About the speakers

George Laurence KC

I have always tried very hard to win “unwinnable” cases, by which I mean cases where the law needs to be developed in some way (if necessary by overruling a previous case), in order to achieve victory. See my many footpath and village green cases in the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

I also try to be innovative – for example, in Greenwich Healthcare v London & Quadrant Housing Trust [1998] 1 WLR 1749, I persuaded the court to declare that if the defendant were in future to seek an injunction against the plaintiff, the court would refuse it, thus enabling, an important hospital development to proceed.
