T v J - The High Court, UK.
A complex investment fraud perpetrated on my client who was from the USA. An investment of $3 million was made in Mauritius. My client had taken the time and trouble to ensure that the company she was investing in were a legitimate business. My client became suspicious when the investment did not come to fruition, and she heard nothing from her Mauritian counterpart. To my client's credit, she had completed most of the investigative work and established that the party responsible for perpetrating the fraud was an individual who lived in the UK and that he had identifiable assets. On further investigation, she discovered that her funds had been diverted to the UK.
My client had the option of pursuing a complaint to the police or making an application for civil recovery in the UK High Court. She chose to continue the matter in the High Court and was successful in having her money returned.
