Civil Law

Our general civil litigation work builds on a long tradition of providing advice and representation relating to the protection of civil and human rights.
The civil work in Chambers is divided across a number of practice areas. These include family, immigration, housing, claims against the police, inquests, employment and discrimination, community care, environmental law, Gypsy and Traveller rights, welfare benefits law and mental health. Our team represents our clients in many different types of court and are also involved in applications for judicial review. 
 
Some of our barristers in the civil litigation team use their experience in civil courts to extend their work into other areas, such as contract disputes, negligence claims (including education negligence, clinical negligence and claims against professionals) and other civil claims. 
 

Our multi-disciplinary chambers enables specialists in one practice area to call on the expertise of others. We can also refer specialist counsel to clients with multi-faceted legal problems.

Social Welfare Law Website

The Community Care Team's new Social Welfare Law website covers adult care, children, incapacity, education, welfare benefits, migrants, equality, health care, mental health, housing and international law, all from a community care and social welfare law perspective. Click here to view the website.

The authors will publish case law and other updates in the "Update in Progress" box, as close as we can to when they happen. The Update in Progress box can be browsed at will. At the end of every month, the completed update, covering the full range of topics on the site, is emailed out for free to registered users. Older material is available in fully searchable archives, topic by topic. The authors also publish more substantial practice notes on topical points of interest and users are able to leave comments on the site. The authors hope this will encourage productive discussion in each of the areas of law and will be a valuable resource for all practitioners in social welfare law.
