Surveillance Evidence in Personal Injury Claims - Current Rules, Case Law & Tactics

Introduction

With courts showing an increasing willingness to punish fundamental dishonesty, surveillance evidence has become an ever more powerful tool in a defendant’s arsenal.

Such evidence can be decisive in determining the outcome of a claim, and a strong understanding of both the procedural framework and practical strategies for handling it is now essential for all injury lawyers, regardless of which side they represent.

This webinar explores key case law alongside the most recent developments, addressing both procedural requirements and potential consequences.

It will also consider the significant advantages of using covert recordings to challenge the impartiality of defence experts, including the complex issues surrounding admissibility and how such evidence can ultimately undermine expert credibility, helping to prevent serious prejudice to the claimant.
