Inquests & Public Inquiries

Robert has a wealth of experience representing medical professionals and hospital trusts at inquests, including inquests before a jury. His recent experience includes:

  • Representing a hospital trust at an inquest in respect of a patient who absconded from a psychiatric ward before being killed in a road traffic accident.
  • Representing a consultant obstetrician who faced criticism from an expert for her interpretation of fetal heart rate in a case involving a baby who died shortly after birth. The case involved cross-examination of two experts, and of other involved professionals. The Coroner made no criticism of Robert’s client;
