London Bar > Clinical negligence
2 Temple Gardens ‘have an impressive collection of juniors and silks‘, offering both ‘both experience and some very talented up and coming barristers‘. The set has particular experience in cross-border, multi-jurisdictional work: this year, Roger Harris, Charles Dougherty KC, Benjamin Phelps, Niazi Fetto KC and Andrew Bershadski were all involved in the case of Roberts v Various Defendants in the Supreme Court, in which the claimant, a child of a British soldier serving in Germany whose mother received care by British midwives working with German doctors, was born in a German hospital in 2000 with cerebral palsy as a result of allegedly negligent treatment; the case brings up issues relating to jurisdiction and vicarious liability. Niazi Fetto KC took silk in March 2023, and Harry Trusted joined the set from Outer Temple Chambers in January 2023.
