Fundamental dishonesty has become one of the most powerful weapons in the defendant armoury, and one of the greatest risks for claimant practitioners, making a thorough understanding of the latest authorities indispensable.

This webinar examines the latest developments in the law and practice of fundamental dishonesty through the lens of recent case law. We will consider how the courts are applying the statutory test, the continuing development of the “substantial injustice” exception, the procedural and evidential issues that arise when dishonesty is alleged, and the practical lessons from the newest authorities.

Topics covered include:

  • When allegations of fundamental dishonesty should be pleaded
  • How allegations are proved in practice
  • The limits of surveillance evidence
  • The costs consequences for unsuccessful allegations
  • Practical claimant strategies

This webinar is a must-watch for anyone working within Personal Injury.

All Levels – this can be picked up throughout anyones professional career regardless of experience

  • Identify when an allegation of fundamental dishonesty is properly arguable.
  • Understand the latest High Court guidance on section 57 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015.
  • Recognise the limits of surveillance and social media evidence.
  • Advise clients on the risks of exaggeration, inconsistency and credibility.
  • Respond strategically to allegations of fundamental dishonesty from pre-action through to trial.
  • Fundamental dishonesty is about deliberate deception, not a weak or exaggerated claim
  • Credibility is won—or lost—long before trial
  • Challenge weak FD allegations—but never underestimate the consequences of a successful one
