The Court of Protection maintains a select Panel of individuals who act as Deputies, recognising their skill and expertise in this area. The Panel nationwide consists of a small number of members and a Panel Deputy will be appointed by the Court if there is no-one else available and willing to act. Samantha Buckthought, Senior Private Client Partner at Wolferstans, is a Panel Deputy.

It depends. If combat immunity applies, the MoD will not have to pay. However, if there is a breach of duty away from the battlefield, they may have to pay for some or all your claim. It is necessary to look at all the circumstances in detail, including lack of equipment and training away from the battlefield.

This is a common misunderstanding. It is not the case and can result in injured members of the Armed Forces missing out on much needed compensation. If you have sustained an injury and are thinking about making a claim for compensation, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible, even if you are still a serving member of the Armed Forces. Time limits apply to claims for compensation and if you wait until you leave the military it may be too late to make a claim.

If we successfully recover compensation for you, we can provide help and advice on a number of other issues including writing a Will, buying or selling a home, setting up a personal injury trust to ensure you are entitled to continue claiming certain welfare benefits and also make recommendations so that you get the right financial advice. We believe it is important to support you and your family after your claim has settled and not only whilst the case is ongoing.
