We are delighted to announce the winners of the 2024 PNBA Essay Competition. The winning essay was written by Krupa Solanki. In second place was Tahirah Hayat and in third place was Abdalla Mohammed. We congratulate all three on their essays and look forward to welcoming them each of them on a work placement.
In the Autumn of 2024 the PNBA launched an essay competition in honour of Baroness Carr, Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales, and President of the PNBA. The competition was aimed at law students who have not yet secured the next step in their legal careers (for example) a pupillage or training contract and with a view to fostering interest in professional negligence law.
The title for 2024-2025 was “General use of the six-stage test for negligence set out in MGT/Meadows [2021] UKSC 21 would clearly improve the law in this area”
The top three essays were given to Baroness Carr to choose the eventual winner. The winner’s essay will be published in the Journal of Professional Negligence.
