There has been much discussion as to what exactly fundamental dishonesty means and when it will apply.

Specifically covered are: An overall review of the qualified one way costs shifting regime. Defining fundamental dishonesty. How to deal with fundamental dishonesty in practice, and what to look out for. Strike out applications and Section 57. Discontinuance. The cost consequences of fundamental dishonesty.The book is written with both claimant and defendant practitioners in mind.ABOUT THE AUTHORJames Bentley is a personal injury and clinical negligence barrister based at Guildhall Chambers in Bristol.
