S1 E15 Caught in the Act: Fundamental Dishonesty on Trial

Please join us for our final episode of Season 1 of AlteaTalks as we ask, “when is a lie more than a lie?” In this episode we’re delighted to be joined by Claire Toogood KC to unpack "fundamental dishonesty" - the legal doctrine that’s being deployed with increasing frequency by Defendants in healthcare litigation. From weightlifting patients claiming disability to Facebook posts exposing fraudsters swimming with dolphins, Claire explains how this knock out line of defence is increasingly helping healthcare providers and their insurers fight back against exaggerated claims, with dishonest claimants risking financial ruin and even prison.
