Legal 500

The Claimant, a senior fire fighter, suffered a serious spinal injury when demonstrating how to abseil down a cliff face as part of a training exercise. The case involved complex liability issues relating to good abseiling practice and equipment. The Claimant is disabled from the chest down. He is a full-time wheelchair user and has very extensive care needs that will increase as he ages. There was a claim for an Exoskeleton - cutting-edge prosthetic technology from America that allows paralysed people to walk within a highly specialised Artificial Intelligence (AI) ‘suit’. Lee researched in detail the AI technology behind Exoskeleton suits and considered the market providers in America. His research related to the mobility benefits, lifespan, limitations, emerging technologies and costs of the AI Exoskeleton suits. The claim was pleaded in excess of £25.0 million.

Hogan v Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service

Lee successfully defended LB Hillingdon during a two-week High Court trial in respect of a claim by a motorcyclist who claimed to have lost traction on a worn manhole cover that was on a bend in the carriageway. As a result of his accident the Claimant underwent an amputation of one of his arms. The case involved analysis of the definition of a defect in the carriageway; whether a claimant proved the circumstances and cause of his accident; the type and frequency of highway inspection; risk assessing the location of a manhole cover in the carriageway; and the particular vulnerability of motorcycle users

Morriss v London Borough of Hillingdon [2025].

The deceased, a Norwegian national, was visiting the UK and whilst drunk ran into the road and was hit by the Defendant's vehicle. At the time of his death the deceased was in a common-law relationship and he had properties in Norway and Poland and other assets abroad. The Claimant (deceased's partner) began proceedings in Norway and Poland to overturn the deceased's Will, so that she became the sole beneficiary. The Claimant’s UK claim ran very closely with the foreign litigation. The claim was pleaded at over £6 million and involved complex issues of (i) Polish and Norwegian law, (ii) international law principles, (iii) research into Estate planning and Wills, tax and inheritance issues and (iv) the likely value and income from the properties.

AP v RO

The Defendant deliberately drove his car into the Claimant, as part of a rival gang attack for control of an area. The Defendant was convicted of attempted murder. The case involved complex liability issues, including the illegal acts of the Claimant, self-defence and voluntary acceptance of a risk of danger. The witness evidence – from gang members - was complex and sensitive. The Claimant suffered very serious brain injuries and has profound impairments of cognitive function. He is a highly vulnerable man and at serious risk of exploitation. The Claimant’s care needs are significant – round the clock daily care – and he will not work in the future. The case involved culturally sensitive issues regarding future marriage and lifestyle. The case was pleaded at over £10 million.

HX (Protected Party) v ZY and Motor Insurers’ Bureau

The Claimant, a teenage Swiss national, stepped in front of a bus in Oxford. She suffered significant brain injuries, has extensive care needs and is unlikely to work in the future. Liability was denied and expert accident reconstruction evidence was obtained. Prior to the accident the Claimant intended to become a teacher. It was necessary to conduct extensive research into the teaching sector in Switzerland and to consider the necessary private sector professional care regime abroad. Issues regarding potential earnings, career trajectory, pension provision and agency care costs in Switzerland were investigated.
