2 Hare Court | London Barristers Chambers - One of the UK's leading sets
News 10/05/2016

The Crown Prosecution service has offered no evidence against Dr Adedayo Adedeji, who was accused of manslaughter by gross negligence following the death of a patient hours after he performed a late stage termination of pregnancy.

In addition to the manslaughter charge, Dr Adedeji was the first doctor in the UK to be prosecuted under section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 in relation to an alleged clinical error. The Prosecution offered no evidence on both counts following service of defence expert reports and a review of the case by the CPS and their counsel.

Craig Ferguson was led by Jonathan Caplan QC and instructed by Nick Tennant of the MDU.
