Inquests & Public Inquiries - London (Bar)
Individual Editorial
Peter Skelton KC is frequently instructed in large inquests and inquiries which are often under considerable media scrutiny. He also routinely represents parties in inquests involving clinical negligence and is instructed to defend coronial decisions in judicial review proceedings.
Strengths
His manner is so measured and careful but he is an extremely effective inquisitorial advocate.
Peter has an ability to cut through incredibly complex nets of interrelationships between state agencies. He leads the coroner to a clear picture of what happened.
