Jo Moore successful in recovering Employment Tribunal costs following strike out - Mar 2024
Inquests
Jo is keen to develop her practice in coronial law and inquests. She has appeared on a pro bono basis for AvMA in a seven-day inquest, representing the family of Owen Widlake, a newborn baby who died following a period in Neonatal Intensive Care on the Isle of Wight. The Coroner made a Report to Prevent Future Deaths in relation to multiple failures in the neonatal unit, both individual and systemic, which came to light during the inquest.
Jo has represented a wide range of interested parties at inquests and PIRHs, including a community care company, a detention centre, a prison and a number of families.
Jo is recommended as a Rising Star in the Legal 500 2022 Guide and is described as “extremely diligent, well prepared and takes a thorough approach. Jo is very responsive to needs, and a calm but robust advocate who fights her corner well.“
