Conversations with barrister Nicholas Wilkinson - Part 3

Narcissists in Divorce: The Narcissist Trap

In this episode Narcissism Expert Dr Supriya McKenna and UK solicitor Karin Walker speak to barrister Nicholas Wilkinson from leading London chambers One Hare Court. Nick has a wealth of experience in dealing with cases involving narcissists, and has been the instructed barrister in a number of high profile cases. He recently successfully represented Princess Haya of Jordan in the High Court during her divorce from the Ruler of Dubai. In this episode Nick runs through the specific considerations that are necessary when cross examining a narcissist on the witness stand, and gives his tips for how to do so. They also discuss the use of terms such as 'gaslighting' in court and why a narcissist's bad behaviour will not usually be relevant in determining a financial settlement.
