Gareth works fantastically hard and he is very clever and user-friendly. He provides really good insight on group actions.
Gareth is just brilliant. He is involved in more pieces of group litigation than any other barrister I know.
He is the guru on emissions and has done a huge amount to bring those cases forward. Nobody is better informed than he is on emissions.
