Personal Injury newsletter out now featuring the latest news and case updates - June 2020

We then bring to you a few short case summaries of recent decisions which may be of interest including contributions from Naomi Webber, Charles Fulton and Grace Nicholls; along with a reminder of recent articles from Tom Webb and Richard Wheeler.
