Taking on a Corporate Giant: David v Goliath Legal Cases
Description
Many people are inspired by stories of individual litigants, often with few financial resources and little assistance, taking on large corporations in court and fighting for their rights.
This lecture will explore some of those stories, from Thomas Cook to the islanders in Barbuda, and from the perspective of a lawyer who has represented many Davids against many Goliaths.
A lecture by Leslie Thomas QC
