Represented the claimant in this fatal clinical negligence case which settled at pre-issue JSM for £450,000. The claim arose following a GP failing to refer the Deceased to hospital for investigation of DVT which would have prevented the extension of DVT and subsequent massive pulmonary embolism. Dependency, particularly financial dep was at issue as there were complexities and circumstances including where modern life remains poorly reflected by the relevant caselaw.

Estate of P v GP

Tim was instructed throughout this claim arising from admitted negligence which led to below knee amputation. Significant pre-existing and post-occurring mental health issues and sometime comatose presentation of the claimant engendered considerable uncertainty as to the facts and available evidence. At a sensible and collaborative JSM prior to 8-day High Court trial, the claim settled at a little under a third of the £3.1m pleaded total.

G v A

Acted for the claimant where material contribution was put at early issue. Following abdominoplasty, negligent aftercare contributed to the development of a very large area of necrotic wound / soft tissue. A pre-service expert joint discussion led to capitulation of the defendant’s plastic surgery expert position and a six-figure settlement.

H v B

Tim acted as sole junior counsel for the defendant against Leading counsel in this touching case where a fatal accident claim was brought primarily in respect of a deceased mother’s care for her dependent daughter who lacked capacity. All matters were in issue when the case settled for c.£1m at a second JSM in advance of a 7-day High Court trial.

Estate of A v B

Tim represented the successful defendant Trust at trial where the focus was cross-examination of the surgical experts. There was a novel element to the claim in that there would have been a prospect of a novel category for PSLA, namely Loss of Gender Identity for a transgender Claimant who was unable to complete his transition owing to heightened fears of further complex surgery (after the index surgery he was seriously ill and required intensive care).

Ward v Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Tim represented the defendant Trust throughout this litigation where settlement avoided a 2-week High Court trial with large bundles (c.11,000) and more than 30 medical reports. The claim was for over £1.7m but at JSM the claimant accepted less than a quarter of the sum claimed. All issues had remained in dispute, particularly causation and attributability, given the claimant had 17 pre-existing and 7 post-occurring conditions.

D v Q

Represented the defendant NHS Trust in a High Court claim listed for a split liability trial in March 2020. The issue was whether thrombolysis should have been offered, turning on vascular expert evidence. After successfully opposing redaction of a consultant’s statement and leading a round table meeting, the claimant discontinued shortly before trial.

S v B

Represented the NHS Trust in a £7.1m+ medical negligence claim following incomplete cauda equina and discectomy. It was alleged different safety-netting advice should have been given three months earlier. Breach and causation were disputed; the defence attributed the poor outcome to rare, non-negligent arachnoiditis. The claim settled at JSM for £1.2m, avoiding a 5-day trial.

M v D

Represented the defendant NHS Trust in an Erb’s Palsy (Group 2) claim which was pleaded at over £2.6m. A settlement was agreed between the parties less than two weeks before trial. The settlement sum (£650,000) was approved by Mrs Justice Lambert sitting in the High Court, and an anonymity order granted to the infant claimant pursuant to CPR 39.2(4).

C v P

Represented the defendant in a case involving complications to the mother following childbirth in which liability was disputed and the claim pleaded at nearly £1.4m. Settlement achieved after JSM.

G v X

Represented the defendant in a week-long trial of liability as a preliminary issue. The matter concerned the use of the air insufflation test in low colorectal anastomoses following laparoscopic resection of the bowel for removal of cancer.

Shortall v Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust

Appeared for the successful claimant / respondent in the Employment Appeal Tribunal.

Tokyo Industries 5 Limited v Megwa & Anor

Acted for the claimant whose home suffered exterior and interior flooding of raw sewage, the latter of which was not cleared by the sewerage undertaker and was alleged to have led to serious injuries being sustained by the claimant.
