Amongst the many legal services provided by the law firm Irwin Mitchell, which includes most types of corporate and personal law cases, one of the more specialised services they offer is legal representation in cases involving human rights issues. Part of the large Public Law team employed by Irwin Mitchell includes legal representatives specialising in this area, including Yogi Amin, who won the Legal Aid Awards Social and Welfare Lawyer of the Year. He is the head of the team devoted to dealing with cases of this nature.
This highly experienced and qualified team involves some of the finest Human Rights lawyers in the whole of the UK and amongst the most common types of cases they are called upon to handle are – those involving claims against the police, and more general human rights abuses. The first of these specifically relates to issues of wrongful arrest, or injury resulting from excessive use of force by police officers. There is no dispute that police officers perform a difficult and demanding role that, for the most part, is handled in exemplary fashion. However on occasion, there are failures to meet the responsibilities the police have to the general public, which can result in issues such as wrongful arrest or injury to a member of the public due to an excess of force by the police in the carrying out of their duties. In this type of instance, the person who has been the victim of one of these circumstances is entitled to pursue a claim for damages, which will require the assistance of lawyers specialising in matters of Human Rights and their abuses.
Other types of situations in which a person may feel that his or her human rights have been violated can range from a situation in which you, or a member of your family, has been denied access to medical treatment because of finance, or a situation where your child has been excluded from attending school, without a good reason. Whatever the particular issue, Irwin Mitchell employs a team whose areas of specialism cover every area of Human Rights law – including prison law, disability law, social and healthcare and education law.
