Her recent cases include:

  • Represented the Defendant Trust in a case where it was alleged that the Claimant had not been properly consented for spinal surgery and the surgery itself was performed negligently. The claim was discontinued shortly before trial.
  • Acted for the Claimant in a claim relating to a delayed diagnosis of a CSF leak, leading to meningitis which resulted in severe neurological deficits. The claim settled shortly prior to trial in excess of £10 million. Led by Gerard McDermott KC.

Jasmine accepts instructions across the full range of serious injury litigation and has experience in road traffic claims, employers’ liability, occupiers’ liability and public liability matters.  Her cases typically involve life changing injuries.

Jasmine regularly represents both Claimants and Defendants at trial, quantum hearings, interlocutory hearings and costs and case management conferences.  She is an adept negotiator and has secured favourable outcomes for her clients in mediations, round table meetings and joint settlement meetings.
