Civil Fraud
Amelia has appeared in Fast Track hearings involving pleadings of fundamental dishonesty, predominantly in LVI accidents, an area which she finds particularly interesting. She welcomes instructions in this area and is well versed in the recent case law and costs consequences of any such findings.
Amelia has also had a high success rate with findings of fraudulent misrepresentation in credit hire cases, having recently being praised on record by a Judge for her delicate cross examination on the matter which lead to him finding the credit hire contract was void.
