Marcus Grant

Practice Areas

MG’s specialism is head injury, chronic pain and spinal litigation. He is noted for his leadership in exploring recent neurological and chronic pain developments in the Courts and is regarded for his insight into the nuances of the medicine and his tenacity in handling medical experts in his specialist areas.

In the last 18 months, MG was Counsel in the QBD decisions in Palmer v. Mantas & Liverpool Victoria Insurance Company [2022] EWHC 90 (QB), Stansfield v. BBC [2021] EWHC 2638 (QB) and Long v. Elegant Resorts [2021] EWHC 1330 (QB). All three involved claimants recovering substantial damages for the consequences of mild traumatic brain injuries in the face of disbelieving defendants, two of whom mounted unsuccessful fundamental dishonesty defences in the defence of the claims.

He is noted too for taking a lead in the thorny issue of recording of medico-legal assessments and appeared in the lead cases of MacDonald [2020] EWHC 906 and Mustard [2019] EWHC 2623.
