Lies, exaggeration and fundamental dishonesty

It was Lord Justice Ward who said in a memorable judgment that “lies are told every day “ in courts throughout the jurisdiction. This webinar will look at the legal consequences of such impropriety. Issues include:

• Must fraud be pleaded?
• Fundamental dishonesty in injury claims
• What happens if dishonesty is identified in non-injury claims
• Costs consequences when fraud is wrongly alleged?
• Can the dishonest element of a claim be excised so that the remainder proceeds?
• Contempt proceedings under the new CPR 81
• Can anything be done about alleged dishonesty under a pre-action protocol?
