IN THE CENTRAL LONDON COUNTY COURT

		26th January 2024

HHJ BAUCHER:

1. The Claimant, Mr Collins, pursued a claim against Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco) in relation to a collision between a Porsche registration GGZ 6086 and an Iveco Daily Van registration BA15 DGV driven by Darran Taylor (Part 20 Defendant), on 23 October 2019. For ease of reference, I shall refer to the parties by name throughout this judgment.
2. Prior to the commencement of proceedings Tesco made an interim payment of £15,560 to Mr Collins in respect of vehicle damage. The payment of £15,560 was made on a without prejudice basis.
3. Mr Collins served a Claim Form, Particulars of Claim, Schedule of Special Damages and medical report from Dr Khand on 21 October 2020, in which he sought to recover damages for vehicle damage in the sum of £15,560, credit hire of £7,974.96, and general damages for personal injury limited to £10,000.
4. On 19 November 2020 Tesco filed and served a Defence, Counterclaim and Part 20 Additional Claim challenging the veracity of the claim and alleging deceit and conspiracy against Mr Collins and Mr Taylor. On 15 July 2021 Mr Collins filed a Notice of Discontinuance of his claim.
5. Mr Taylor failed to file a Defence, disclose any documents or serve any witness evidence. On 29 September 2021 following a failure to respond to proceedings judgment was entered against the Mr Collins and Mr Taylor. The matter was therefore listed for an Assessment of Damages hearing in relation to the Counterclaim and Part 20 proceedings.
6. Tesco identified a further litigated 12 cases which are linked to this action and other non- litigated cases. All the cases are set out in the table below:

7. Mr Pulford appeared for Tesco. Mr Xavier represented Mr Collins. There was no appearance by Mr Taylor. At the outset of the hearing Mr Xavier advised his client had made a series of Admissions pursuant to CPR 14.2 whereby Mr Collins agreed to reimburse Tesco for the interim payment and damages for the compensatory element in the sum of £22,568.44 and £17,000 in respect of exemplary damages. Mr Pulford did not ask the court to go beyond the terms of the admission and the case accordingly proceeded to quantum in respect of Mr Taylor alone. I am grateful for Mr Pulford's diligent preparation and presentation which I have no doubt had considerable bearing on the admissions made and consequent saving in court time.

Dramatis Personae

8. The following individuals featured in the claim:

Grzegor Collins	Claimant	Assessment of Damages	Defendant	Driver
Darran Taylor	P20 Defendant	Assessment of Damages	Defendant	Tesco Driver
Mohamed Suleman	/	/	Witness	Tesco Driver
Krysztof Palenta	/	/	Witness	Tesco Driver
Stalin Salazar	/	/	Witness	Tesco Driver
Jumana Nusseibeh	/	/	Witness	Witness statement
Graham Douglas	/	/	Witness	Fraud Analyst
Julie Hawkins	/	/	Witness	Tesco Fleet Legal Manager
Julie Plumb	/	/	Witness	Tesco Insurable Risk Manager

9. Tesco relied upon written evidence from Mr Suleman, Mr Palenta, Mr Salazar, Ms Nusseibeh, Mr Douglas, Ms Hawkins and Mrs Plumb pursuant to the directions given in this matter and the associated actions.
10. Tesco's case is that this accident was staged by Mr Collins and Mr Taylor assisted by other, unknown individuals, and this accident was but one of a series of staged targeted accidents involving drivers employed at the Greenford depot to recover compensation from Tesco. Having obtained judgment in the Counterclaim and Part 20 Claim the torts of deceit and unlawful means Conspiracy are established. The task is to assess the extent of the damages in relation to Mr Taylor's dishonesty.
11. I handed down judgment in the cases of Yaman [2023] EW Misc 15 (CC), Mouradi [2023] EW Misc 16 (CC), Morgan [2023] EW Misc 17 (CC), Bahceci [2023] EW Misc 18 (CC) and Alghafagi [2023] EW Misc 18 (CC) on 17^th November 2023. In those actions the torts of conspiracy and deceit were contested by various parties. In those judgments there was an extensive review of the evidence relied upon by Tesco. Tesco succeeded in all actions. I found that those cases and the other linked actions were part of an extensive conspiracy to defraud Tesco. In the light of my detailed findings in those cases in relation to the evidence of, Mr Suleman, Mr Palenta and Mr Salazar there is no purpose to be gained from a further review of that evidence in this action.
12. Mr Taylor whilst employed by Tesco was involved in five accidents within three months on the 11^th September 2019 (Case 5), 2^nd October 2019 (Case 25), the index accident on the 23^rd October 2019, 6^th November 2019 (Case 10) and 21^st November 2019 (Case 11).
13. Mr Taylor also telephoned to report the accident. In that report he described how he was reversing and described the damage to the Porsche as "light." When he was subsequently interviewed about this accident and other incidents on 21^st July 2020, he said that he must have been reversing as the "Tom Tom told me to."
14. The index accident also needs to be considered in the context of the Similar Fact Evidence.

Similar Fact Evidence

15. Graham Douglas provided two witness statements setting out details of the linked cases and the links relating to this claim. Those links were summarised by Mr Pulford and are attached as Appendices 1 and 2 of this judgment.
16. The relevance of the Similar Fact Evidence is amply illustrated by the actions of Mr Taylor and the fact that his other four accidents generated Cases 5, 10, 11 and 25. The incident in Case 5 connects with Cases 14 and 32. The accident on the 21^st November 2019 which resulted in a claim in Case 11 connects the index accident to Cases 6, 16 and 30 and to Awara Mario ( the owner of Hano Autos). The Claimant in Case 25, Mr Danila, was also involved in another accident involving a Tesco vehicle; Case 28. The vehicles in Cases 25 and 28 were stored at Prime Autocare the same garage used in Cases 26 and 32.
17. Case 28 was a collision involving Tesco's driver Mr Parmar. Mr Parmar has confessed to five stage managed crashes when he was to be paid for his actions; Cases 2, 7, 12, 13 and 28. In Cases 2 and 13 the vehicle was allegedly taken for inspection at Hano Autos at 2 Creek Road. That false inspection address has also been provided in Cases 1, 4, 5, 6, 15, 16, 19 and 29. Links from Hano Autos extend to Cases 11,12,18 and 29.
18. I have no doubt given the nature of the accident and the multiplicity of links established by the Similar Fact Evidence this accident was one of a series of stage-managed accidents and Mr Taylor was a party to a substantial conspiracy.

Damages

19. I am satisfied from the statement of Mrs Plumb that Tesco is entitled to recover £1441.65 for the internal work engaged in this investigation. I do not consider it appropriate to reduce those damages because Tesco employ persons in any event to investigate fraud. Had this conspiracy not been pursued those individuals could have been deployed on other tasks.
20. Tesco also seeks an award of exemplary damages. Mr Pulford relying on Axa Insurance Plc v 1) Financial Claims Solutions 2) Mohammed Aurangzaib 3) Hakim Mohammed Abdul [2018] EWCA Civ 1330 asked me to make an award of £17,000 against Mr Taylor.
21. Exemplary damages are an exception to normal tortious principles. Their award and a distillation of the principles and the law in cases such as this case is set out at paragraphs 25 – 35 of that judgment which I gratefully adopt. At paragraph 35 LJ Flaux said:

"As I have said, this case is a paradigm one for the award of exemplary damages. As to the amount of such damages, as was stated by Arden LJ in Ramzan v Brookwide at [82], the sum must be principled and proportionate. As in that case, given the need to deter and punish the outrageous conduct and abusive behaviour in the present context, the principled basis is to make a punitive award. The respondents have chosen not to place before the court any evidence as to their means so that it is not appropriate to limit the amount of any award by reference to ability or inability to pay …. Given the seriousness of the conduct of the respondents and the need to deter them and others from engaging in this form of "cash for crash" fraud, which has become far too prevalent and which adversely affects all those in society who are policyholders who face increased insurance premiums, I consider that the appropriate award of exemplary damages is that each of the first, second and third respondents should be liable to pay £20,000."

22. In that case one of the Respondents acted as if it were a firm of solicitors authorised to conduct litigation, which it was not, thereby committing a criminal offence under s14 of the Legal Services Act 2007. The Court of Appeal described the fraud itself as "sophisticated, well-planned and brazen" which "involved serious abuse of the process of the court." It involved fictious credit hire documents and medical reports in relation to five claims in respect of two separate accidents with two Axa insured drivers. Axa refused indemnity in each case. There are therefore some similarities but also differences with the instant case. The Court of Appeal was primarily concerned with the principle of making such an award but made an award of exemplary damages of £20,000 in respect of each of the three Respondents. Whilst Mr Pulford said the case is a "useful high watermark" I do not consider the decision should be taken as setting any particular benchmark. In every case it is for the judge to assess the extent of the outrageous conduct. However, any decision as to the amount of damages must be principled and proportionate as per Arden LJ in Ramzan v Brookwide Ltd [2011] EWCA Civ 985 at paragraph 82.
23. I am satisfied the accident was a sham and Mr Taylor had been paid "cash to crash" as set out in the evidence of Mr Suleman, Mr Palenta and Mr Salazar. I find Mr Collins also paid for this "service" in the same manner as witnessed by Ms Nusseibeh (see findings in Mouradi). Mr Collins, and others unknown, induced a trusted employee in a position of responsibility to breach that trust. Mr Taylor no doubt emboldened by the payments he had received in what he considered to be two earlier successful sham crashes committed a further gross breach of trust in the index accident. I find he deliberately crashed his Tesco van into Mr Collins. Mr Taylor then lied to Tesco about the initial extent of that damage in his Sopp telephone call and followed that up with an elaborate false description in his accident report. He further lied when interviewed when he blamed his actions on his satellite navigation system. Blaming the satellite navigation was a feature in the Bahceci and Yaman cases. Mr Taylor's lies coupled with those of Mr Collins caused immediate loss to Tesco through the payment of an interim sum. Mr Taylor's actions also damaged Tesco's relations with other employees, as they too fell under suspicion. Ms Hawkins also advised that, partly due to this claim, and others, Tesco updated the CCTV cameras on their entire fleet of vehicles at substantial cost. This is another aggravating factor.
24. However, what distinguishes this case and the other linked actions from other matters which have proceeded to the courts for exemplary damages award is the wholesale nature of the fraud and the extent of the conspiracy which is set out in the Similar Fact Evidence. This is not a case of two accidents and five passengers as in Axa. This is a fraud and conspiracy of unprecedented scale which engaged this court in five weeks of continuous Tesco litigation involving the consideration and reference to 31 related matters embodied in 60,000 documents. After the conclusion of those five trials the court has been required to consider the Assessment of Damages claims in eight further matters where claims were pursued. The sheer scale of the fraud must be reflected in the amount of exemplary damages awarded.
25. Mr Taylor has not furnished this court with any information as to his income and assets. I have taken into account Mr Pulford's representations as to the amount of any award but I do not consider damages of £17,000 to be sufficient to deter Mr Taylor and others, from engaging in "cash for crash" fraud. I am satisfied that given the extent of the egregious conduct and the extent of this conspiracy as set out in the Similar Fact Evidence Mr Taylor should pay £18,000.
26. There will be judgment for Tesco accordingly. I shall ask Counsel to calculate the appropriate interest in respect of the compensatory element and to prepare the final order to reflect the agreement with Mr Collins.
27. Finally, this case, and others, would not have been brought to light without the diligence and forensic work undertaken by those instructed on behalf of Tesco. It is to their credit that they have worked tirelessly to ensure all the evidence is put before the court in a comprehensive objective manner. Further they have complied with all my directions in relation to that presentation thereby ensuring all the parties have had every opportunity to consider it and respond accordingly. Their endeavours have also enabled me to release the judgment at the earliest opportunity. I am grateful for their assistance.

3.1. The Finance was in the name of Miss Aneta Anna Klimowicz (formerly Aneta Pawenska) (17/05/1993) of 16 Arragon Gardens, London, SW16 5LX (albeit the driving licence provided gave an address of 29 Northcote Avenue, Southall, UB1 2AY).

3.4. A telephone call from the finance agreement holder on 05/11/2019 addressed the arrears on the account and set up an authorised third-party, said to be a cousin, who would ensure that the account would be paid up to date as the account holder was unable to do so. In a second call, placed one hour later, Motonovo were advised that the vehicle had been written off in an incident on 22/10/2019 (the actual date of the incident is 23/10/2019) in which a Tesco delivery vehicle had collided with the Claimant's vehicle.
