Well done that Judge!
Discussion
Fantastic!!!!!
Well done that judge, this ruling does raise other questions for me. What about the medical expert - would it be wise to investigate every other claim where they provided the medical report!! All too often I think doctors are easily swayed by people who are putting on a act or they take the view that they get paid for performing the examination and ultimately don't care about the implications of their report?.

I was expecting this to be about the Laptop buyer being credit blacklisted.
I had a big spill in my youth. The car landed the correct way up on its wheels. I don't think I had whiplash.
Whiplash was only discovered a few years agoI had a big spill in my youth. The car landed the correct way up on its wheels. I don't think I had whiplash.
Prior to that people just accepted that if they were in a violent car crash they maybe a bit sore for a few days and if they were in a minimal crash that they just got on with life.reading the article the claim was pretty meaningless
there was no damage to the car, and the first person visited their doctor a week after, the second several weeks after
The problem is that these 2 pieces of work can get away with making such an obvious false claim, yet walk away nothing more than disappointed for wasting a day in court. They'll be on a no win no fee deal, so no loss to them. By the sounds of it they were suing their employer the home office , but i doubt they will have the balls to turn around and sack them for their blatant lies, or even take disciplinary action, they'll probably even have given them paid leave for any time off to deal with the fake work related injury and compensation claim.
Under different circumstances, a similar level of dishonesty and greed would end them facing criminal charges with possible jail time.

With respect that's b Prior to that people just accepted that if they were in a violent car crash they maybe a bit sore for a few days and if they were in a minimal crash that they just got on with life.ks. I was in a large crash at work and took 9 months of physiotherapy to regain full movement in my neck caused by whiplash and to stop getting pins and needles in my hand from the nerve damage caused when my head jolted violently (we were broadsided by a car doing 60+ whilst we were stationary across a carriageway). There was no compensation claim and I had no time off work, so nothing to be gained by bigging it up but by your thinking it was all a figment of my imagination like the slackers in the article?
