| Chambers prides itself on providing high quality representation and advice on all aspects of the military justice system. Members of the International and Military Team both defend and prosecute within the United Kingdom and abroad before Courts Martial and appear in the Courts Martial Appeal Court. They also represent service personnel before UK Civilian Courts.
Team members have experience of high profile cases of exceptional gravity, some examples being: the defence of a soldier accused of murdering an Iraqi civilian; the defence of a soldier accused of manslaughter after a tragic accident involving a tethered balloon; a baby shaking manslaughter; accusations of excessive use of force during Peace Keeping duties in Northern Ireland and the prosecution of the first allegation of rape of a servicewoman at sea by a senior officer.
Chambers can not only assist with Courts Martial but also with summary dealings before a Commanding Officer and Administrative Action taken under AGAI 67 and have a wealth of talent at all levels of seniority experienced in this work.
Members of chambers appear in all United Kingdom and Overseas Military Court Centres including Germany, Cyprus and Northern Ireland and the Courts Martial Appeal Court. We can also help with Judicial Review proceedings in the High Court.
Many members of the International and Military team have military experience and some are former Army Legal Service Officers. This, together with Chambers experience of war crimes work in the International Criminal Court and United Nations International Criminal Tribunals enables Chambers to offer a team of unparalleled strength in military law.
