Caroline Stone’s practice focuses on public and regulatory, employment and asset forfeiture law. Recent cases of note include acting as junior counsel in a 6-week ‘fitness to practise’ hearing before the General Medical Council and litigation involving a national security dimension.

In March 2011, Caroline was appointed to the ‘C Panel’ of the Attorney-General’s List of Junior Counsel.

Caroline’s meticulous attention to detail, pragmatic advice, personable approach and keen instinct for legal argument are among her key strengths.

Prior to joining 3PB, Caroline was a Judicial Assistant at the War Crimes Chamber of the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, which culminated in assisting to draft a verdict (2007). In 2006, she worked as a researcher on the ‘Permission Stage Project’, a Nuffield Foundation-sponsored study into the mechanics of judicial review, undertaken by the Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex. This was preceded by a 7-month stint as a Legal Intern at the Public Law Project.

In 2009, Caroline was nominated for a Bar Pro Award for her involvement in R (Compton) v Wiltshire PCT [2009] EWHC 1824 (Admin), for which she received a special commendation from the judging panel.

Following the award of an outgoing Pegasus Scholarship, in late 2011 Caroline will undertake a 2 month secondment at the Legal Resources Centre, Cape Town, one of South Africa’s pre-eminent public-interest law clinics. Cases will involve refugee and housing law.
