For the claimant, NMC Health PLC (in administration): Brick Court’s Simon Salzedo KC, Tom Pascoe and Chintan Chandrachud, and 39 Essex’s James Shaerf, instructed by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan partners Richard East, Aidan O’Rourke and Nikolas Bruce-Smith, and associates Will Bartlett, Paige Coulter, Antonia Glover, Neerja Gurnani and Alex Quirk.
