing bereaved families, individuals and public bodies. Our members have represented families and public bodies in Article 2 and Jury inquests successfully inviting HM Coroner to issue Preventing Future Death reports. We have specialist counsel of all levels of call bringing a breadth of knowledge and experience including those who are dually qualified as doctors and barristers. They bring their unique expertise in not only meticulously analysing medical reports, but also have the specialist skills in cross-examining medical experts. Members of Chambers also have expertise in bringing judicial review of Inquest decisions. Our members regularly act pro bono for bereaved families through the Inquest Group and other charitable organisations.
