Gerry Boyle successfully defends Fatal Accidents Act claim against Kent Police

26/11/2009
Gerry Boyle has successfully represented Kent Police upon a claim brought by the family of a woman who died during a police operation at her home address.  The action was dismissed last week following a week-long trial.  Relying on expert toxicology evidence, the family claimed that police officers at the scene had negligently permitted the woman accidentally to consume an excessive amount of prescribed medication.  The Judge rejected the family's claims and dismissed the action awarding costs and costs on account to the Chief Constable.  Gerry was instructed by Berrymans Lace Mawer.
