In brief: Donn & Co takes on might of US Army

A team of lawyers from Manchester firm Donn & Co is taking on the US Army in Atlanta this week. Senior partner Raymond Donn, partner Hilary Meredith and legal executive Nicky Hunt are fighting for compensation after UK soldiers were involved in a fatal crash in 1993. One soldier was killed and 13 others were seriously injured in the accident. The driver, an American soldier, was found to be over the drink-driving limit and was sentenced to two years for vehicular homicide.
