She she has a particular interest in claims involving private healthcare institutions.

Amy and Jock have had high profile trials heard in the High Court in London and Court of Appeal. Their cases of Kennedy v Frankel [2019] EWHC 106 (QB) involved a failure by the treating neurologist to respond adequately to clear information that the Claimant was suffering from an Impulse Control Disorder, and Hewes v West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust & Others [2018] EWHC 1345 (QB) successfully appealed a decision by the interim Master to dismiss the Claimant’s claim against the Third Defendant by way of summary judgment. Other cases Amy has worked on include securing compensation for bereaved parents when their daughter died of congenital pneumonia caused by ß-haemolytic Group B Streptococcus (“Group B Strep”) and settling a claim after a woman suffered catastrophic neurological injuries following a pericardiocentesis procedure.

In her recent matters, Amy settled a claim for a woman who suffered a bladder injury following a caesarean section, and also achieved a seven figure settlement for a lady who was left with a permanent stoma following hernia repair surgery.
