Case studies

Our London based property investors team acted for Aviva Investors Pensions Limited (AIPL) in relation to its acquisition of a recently completed development in Welling, Kent.

Our team has assisted GE Fabbri Limited with its publishing agreements for over 20 years. GE Fabbri is a major UK-based publisher of partworks (collectable magazines), producing top quality publications for international markets. Recent titles include 007: The James Bond Car Collection, Shrek's Quests, and Dr Who DVD Files.

We advised property investment company Fourteen Ninety Two Limited on the £107 million refinancing of its property at 17 Columbus Courtyard, Canary Wharf, London.

Our client, an Indian doctor, had had his entry clearance application as a work permit holder refused. The entry clearance officer also imposed a 10 year re-entry ban.

Our client underwent rhinoplasty under the care of an Austrian plastic surgeon through Surgicare in the UK. The surgery was unsatisfactory, both aesthetically and as our client experienced problems with sensation.

Our client underwent a rhinoplasty that was negligently performed as too much bone was excised, resulting in a nose graft that should not have been needed.

In this case, a woman elected to undergo surgery to reduce her cup size, but this resulted in significant damage to her nipples because of the procedure and technique the surgeon adopted.

A young woman, who was self-conscious of her breast asymmetry and their size relative to her stature, sought surgical advice to lift her breasts and improve her appearance and confidence.

Claims arising from face lift surgery are, sadly, common. We have advised on a number of cases in this area.

We were able to secure more than £40,000 in damages for two girls injured after a driver lost control of her vehicle on a country lane and collided with them as they cycled with their father.

We assisted a male supermarket employee in recovering £20,000 in damages for injuries that he sustained at work. He slipped on a spillage left in situ and fell against a counter sustaining rib injuries.

Our client was 19 years old when he was involved in a road traffic accident in which he was the front seat passenger in a car driven by a friend. The defendant lost control of the car which collided with another car travelling in the opposite direction and overturned.
