(Personal injury - Leading Juniors)Ranked: Tier 1Marcus Grant –Temple Garden Chambers ‘Marcus is the equal and more of any silk. His intellect and mastery of a case is second-to-none.’
‘A fantastic set of chambers with industry renowned barristers‘, Temple Garden Chambers act for both claimants and defendants, with particular strength in chronic pain claims and those involving fundamental dishonesty. James Arney KC exemplified both in his work for the claimant in Preater v Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, successfully resisting allegations that the claimant had been fundamentally dishonest in her account of her injuries with emphasis on the need for experts to distinguish between good and bad days in chronic pain cases. James Bell has experience in cross-border cases; Marcus Grant specialises in head injury claims. Jonathan Watt-Pringle KC retired in January 2023.
