• Relatively recently we have been involved with the civil litigation in Rathband v The Chief Constable of Northumbria Constabulary stemming from the 2010 police manhunt of Raoul Moat.

 

• The inquest held by Wiltshire Coroner, David Masters was one of the longest inquests held in England. We provided transcripts of the 64 days of evidence in the second inquest 51 years after 20 year old Ronald Maddison died of nerve gas in 1953.  The first inquest was held behind closed doors for reasons of national security in 1953.

 

• The Ocean Odyssey Fatal Accident Inquiry which ran for 122 days from June 1990 into 1991 and held in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen is the longest running transcript we have delivered and one of the longest inquiries held in Scotland.

 

• We also provided the full transcript for the Strangeways Inquiry which took place in initially in Liverpool, moving to Taunton and then finally, London and was a significantly long matter headed by Lord Woolf.

 

• The A3 and A27 inquiries held in southern England took evidence over many days. In the case of the A3 road tunnel inquiry this led directly to the building of Britain’s longest road tunnel which is over a mile in length.

 

• John Larking Verbatim Reporters were involved in the long running MMR litigation which took place at the Royal Courts of Justice over several years.

 

• Other similar medical litigation we were involved with were the FAC Group Litigation and Blood Products Litigation.
