david.manknell@1cor.com Profile Described as "exceptionally bright and hard-working” (Chambers and Partners 2011), David Manknell practises in public and administrative law, and in healthcare and medical law. David was appointed to the Attorney General's B Panel of Junior Counsel to the Crown in March 2010, having previously been a member of the C Panel since 2006. He regularly appears in judicial review proceedings in a broad range of areas including healthcare, regulatory proceedings, asylum, immigration, national security matters and prisons, and often on further appeal to the Court of Appeal. His public law practice also includes environmental regulation and appearance at inquests where these involve either healthcare issues or deaths in custody.

He also has experience in mental health law and best interests cases, and healthcare-related claims for judicial review (including patient care, resources issues and hospital closures). David acts for healthcare practitioners in disciplinary proceedings against them, with particular experience with the GMC, NMC and HPC.
