Johnβs court practice encompasses a wide range of personal injury matters, including road traffic accidents (with credit hire), employersβ and public liability, product liability, and Highways Act claims. He also accepts instructions to conductΒ interim and case management hearings.
His paper practice consists of drafting Particulars of Claim, Schedules and Counter-Schedules of Loss, and Defences. He is also regularly instructed to advise on liability and quantum and has a particular interest in cases that raise complex legal issues in relation to causation.
