Civil Fraud
Fountain Court offers unrivalled strength and depth in this field and its longstanding position as the pre-eminent set is reflected in the fact that members at all levels have been instructed in most, if not all, of the recent leading civil fraud cases, both domestic and international, including the Cable & Wireless/Pender litigation, Tajik Aluminium v Ermatov, NatWest v Rabobank Nederland, Barclays Bank v El Alami, Three Rivers District Council v Bank of England, AWG v Morrison and Dubai Aluminium v Salaam.
Members are familiar with the procedural law relating to freezing orders and other injunctive remedies, with the substantive law (including restitution, constructive trusts, proprietary and tracing claims, deceit, conspiracy and related economic torts) and with associated practice areas such as Banking & Finance and with jurisdictional issues. They are used to acting as part of a team (often with foreign lawyers) and to working alongside multi-disciplinary expert input on issues such as forensic accountancy and foreign law.
