Summary

The case of Maina Kumari Rai v Advantage Insurance Company Limited (T/A Hastings Insurance) [2026] EWHC 784 (KB) provides a good reminder that previous criticism can be brought up to discredit your expert evidence.

  • Make sure you properly reflect on previous criticism and consider how you may wish to adapt your approach.
  • If you have omitted certain tests or assessments make sure you state clearly within your report why you have not considered any particular methodology or evidence.
