Fraud

Claimant and solicitors pays costs in fundamentally dishonest case

HF and AXA have secured “a victory in the on-going fight against fraud and exaggerated claims” against not only the claimant but the solicitors acting on their behalf. QC Law were ordered to pay approximately half of the costs payable by a claimant whose injury claim was found to be fundamentally dishonest. They were also ordered to pay a similar sum (over £2,000) in costs of the application, having contested that they should be ordered to contribute to the defendant’s costs of the case.
