InquestsGarden Court Chambers has long been among the most committed at the Bar offering representation for families at inquest. We cover deaths in police, prison and immigration custody, as well as deaths at institutions for the mentally ill. We have a particular expertise in police restraint and shooting cases. The team has a strong reputation across the UK in this difficult and sensitive area. We are active members of INQUEST, the campaigning group which supports families of people who have died, especially while in the custody of the state. We also undertake inquests into deaths associated with medical negligence and accidents at work. The civil team also has extensive experience in cases involving unlawful killing and neglect and our barristers have appeared in nearly all of the leading cases in this area. We strive to ensure that inquests are rigorous investigations of the circumstances surrounding deaths. Inquest law has been significantly affected by the incorporation of the Human Rights Act, most notably by the investigative obligation under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The civil team members regularly appear in cases which engage Article 2. We also publish books and articles in this area, including the ‘Legal Action’ book and ‘Inquests: A Practitioner’s Guide’ co-written by Leslie Thomas. Team members regularly contribute to the ‘Inquest Law’ journal.
