This field has been developed by a few specialist
practitioners leading to several reported cases and an increasing
expertise within chambers. We advise and represent clients on all
aspects of education law. By way of example, members of chambers
have appeared before exclusion panels and boards of governors and
have advised on employment and discrimination issues relating to
education. We have also advised on issues related to bullying and
personal injury claims in an educational setting. Further areas
of work include the provision of advice on the obtaining of awards
and grants, advising on prejudicial discrimination in the marking
of exams and advising on the funding of nursery (pre-school) education.
Individual members of chambers have advised private nurseries.
We also work in the field of higher education, advising and representing
clients on disciplinary issues within universities, in relation
to the visitorial jurisdiction within universities and on the issue
of higher education funding.
In addition to representing clients on education matters before
panels, boards, and tribunals, we also work in the higher courts
on behalf of our clients. We have experience of obtaining injunctions
in relation to the many education issues that arise and to conducting
judicial review claims where appropriate. We are sensitive to the
need to ensure that all our clients are able to rely on their human
rights in this area.
