Chambers has developed a broad
range of expertise in the mental

prosecute and defend in cases where
“fitness to plead” is in issue and have
considerable experience and expertise
in dealing with conflicting psychiatric
evidence.
Members of Chambers have similar
expertise in the many other areas
where psychiatric and psychological
evidence are crucial including the
admissibility of admissions made to
the police, the defendant’s failure to
give evidence, the use of special measures and the imposition of
restriction orders.
