Fielding ‘some excellent KCs’, along with its ’strength in depth, particularly in defence work’, the clinical negligence counsel at Crown Office Chambers are involved in a range of complex and high-value cases. Alexander Antelme KC, for example, represented NHS Resolution in GHK v King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, a case pertaining to a liver transplant performed on a 7-month old, in which liability and quantum was in dispute – the matter settled. Charlotte Jones was notably active in Paul, Polmear and Purchase v Royal Wolverhampton Hospital NHS Trust and others, a leading case in clinical negligence that reached the Supreme Court testing the law on claims by individuals who suffered psychiatric injuries after watching a loved one coming to harm as a result of negligence.
