Tom has substantial experience of Inquests. He advises and appears in inquests concerned with potential breaches of health & safety legislation. He is also regularly instructed to represent the interest of medical professionals and medical institutions such as NHS Trusts.
Individual cases:
Tom appeared on behalf of a GP who prescribed paraffin based emollients to an elderly, bed-bound woman, who was known to smoke in bed, at an inquest concerning the death of the individual in a house fire. The inquest lasted one week and considered evidence from fire officers, fire investigation officers, medical professionals and care workers. Among the many issues considered at the inquest was whether the use of a paraffin based emollient may have contributed to the fire. The coroner recorded a conclusion of accidental death and made no criticism of Tom’s client.
Tom represented Abbey Court Independent Hospital at an inquest into the death of a 77-year old patient suffering from dementia. The case involved complex issues including the medical cause of death and the pathological definition of starvation. The Court also heard from two expert independent psychiatrists about the consequences of dementia upon appetite, the potential alternatives for artificial nutrition and the appropriateness of any such treatment. The jury returned a conclusion of ‘Natural Causes’.
Tom represented a GP in relation to the death of a young woman who suffered from anorexia nervosa. The case involved expert evidence on the effects of anorexia nervosa on the potassium levels in the body and on the consequent effects of severe hypokalaemia (low potassium) on cardiac function
Tom was instructed as led junior by The Football Association in the Hillsborough inquests. These Inquests in to the deaths of 96 people at Hillsborough Stadium in 1989 are the longest in English legal history and have produced in excess of 500,000 pages of evidence.
