Featured experience

Inquest - Adam Stone

Ian appeared in a complex inquest concerning a death following an episode of drug-induced Acute Behavioural Disturbance (鈥淎BD鈥) combined with police restraint. The inquest considered national guidance for emergency response times and proposed changes to the medical literature underpinning the incidence of death in cases of ABD and Excited Delirium.

Inquest - Archie Spriggs

Ian represented multiple parties in the sad case of a young boy who had been murdered by his mother. The inquest determined that the death could not have been predicted or prevented by any public body.

Inquest - Errol Graham

In a case which has since been debated in parliament and received extensive media and public attention as a spearhead for social reform, Ian represented a public agency in the inquest into the death of a man who tragically starved to death in his flat following his benefits payments being stopped.

TRA v CE

In the first regulatory case of its kind Ian secured the prohibition of a teacher who had been convicted for the criminal offence of conducting an unregistered independent school contrary to section 96 of the Education and Skills Act 2008.
