Some cases might have some relatively low monetary value but still provide important principles. One such case was the recent decision in AXA Insurance v Kreyziue, where Mr Justice Johnson analysed what is and is not expected of the victim of #fraud, both in terms of pleading and disclosure. Here, Philip Gardner and Abbie Melvin review what lay at the heart of the case, what is required to plead an allegation of fraud, whether a party deliberately delay disclosure and discuss some useful lessons for fraud claimants. https://lnkd.in/e4p6ZZyx #frauddetection #fraudawareness #fraudprotection #law #lawfirm #lawyers

Can a claimant trap a fraudster by holding back winning disclosure until the defendant commits to his lie? Do you have to know what the truth was, or is it enough to be able to identify that what the fraudster represented was not the truth? I was fortunate to try and answer those questions with Abbie Melvin, one of our exceptional trainees. Please do take a read! #Fraud #EWHC #AXAInsurance

Defenses to an insurance fraud charge may include: -You did not make the alleged misstatements. -Others made the alleged misstatements without your authorization. -You did not intend to deceive the insurance company. -Your statements were substantially true and accurate. -You believed your statements to be true and accurate. -You were mistaken about the true circumstances. -Your misstatements were not material to your claim. -Police and prosecutors violated your constitutional rights.

In the on-going fight against fraudulent claims, HF & Hastings Direct have seen a finding of fundamental dishonesty with the claimant’s solicitor also being held to account. This success clearly demonstrates the importance of pursuing cases where claimants and their solicitors seek to bypass reforms and vigorously defending them through to trial if needed. “Dishonest NTI claims have been a huge problem for the insurance industry since the implementation of the whiplash reforms, with claimants now incentivised to claim for additional injuries to falsely inflate the potential value of their claim.” - Jared Mallinson, Partner & Head of Counter Fraud “In the wake of the whiplash reforms we have seen a sharp rise in non-tariff injuries in the low value injury space. Whilst it remains our primary objective to ensure that innocent victims of accidents are fairly compensated, it is also crucial that we take a tough stance on those gaming the system at our customers’ expense.” - Kay Denyer FCIPS Chartered, Head of Claims Fraud, Hastings Direct Click to read the full article. #CounterFraud
