Doughty Street Chambers

Plus d’information

Doughty Street Chambers is regarded by many as ‘exceptional when it comes to human rights’, and is equally adept at handling complex administrative and public law matters. Edward Fitzgerald KC has ‘encyclopaedic knowledge’ of human rights law, and successfully represented the claimant in R (Quaye) v Secretary of State for Justice, a case concerning the impact of s.128 of the Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 on the provision of sentence reviews to murderers who, owing to the fact they committed the offence under the age of eighteen, are sentenced to detention at His Majesty’s pleasure rather than life imprisonment. Jude Bunting KC is ‘a work of art in the court room’, and the ‘very astute’ Adam Wagner is ‘an outstanding lawyer’.
