The event is also now held internationally, with events from Seoul to Spain and New Zealand to the Netherlands.

Holly has acted in multi-handed criminal trials. She routinely appears in sentencing hearings and is frequently instructed in cases involving a range of offences such as; burglary, intentional strangulation, ABH, racially aggravated offences, assaults on emergency workers and weapons and drugs offences. Holly has an exceptional record in defending motoring offences, fraud, sexual offences and assaults against the person. Holly recently defended a sentence where her client, who had pleaded guilty to three counts of PWITS (class A and B), was given a suspended sentence with no requirements. Holly also secured an acquittal for one client who faced three charges of sexual assault on two 15-year-old-girls. Another recent case involved a client who had been convicted of grooming multiple children online. Despite the custody threshold being crossed, Holly persuaded the court that a community order was appropriate.

Before converting to law, Holly worked as a management consultant with regulated infrastructure businesses. After qualifying, Holly worked as a Screening Case Officer for the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) which gave her insight into regulation and professional disciplinary issues and she has started to develop her practice in these areas of law.

During her legal studies, Holly volunteered as an Appropriate Adult in police interviews, which enhanced her ability to communicate with vulnerable adults and youths.

The claim was brought by the personal representatives of a deceased claimant, Mr Malik, aged 48 at the date of trial, who had a history of spinal problems commencing in 2012 consisting of pain, leg weakness and altered sensation. Following two surgeries by Mr Minhas, Mr Malik鈥檚 condition significantly worse. He suffered paraparesis and was to be wheelchair dependent for the remainder of his life. Mr Malik died on 14 July 2021 from causes secondary to his spinal condition.

The Court of Appeal found that the original trial judge HHJ Blair KC, sitting as a Deputy High Court Judge, was correct to apply Bolam before then considering whether Mr Malik had been made aware of the material risks involved in the recommended treatment and reasonable alternatives. In other words, as Mr Minhas came to the (non-negligent) conclusion that no other treatment was available, it was therefore not necessary to advise on additional treatments he did not consider necessary or prudent. Davies LJ also concluded that Mr Malik did not provide evidence that he would have elected to defer or reject surgery if told something different about the prospects of success due to the duration of the pain. As Mr Malik鈥檚 argument was not borne out in any evidence, this point was additionally dismissed.

The authors consider that the two key takeaway points from the case are firstly, that allegations of negligence must be pleaded with precision and that secondly, and as confirmed by the Supreme Court鈥檚 decision in (handed down today 12/07/2023), whether treatment is a reasonable alternative is to be determined by application of the professional practice test (i.e. Bolam, as qualified by Bolitho). Therefore, a doctor is not obliged to tell a patient about treatments that the doctor does not consider reasonable (applying the professional practice test), even where the doctor is aware of an alternative body of opinion which considers the treatment to be reasonable. Thus the clinicians鈥� conduct should only be construed through the Montgomery lens if other forms of treatment are 鈥榬easonable alternatives.鈥�
