Work highlights
“Water Claim” - Carolyn Roberts (in her capacity as representative for the Class Members in the Claim) v Thames Water, United Utilities, Severn Trent, Anglian Water, Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water: One of the largest ever consumer claims and involves working very closely with Ofwat to ensure the claim is sensitive to public enforcement and regulatory involvement, rather than just a traditional private enforcement.
