Garden Court Chambers is aware of the statements made by one of its members, which were reported on social media and elsewhere.
We are aware that these statements have attracted publicity and commentary in the media and on social media channels. The barrister concerned made the statements and publicised them in their individual capacity.
Those statements do not represent the views of Garden Court Chambers, and they should not be treated as reflecting any position held by Garden Court Chambers. Furthermore, Garden Court Chambers does not endorse the language and tone used to express them.
All members of Garden Court Chambers are members of the independent Bar of England and Wales, are self-employed and are regulated by the Bar Standards Board. Professional conduct of members is not regulated by Garden Court Chambers.
We take this opportunity as a Chambers to make clear that we unequivocally condemn racism and antisemitism in all its forms.
