However, HMRC retains the power to examine historical matters stretching back up to two decades in the most serious cases, and UK-situated assets remain within their jurisdiction regardless of where the owner physically resides. https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/cross-border-tax-scrutiny-what-non-residents-need-to-know-about-uk-tax-investigationsMary Younghttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-quarterly-round-up-q4-2025Mon, 05 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000This quarterly civil fraud update provides a summary of reported decisions handed down in the courts of England and Wales in the period of October - December 2025.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-quarterly-round-up-q4-2025Abigail Hall and Harvey Benjamin-Lainghttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/2025-in-review-civil-fraudMon, 08 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000In 2025, two High Court rulings, Apollo XI Ltd v Nexedge Markets Ltd and J&J Snack Foods Corp & ICEE Corp v Ralph Peters & Sons Ltd highlighted the strict nature of the duty of full and frank disclosure in without notice applications. In both cases, the court discharged freezing injunctions after finding that the applicants had failed to meet the requisite standard of candour and fair presentation. These decisions serve as a clear reminder that when seeking urgent relief without notifying the other party, applicants must present all material facts - including those that may undermine their case, and ensure the court receives a balanced and accurate account.              https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/2025-in-review-civil-fraudElliot Grosvenor-Taylorhttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/victims-of-fraud-series-part-3-what-can-i-do-if-the-fraudster-has-disappeared-persons-unknown-injunctionsThu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000Where the identity of a person or group of people responsible for a fraud is not known, the courts have recognised that it may be appropriate in certain circumstances to allow a claimant to issue proceedings and obtain an injunction (both interim and final) against such individuals. These injunctions are referred to as “persons unknown injunctions” and they have become increasingly prominent in recent years.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/victims-of-fraud-series-part-3-what-can-i-do-if-the-fraudster-has-disappeared-persons-unknown-injunctionsHannah Fitzwilliamhttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/victims-of-fraud-series-part-2-using-information-orders-to-identify-a-fraudster-and-trace-assetsTue, 25 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000One of the most alarming aspects of falling victim to fraud is knowing where to start. It is very common for a victim to know almost nothing about what has happened, except for the fact that they have been scammed and the assets have gone. However, there are options available even if you don’t know the identity of the fraudster and the assets have, apparently, disappeared.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/victims-of-fraud-series-part-2-using-information-orders-to-identify-a-fraudster-and-trace-assetsLaurence Clarkehttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/victims-of-fraud-series-part-1-why-acting-fast-mattersThu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000In cases of fraud, the first 24 to 48 hours can determine whether stolen assets are recoverable or not. Fraudsters are often sophisticated, moving funds through multiple accounts, jurisdictions, or even converting them into cryptocurrency within hours.  It is important to have a plan so that you understand the immediate steps you would take in the event of fraud, as delay can mean that your assets are dissipated and recovery becomes difficult.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/victims-of-fraud-series-part-1-why-acting-fast-mattersMary Younghttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-case-update-q3-2025Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0100This quarterly civil fraud update provides a summary of reported decisions handed down in the courts of England and Wales in the period of July - September 2025.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-case-update-q3-2025Mary Younghttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-case-update-q2-2025Tue, 19 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0100This quarterly civil fraud update provides a summary of reported decisions handed down in the courts of England and Wales in the period of April - June 2025.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-case-update-q2-2025Katie Allardhttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/communication-series-part-4-deceitful-dialogue-how-misrepresentations-shape-fraud-claimsThu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 +0100Misrepresentation is, at its core, a misuse of communication: words used to deceive and not to inform. A misrepresentation is a false statement made by one party (the defendant) to another party (the claimant), which leads the claimant to believe something untrue. In certain circumstances, it is possible for a defendant to be liable for representations made by a third party.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/communication-series-part-4-deceitful-dialogue-how-misrepresentations-shape-fraud-claimsMary Younghttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-quarterly-round-up-q1-2025Wed, 23 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0100This quarterly civil fraud update provides a summary of reported decisions handed down in the courts of England and Wales in the period of January - March 2025.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-quarterly-round-up-q1-2025Mary Younghttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-quarterly-round-up-q4-2024Mon, 27 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000This quarterly civil fraud update provides a summary of reported decisions handed down in the courts of England and Wales in the period of October - December 2024.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-quarterly-round-up-q4-2024Mary Younghttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-quarterly-round-up-q3-2024Fri, 25 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0100This quarterly civil fraud update provides a summary of reported decisions handed down in the courts of England and Wales in the period of July - September 2024.https://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/civil-fraud-quarterly-round-up-q3-2024Laurence Clarkehttps://www.kingsleynapley.co.uk/insights/blogs/dispute-resolution-law-blog/settle-smart-series-part-four-setting-aside-a-settlement-agreement-for-fraud-allegations-of-fraud-not-some-kind-of-open-sesameThu, 17 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0100Our series focused on the settlement of disputes considers issues encountered by practitioners across a range of dispute resolution specialities.
