Average Adjusters elect Sir Nigel Teare
Distinguished former High Court judge Sir Nigel Teare has been elected to serve as chairman of the Association of Average Adjusters for the year 2022/2023. He was nominated to succeed Michiel Starmans of Amsterdam-based Spliethoff Group as chairman at the annual general meeting in London of Fellows of the Association on 11 May 2022.
Sir Nigel retired from the High Court of England and Wales in 2020 and is now an arbitrator. In 1869, the year when the association was formed, the Suez Canal opened. And last year, over 150 years later, there was a serious casualty in the Canal.
Sir Nigel said: “I have no doubt that average adjusters will continue to adjust the financial consequences of these events as fairly and as efficiently as they always have done to the great benefit of the shipping industry.” (cj)
