A pleasure to act for former Coronation Street actor Qasim Akhtar in this brilliant result against The Sun. Thank you too Qasim for such kind words! Great to work again with Daniel Taylor, Jay Joshi, and Joshua Maurice at the superb Taylor Hampton Solicitors

Doughty Street Chambers’ response to proposals to curtail trial by jury

Trial by jury is a deeply entrenched constitutional principle and anchors our liberal democracy. Jury trials enable people to participate and have a say in their criminal justice system.

A statement from SIA⬇️

Mark Henderson @markhenderson.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

The unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ disabled community ⬇️ Featured in @spinalinjuries.bsky.social Forward Magazine, I spoke at SIA’s first Disability Pride Month webinar on amplifying LGBTQ+ disabled voices, working with orgs such as #ParaPride. #SpinalCordInjury #DisabilityPride #Disability

'In many ways their SCI puts them back in the closet...suddenly the apartment's not accessible, they need care, they may have to go back to their family where they're not fully out and where there's no gay scene...'

A magazine page titled “Celebrating Disability Pride Month.” The headline uses bright, bold fonts in pink, teal, and yellow, with colourful abstract shapes and diagonal stripes in the top-right corner. Below, text describes the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA)’s first Disability Pride Month webinar, held in July, focusing on the experiences of LGBTQ+ disabled people and the intersection of disability, gender, and sexuality. The article highlights speakers Kerryn Pratt, Stuart Miles, and Mark Henderson (an ambassador for ParaPride). Topics discussed include resilience, inclusion, accessible spaces, and the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ disabled people. A photo in the bottom-left corner shows a webinar slide reading “Disability Pride Webinar.” The layout uses playful icons (arrows, swirls, dots) in teal, pink, and yellow alongside blocks of text.

It held that all three were defamatory of the Claimant at common law: the first two conveyed that the Claimant was a paedophile and the third that the Claimant was party to a co-ordinated effort by child molesters who had adopted LGBT causes. 2/3

Excited to be chairing this. Panel: Helen Eaton, @ndinlaw.bsky.social's Alice de Coverley & Oliver May. Bar Council research indicates chambers may struggle to apply RAs for neurodivergent pupils, so this is for those supporting them & pupils, but valuable to anyone interested in neurodivergence
