Deka Chambers is noted for its ‘excellent breadth and depth of knowledge’, routinely representing claimants and defendants in appellate level proceedings involving high-profile polytrauma and psychiatric injury litigation. The practitioners are also noted as an ’excellent chambers in terms of travel and cross-border personal injury litigation’, holding extensive expertise in cases with an international component. This is evident in Matthew Chapman KC‘s caseload, which includes cases such as Alli-Balogun v Mapfre & Others, a litigation arising from a near-drowning incident in a Spanish swimming pool where liability is in contention. Paul Stagg KC is an active operator in the team’s most high-profile dispute, such as HXA v Surrey County Council and YXA v Wolverhampton City Council, both ongoing cases that reached the Supreme Court regarding the issue of liability of local authorities for child abuse committed by parents that could have been prevented by taking a child into care.
