Richard Handyside KC
‘Very thoughtful, very intelligent, and a particularly powerful advocate. Richard strikes exactly the right tone in court, arguing forcefully for his client’s case in a highly persuasive way.’
Fountain Court Chambers boasts ‘strength in depth and a roster of very impressive and talented barristers’, regularly appearing in high-profile disputes in the Commercial Court, Chancery Division, and international commercial arbitrations. Richard Handyside KC represented the claimant in Allianz v JD Williams, a case related to compensation paid to customers for the mis-selling of insurance products, while Laura John KC and Samuel Ritchie acted for the defendant. In NMC Healthcare v Dubai Islamic Bank and others, a significant dispute arising from the administration of the UAE-based healthcare group following the discovery of a multi-million-pound fraud within the business, Bankim Thanki KC and Nico Leslie represented the claimants. In Philipp v Barclays Bank, Patrick Goodall KC, David Murray, and Ian Bergson defended Barclays Bank in a Supreme Court case concerning the liability of banks to customers who fall victim to Authorised Push Payment frauds; the claimants unsuccessfully sought to extend the Quincecare duty into this context. James Duffy KC was appointed silk in March 2024.
