Shairin has significant trial experience. Notable cases include Turner v Beddall (2021), where she successfully defended a claim on behalf of Hiscox relating to a cycle on cycle collision, which occurred on the Boris Johnson superhighway. Another notable case is Martini v Zeqo v Royal Sun Alliance Insurance PLC (1) AXA Corporate Solutions (2) Southern Rock Insurance (3) (2022), where Shairin successfully defended a multi-party road traffic collision on an unlit stretch of motorway, following a 4 day trial at the High Court. The case was unique given the multiplicity of parties, vehicles involved and the key road traffic consultants instructed by the various parties. This judgment in particular serves as a useful example for insurers in respect of “agony of the moment".
