Deans Court Chambers have a dedicated team of barristers who specialise in police disciplinary work and have experience at every level of gross misconduct cases, police appeals tribunals, inquests, judicial review applications and police civil actions.
- Our Areas of Expertise
- Professional Discipline and Regulation
- Police Misconduct
We specialise in providing representation and advice at all levels throughout all proceedings, bringing our expertise in other fields such as Public Law and General Crime to the fore when a case crosses into other areas, as it so often does.
We represent the membership and have particular experience in representing police officers in linked Criminal and Public Law proceedings; we are mindful from the outset of the potential for alleged criminal liability and wider culpability.
In particular barristers have represented officers facing allegations of:
- Corruption;
- Data protection offences;
- Misconduct in public office;
- Sexual assaults whilst on duty;
- Perverting the Course of Justice;
- Causing death or serious injury by driving dangerously.
Our barristers are routinely instructed in sensitive, complex and high-profile cases all over the country. Owing to the breadth and experience of our criminal department, we excel in defending disciplinary proceedings with potential or concurrent criminal proceeding.
