Barristers Post 1991 Negligence
Awoyomi v Radford and another [2007] EWHC 1671 (QB)
QBD
Weekly Law Reports Summary
12 July 2007
The effect of the decision of the House of Lords in Arthur JS Hall & Co v Simons [2002] 1 AC 615 was that advocates had ceased to enjoy immunity from suit by 1991. The cause of action in respect of alleged negligence in 1995 had therefore accrued at that time and not at the date of the decision.
