In AH (1) & SW (2) v AA Underwriting Limited, the two claimants had brought late notified claims for alleged whiplash injuries sustained in a low speed collision.  The claims were dismissed after cross examination in a one-day trial in the Exeter County Court.

This was on the basis that no injuries had been sustained as a result of the collision with the only explanation for the presentation of the claims being dishonesty where the claimants’ accounts of injury had unravelled when challenged. QOCs was disapplied under CPR44.16.
