Personal Injury Add this expertise to your shortlist Febienne Green is a barrister specialising in personal injury and costs cases.
During the first six months of pupillage, she was instructed on interlocutory hearings, including costs, infant approval and relief from sanctions hearings, as well as case management conferences. Febienne developed her advocacy ability and an understanding of civil practice, whilst demonstrating her ability to acquire knowledge and adapt quickly. During this time, She also shadowed her pupil supervisors and senior members of the team in fast-track trials, conferences and some interlocutory hearings.
During her final six months of pupillage, Febienne was instructed on interlocutory hearings and fast-track trials, including where fundamental dishonesty was alleged in all personal injury cases, such as employers’, occupiers and public liability as well as road traffic accidents.
She also ran professional conferences with instructing solicitors and client conferences to address prospects and quantum assessments. She balanced this court work with a strong paperwork practice, in drafting advices on prospects, quantum, the risks of fundamental dishonesty and particulars of claim, schedule of loss and court orders.
Recent cases include:
RH v A company: established in cross-examination of the defendant witness that the claimant had followed his training, until just after his injury, utilising CCTV footage and timeframes established in the defendant’s interview records. This proved the claimant’s case and defeated the defendant’s contributory negligence arguments.
MH v A company: persuaded the judge in closing submissions to limit contributory negligence to 5% in an employers’ liability case, where the claimant injured his back whilst independently hoisting a service user who was known to require 2-to-1 care when being lifted.
PR v A company: persuaded the judge in an interlocutory hearing to attach a penal notice to a pre-action disclosure order against a Litigant-in-Person who was previously the CEO of the defendant company, utilising case law. The hearing had been adjourned twice before and Febienne secured costs reserved in the second hearing, which resulted in a costs order for all three hearings.
