Paul Erdunast
Paul is contributing the chapters on damages, deductions and benefits to Binghams’ Personal Injury and Motor Claims Cases (2023).
He has a broad practice across both private and public law. He acts on behalf of both claimants and defendants in fast-track and multi-track personal injury cases. He is regularly instructed to advise and draft pleadings across the spectrum of RTA and EL/PL claims. He is instructed as sole counsel in cases well above his year of call, including where the PSLA element alone is higher than the multi-track threshold, those involving third parties, and cases where the evidential issues are complex.
He appears in fast-track trials, CCMCs, applications and a range of other hearings in personal injury and credit hire matters. This includes claims where there are allegations of fundamental dishonesty.
His broader civil and public law practice spans immigration, public inquiries and public law more broadly, including public international law. Paul is the co-author of Handbook for Legal Practitioners: Using the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration as an Interpretative Tool. He has drafted judicial review pleadings in numerous immigration matters.
He is instructed as a junior to the Brook House Inquiry. He is currently acting on behalf of the East Turkistan Government in Exile in their complaint to the International Criminal Court regarding allegations of genocide and crimes against humanity being perpetrated against the Uyghur and other Turkic peoples in China. He has spoken publicly on an expert panel regarding China’s treatment of the Uyghur people.
