The Rt Hon. Lord Pannick KC
BCL, MA
Honorary Fellow
Lord Pannick KC is one of the UK’s most highly regarded advocates, practicing in a broad range of areas with a particular emphasis on Public Law & Human Rights and Constitutional Law.
He has acted in a large number of the leading public law cases of the last 25 years, appearing in 100 cases in the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords (before it was replaced by the new Supreme Court), more than 20 cases in the Supreme Court since its creation in 2009, more than 25 cases in the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg and over 30 cases in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
He appears both for Claimants and for Respondents –whether government departments or other public bodies. He acted for Gina Miller in the Supreme Court in September 2019 when the Court held, by 11-0, that the Prime Minister had unlawfully prorogued Parliament and so Parliament was recalled the next day. His current and pending cases in the Supreme Court include litigation in the fields of employment law, trusts law, patent law and commercial law.
