He has run in excess of 70 claims to full trial, including cases to the Court of Appeal and two cases to the Supreme Court - Majrowski v Guys & St Thomas’ NHS Trust [2006 UKHL 34], a claim relating to the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and Baker v Quantum Clothing Group Ltd & Ors [2011 UKSC 17], which concerned NIHL claims. Both claims are leading judgments in occupational disease litigation.
