Personal Injury

A solicitor from 1991 to 2010, Peter spent the last 15 years handling fatal and serious personal injury cases, much of the work being motorcycle-related.  This naturally included a considerable number of credit hire matters, both motor car and motorcycle.  He also cultivated a special niche in personal injury claims for military personnel and conducted a number of serious clinical negligence cases. Since coming to the Bar, Peter's personal injury practice has broadened to include public, occupiers' and employers' liability.

Recent cases include:

Mohammed & Others v Umar & Zurich Insurance Plc: successfully represented 3 of 7 claimants in two cars in a 3-day multi-track trial in which fraud was alleged.

Diaz v London & South East Railway Company Limited: advised upon successful claim for injury caused when faulty train doors closed on the Claimant.

General Civil

Peter's general Civil practice includes contract disputes, product liability and professional negligence.

Recent cases include:

Bury Vehicle Leasing Ltd v Brownhills Motorhomes Ltd: advised in a depreciation case for a £100,000 motorhome.

Inquests

Prior to coming to the Bar, Peter appeared in over 30 Inquests all over England and Wales, mainly in relation to motor accidents.
