Pleading and Proving Fraud in Commercial Litigation
5 Jun
14:00 - 15:30
Fraud & Asset Recovery
This session will look at how to successfully bring or defend claims in fraud in the English courts. Given that English law does not recognise a single cause of action for ‘fraud’, the session will examine the various causes of action which lie against the perpetrators of fraud, and how those causes of action must be pleaded and then proved at trial (including discussion of recent decisions concerning the burden of proof in fraud claims). Interim remedies (such as freezing orders) and tactical questions will also be discussed.
