Public & Administrative Law
Details
I have a keen interest in judicial review and public law and have been instructed in this field, both as a solicitor and since becoming an advocate.
I have been instructed in a wide range of judicial review matters, including against health boards, local authorities, the Parole Board for Scotland and the Scottish Ministers (particularly in relation to prisoner disciplinary matters).
As a solicitor I worked in-house within a public body and in that capacity, I gained experience in relation to statutory applications and appeals to the Sheriff as well as advising on decision-making within the authority. I am well placed to advise public authorities as well as those who may be seeking to challenge them.
