Position
Rebecca has a multi-disciplinary practice across a number of Chambers’ areas of expertise including personal injury and clinical negligence, inquests, public/administrative law and Court of Protection.
Rebecca accepts instructions in all areas of personal injury work and has a particular expertise in actions against the police, other public authorities and abuse claims. She undertakes work for Claimants and Defendants at all levels of value and complexity. She also has experience of appearing before the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal.
Rebecca has a busy clinical negligence practice and acts increasingly for both Claimants and Defendants in equal measure. She has been instructed in cases involving delay in diagnosis and treatment, surgery, emergency care, birth injury and stillbirth.
Rebecca has a busy inquest practice and regularly appears at inquest hearings, both final and pre inquest reviews. She appears for bereaved families and other interested persons and has acted for NHS Trusts, care agencies and other bodies. She is happy to deal with ad hoc instructions where interim applications/submissions to the coroner are required, even if on an urgent basis. She acts in both Article 2 and non-Article 2 inquests.
Rebecca is regularly instructed to act for local authorities, P (through the Official Solicitor or other litigation friends) and family members in health and welfare matters in the Court of Protection. She acts in applications brought pursuant to sections 15,16 and 21A of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. She also has experience of cases which involve the interplay of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Mental Health Act 1983.
