Angus has considerable public law experience which includes involvement in landmark cases involving human rights. He has been instructed in important public inquiries (the Bristol Royal Infirmary Inquiry) and inquests under Article 2, ECHR (most recently into the death of Colette Lynch), and is regarded as counsel of choice by a number of professional clients in relation to advice on judicial review.

Human Rights  
Angus was involved in the important reported human rights decision of A -v- X, both before Mr Justice Munby and in the Court of Appeal. The case explored the boundaries of Article 8 ECHR and the extent to which judgments on issues involving Article 8 were better made by the Courts or by other public authorities. Angus also has expertise in claims under Article 6 ECHR having been instructed in reported decisions on the impact of this Article, notably the Pembrey case. Advisory work has included problems involving the application of Articles 2, 6, 8 and 14 to the resuscitation of the very seriously injured. He was recently involved in one of the longest running and most complex inquests under Article 2 ECHR, the inquest into the death of Colette Lynch. Chambers and Partners has described his understanding in the field of human rights as “considered second to none.”
 
Inquests and Public Inquiries
Angus was instructed on behalf of the most senior practitioner in the Bristol Royal Infirmary Inquiry, probably the longest and most complex inquiry of it kind in England and Wales. He was also instructed to bring proceedings against the Redfern Inquiry into the nuclear industry and these proceedings led to a judgment by Foskett J in the Lewis case. He was counsel to British Rail in the Rhyl disaster Inquiry. Angus has been instructed in a significant number of inquests, including the recent inquest into the death of Colette Lynch in which Sir Christopher Pitchers, former High Court Judge, presided as Coroner.
 
Judicial review
Angus has long experience in judicial review. He has been described in Chambers and Partners as counsel of choice for solicitors seeking advice on judicial review. His experience ranges from one of the earliest judicial review cases involving the right to an oral hearing (the Virdee case in 1994) to cases about police pensions (the Milling case in 1997), through to judicial review of decisions of public authorities such as the General Medical Council (the Tudor case in 2004). More recently Angus was instructed to advise on judicially reviewing the decision of Redfern Inquiry in relation to disclosure of documents, which led to the decision in Lewis. Angus lectures on “judicial review and fairness”.
 
Information Law
Angus was instructed in one of the earliest decisions on the meaning and effect of the Data Protection Act 1998: P -v- Wozencroft (Expert Evidence: Data Protection) a case about access to and rectification of data under the Data Protection Act 1998.
