Position
Andrew specialises in international group claims, clinical negligence, personal injury and employment work.
Andrew’s group litigation work includes acting for the defendant in Kadie Kalma v African Minerals [2020] EWCA Civ 144 in the High Court and Court of Appeal. Andrew was instructed in the Gemfields litigation involving the operation of a ruby mine in Mozambique, and is currently instructed in Wambura v Barrick TZ Ltd, which involves the operation of a gold mine in Tanzania. He has acted on behalf of over 4,000 claimants following the loss of compensation monies paid out under a settlement arising out of the dumping of toxic waste in the Ivory Coast (Agouman v Leigh Day [2016] EWHC 1324 (QB)).
Andrew has a large clinical negligence and personal injury practice. He has, for example, recently acted at trial in a case involving alleged unnecessary and unconsented-for surgery for pancreatic cancer (Sarah Pepper v Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust [2020] EWHC 310) and a case in which causation of a signet ring cell colorectal cancer is disputed. His appellate work includes appearing before the Privy Council in Kamal Williams v Bermuda Hospitals Board [2016] AC 888.
