Ned has a particular strength in the law concerning habitats, protected species and animals.  Recent work in this area includes defending the Heather and Grass etc. Burning (England) Regulations 2021, representing Natural England in challenges to the introduction of fish passes in the Norfolk Broads and defending a judicial review brought by Water UK of the implementation of the Farming Rules for Water.

Ned has advised both acted in and advised on cases concerning the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).  He has also acted in cases concerning animal health (most notably Geronimo the alpaca – MacDonald v APHA [2021] EWHC 2325 and R (MacDonald) v SSEFRA [2019] EWHC 1783 (Admin); [2019] ACD 97), zoo licensing and the licensing of dangerous dogs (R (Stronge) v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis [2021] EWHC 766 (Admin); [2021] 4 WLR 78 and Webb v Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset [2017] EWHC 3311 (Admin); [2018] 1 WLR 5001).

In particular, Ned has a good understanding of local government law and regularly advises local authorities on a range of public law issues, including the extent of their duties and the scope of their powers.  He advised Transport for London on the Mayor’s proposal to introduce a direct vision standard for HGVs to reduce collisions involving vulnerable road users (the Greater London (Restriction of Goods Vehicles) Traffic Order 1985 (Amendment) Order 2019). 

Ned has also been involved in a number of matters relating to the provisions in the Localism Act 2011, including R (O'Neill) v London Borough of Lambeth [2016] EWHC 2551 (Admin) (on, among other things, the general power of competence).
