Doughty Street Chambers is home to Nick Stanage, who boasts an extensive international human rights law practice, and he has also assisted governments, judiciaries, and police forces with the implementation of human rights. Paul Draycott is another key name, and he regularly appears in a variety of judicial review claims. Of recent note, Draycott is representing the claimant in R (Ali) v Upper Tribunal and Secretary of State for the Home Department; the claimant lost his UK travel documentation while in Ethiopia, and the case concerns whether the Home Office's subsequent refusal of his entry clearance application engages Article 8.
