Sarah Prager, KC
Sarah Prager has acted for many years on behalf of claimants and defendants in travel and cross border cases. She has acted on behalf of consumers, travellers, schools, insurers, tour operators, travel agents and suppliers in claims arising out of the Athens and Montreal Conventions, the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, and other consumer legislation, as well as in contract and at common law. She has been involved in a number of important ground breaking cases in the area, including the leading cases on local standards (Holden v First Choice Limited, Japp v On the Beach), on assumption of responsibility in this context (Harrison v Jagged Globe) and on damages in holiday claims (Milner v Carnival).
She also undertakes cross border work governed by foreign law, and has acted in claims brought under French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Finnish, Irish, Canadian, American, South African, Chinese and many other applicable laws. She was co-opted onto the experts’ advisory panel to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation for the purpose of advising on its international Tourism Code, which has now been adopted by the UNWTO and operates to clarify and improve the relations between consumers, tour operators and suppliers internationally. Together with her compatriots at Deka Chambers Matthew Chapman KC, Jack Harding, Dominique Smith, Thomas Yarrow and Henk Soede she co-writes the leading textbook on travel law, Saggerson on Travel Law and Litigation, now in its seventh edition.
Sarah was appointed a KC in 2023.
