Counter Fraud

Paul has over 25 years’ experience in specialist areas of insurance claims, having joined HF in 1996. He played key roles in the establishment and growth of our costs and credit hire departments before going on to become a founder member of the counter-fraud department.

With a breadth of specialist knowledge in these and other volume areas, Paul has an eye for developing points arising out of the CPR. He pioneered the strategies of admissions to have claims allocated to the Small Claims Track and to restrict Multi-track cases to Fixed Recoverable Costs (see HF cases of Akhtar v Boland [2014] EWCA Civ 872, and Qader v Esure Services Ltd [2016] EWCA Civ 1109). Paul is well known and highly valued by clients for his technical expertise and strategic advice.
