Advanced Actions Against the Police

We're pleased to bring you our 2022 Advanced Actions Against the Police course. As with previous years, the course will bring practitioners up to speed in relation to all legal, procedural and funding developments of relevance to civil actions against the police law over the past year and afford opportunities to discuss tactics with fellow claimant lawyers.

Gus Silverman, Fiona Murphy and Jamie Burton KC are all confirmed speakers on the course. They will be joined by two other leading practitioners in the field whose names will be announced shortly. The trainers will draw on their knowledge of developments in related legal areas and the course will be of interest to all those involved in public interest litigation.

The course will include practical tips, strategy and tactics for effective practice. It will provide a comprehensive update since the course was last delivered in December 2021 and will cover:

This course will provide practitioners with a comprehensive update of developments in the law relating to liability, procedure, quantum, costs and funding of relevance to police actions (including claims against other detaining authorities).

Lecture format. Comprehensive course handouts will be distributed to all delegates electronically. Questions and contributions from those involved in the cases under discussion are positively encouraged.

This event will take place at Doughty Street Chambers and will run from 9 am to 5 pm, with breaks for coffee, lunch and tea.
