Radcliffe Chambers
Within professional negligence, Radcliffe Chambers specialises in solicitor and financial professional negligence areas. Elizabeth Ovey recently acted for the claimant in the Toyota Material Handling UK Limited v Mercer Limited case, in which the principal employer and trustees brought professional negligence proceedings against their former benefit consultants in respect of advice to enter into a Deed of Amendment purporting to cap existing liability; failure to advise that previous advisers were or might have been negligent and there was a claim against them; and failure to advise of their own earlier claim negligence.
