IN THE CENTRAL LONDON COUNTY COURT

		18th January 2024

HHJ BAUCHER:

1. The Claimant, Mr Abdulla, issued proceedings against Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco) in relation to a collision between a Vauxhall registration BF66 BNA and an Iveco Daily Van registration BD65 XEJ driven by Tesco's driver, Manish Parmar, (Part 20 Defendant) on 2nd January 2020. For ease of reference, I shall refer to the parties by name throughout this judgment.
2. Mr Abdulla served a Claim Form, Particulars of Claim in which he sought to recover damages for vehicle damage, credit hire charges and recovery and storage charges limited to £25,000.
3. On 22nd October 2020 Tesco filed and served an Amended Defence, Counterclaim and Part 20 Additional Claim. Tesco challenged the veracity of the claim, pleading that Mr Parmar intentionally drove into collision with Mr Abdulla's vehicle and alleging deceit and conspiracy on the part of Mr Abdulla and Mr Parmar.
4. Mr Abdulla's solicitors were removed from the court record on the 16^th July 2021 and thereafter Mr Abdulla has played no part in these proceedings. Judgment was entered on Tesco's Counterclaim on 27^th September 2021 and Mr Abdulla's claim was struck out on 23^rd September 2022. The proceedings in this case and other actions involving Mr Parmar have been stayed. The matter was accordingly listed for an Assessment of Damages hearing in relation to Mr Abdulla.
5. Tesco have identified a further litigated 12 cases which are linked to this action and other non-litigated linked cases and all the claims are set out in the table below:

Dramatis Personae

7. The following individuals featured in the claim:

Bakyiar Mohammed Abdulla	Claimant	Assessment of Damages	Claimant and Defendant	Third Party Vehicle Owner
Manish Parmar	First P20 Defendant	Stayed	Witness	Tesco Driver
Mohamed Suleman	/	/	Witness	Tesco Driver
Kysztof Palenta	/	/	Witness	Tesco Driver
Stalin Salazar	/	/	Witness	Tesco Driver
Graham Douglas	/	/	Witness	Fraud Analyst
Julie Hawkins	/	/	Witness	Tesco Fleet Legal Manager
Julie Plumb	/	/	Witness	Tesco Insurable Risk Manager
Karen Caramiello			Expert	Handwriting expert

8. Tesco relied upon written evidence from Mr Suleman, Mr Parmar, Mr Palenta, Mr Salazar, Mr Douglas, Ms Hawkins, Mrs Plumb and Ms Caramiello pursuant to the directions given in this matter and the associated actions.
9. Tesco's case is that this accident was staged by Mr Abdulla and Mr Parmar 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.
10. 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 Parmar, Mr Suleman, Mr Palenta, Mr Salazar and Ms Caramiello there is no purpose to be gained from a further review of that evidence in this action. My findings as to the veracity and cogency of that evidence stand for the purpose of these proceedings. However, in order that matters can be understood in their full context I consider it is necessary to set out Mr Parmar's evidence.
11. Mr Parmar set out his involvement in this road traffic accident and 5 other accidents. He said:

"This statement relates to my involvement in five road traffic incidents which occurred during my employment with the Defendant/Part 20 Claimant, Tesco Stores Limited. The incidents occurred on:

12 July 2019.

3 August 201.

5 October 2019.

6 December 2019 and

2 January 2020.

I will give details about each of these crashes in this statement but at the outset I want to say each and every one of those incidents was staged by others and which I took part in. The collisions were set up so that compensation claims could be brought against Tesco Stores Limited and they were in no way genuine…..

I cannot remember when I was originally approached and asked to take part in these incidents, but it must have been before July 2019.

I was approached when I was driving out of the Greenford depot in one of the delivery vans one day. I was just about to start my delivery route for the day and as I was driving out of the depot I had to stop at the junction to wait for traffic to clear on the main road. I remember that there were temporary traffic lights on the main road so traffic was heavy, and I had to wait quite a long time to get out of the junction.

Two men walked up to my van. From memory they were stood at the side of the road. I had never seen them before. They tapped on the van's window, which I then opened and they began speaking to me. I talked to them from the cab of my van.

I believe one man was Eastern European, and the other was Asian. They were of a similar age, in their late 20s and dressed casually. I only know them as 'Nik' and 'Dee'. 'Nik' was the Eastern European man and 'Dee' was the Asian man. I remember that 'Dee' had a beard. I do not know their full names.

They asked me if I wanted to make some money and explained that to do this, I would need to help them by crashing into other cars so they could bring claims. They told me that they would pay me £200 for each incident.

I told them that I thought it was risky and that I was worried about getting caught. They told me that there were quite a few drivers that were doing it and there was limited risk. They said that they knew Tesco's procedures and that they would sort out the rest.

I agreed to do it and gave them my telephone number so they could contact me. This conversation lasted around 5-10 minutes….

After this initial meeting, they would call me on my mobile and ask if I was working. If I was on shift, they would ask me to tell them, from my delivery sheet, where I would be at a certain time. It was usually towards the end of my shift, after my last delivery.

I would tell them where I would be, and they would meet me at that location. 'Nik' and 'Dee' turned up at the scene, always in a black Mercedes. I don't know the registration number of this car. They would be accompanied by another vehicle which would be driven by somebody else.

'Nik' and 'Dee' would come over to the van to tell me how to crash into the other car and would then watch the 'incident' from the side of the road.

After I hit the other car with the Tesco van I did not get out of the van. 'Nik' or 'Dee' would come to the window of the van and take one of the 'Collision report Forms' or 'Bump Cards' which the drivers are supposed to fill out in the event of an incident.

They would walk over to the car that I hit and talk to the driver of that car through the window and take their details and write them on the Bump Card.

I did not write any of the Bump Cards relating to any of the staged incidents. They were all written by 'Nik' and/or 'Dee' at the scene. 'Nik' and 'Dee' attended every staged incident that I was involved in.

I would then report the crash to the Sopp and Sopp incident report line as normal and then return to the depot to report it to my manager and fill in an Incident Investigation Form."

12. In relation to the index accident, he said:

This incident occurred on Blomfield Villas, Maida Vale, W2.It was a Friday evening shift and I was driving an Iveco delivery van registration BD65 XEJ. I checked out the van as normal. I met Nik and Dee and they showed me a parked Vauxhall Insignia registration BF66 BNA and told me to reverse into it. I reversed into the Vauxhall while it was parked. I understand that there is no footage of this crash but can confirm that this was not a genuine incident, it was another pre-arranged crash and I was promised money to reverse into the other car. 'Nik' and 'Dee' had filled in the Bump Card with the other driver's details and passed it to me as normal. I reported the crash to the Sopp and Sopp incident line and told that them I had to carry out a 3-point turn because there was a lorry ahead of me blocking my normal exit. When I reported the crash, I lied to make it seem like it was a genuine accident. I filled in the Incident Investigation Form when I returned to the depot.

I understand that a claim has been submitted against Tesco by a Mr Mohamed Bakyiar Abdulla. I am unable to say whether he was present at the scene. Again, Nik and Dee did not pay me for this incident. At this point I decided that I was not going to continue to cooperate with them and ignored all of the calls I received from them after that time. I was not involved in any other staged crashes after this one because they had stopped paying me."

13. The conspiracy must also be considered in relation to the Similar Fact Evidence.

Similar fact evidence

14. 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 to this judgment.
15. The relevance of the Similar Fact Evidence is the similar modus operandi. The accident circumstances in the instant case were said to be that Mr Abdulla's car was parked on a residential road when a Tesco van reversed into it. That was the same scenario in Cases 12 and 18. Further, 21 of the crashes involving Greenford depot drivers were crashes involving reversing Tesco vehicles.
16. The Similar Fact Evidence also records further specific links. Mr Abdulla's first association with others in this conspiracy is in respect of a claim he made against another insurer for an accident on 6^th July 2019. His vehicle was said to have been located at Hano Autos. Hano Autos is the alleged inspection location in Cases 1, 2, 4, 5,6,13,15,16,19 and 29. He also made use of the same MOT assessment garage as the claimants in Cases 3 and 11. Mr Abdulla has also collided with a Tesco driver, Mr Parmar, who has confessed the collision was intentionally staged. That same driver collided with Florin Danila (a recurring claimant against Tesco – Case 26 and 28) who used the same garages (Prime Auto Care) as two other claimants (Al Shamary Case 26 and Uwe Kirschner Case 32) which share the same address as Uwe Kirschner's own business Car Care Motors Limited. Further Mr Parmar has collided with five individuals who are all connected with the Motor Trade businesses which feature in the Linked actions. Finally, Mr Namdar ( Case 3) had a collision with Rina Ahmed who is the claimant in Case 16 and the Director of a company connected to Bower Lally who is the Claimant in Cases 14 and 15.

Damages

17. I am satisfied from the statement of Mrs Plumb Tesco is entitled to recover £2666.52 for which the parties are jointly and severally liable. However, to ensure consistency as Tesco have not pursued Mr Parmar I consider Mr Abdulla should only be responsible for 50 percent: £1333.26. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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."

20. 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.
21. Mr Abdulla pursued a claim to recover substantial sums from Tesco. Tesco relied on the signed statements of truth in the Claim Notification Form, Claim Form and Particulars of Claim. Those statements of truth all attested to the veracity of the accident. However, the reality is that this was yet another stage-managed crash.
22. The evidence of Ms Nusseibeh in Mouradi is that a vehicle owner pays monies to an unknown individual and then, as per the evidence of Mr Parmar, Mr Suleman, Mr Palenta and Mr Salazar, those individuals pay a Tesco employee to deliberately drive the Tesco delivery vehicle into the claimant's vehicle. This is exactly what occurred in the instant case.
23. In stage managing this crash Mr Abdulla in collusion with others, persuaded a trusted Tesco employee to engage in unlawful acts. Mr Parmar was induced to do so on the basis that he was to be paid for his illegal actions. Mr Parmar's consequent action was a gross breach of trust which struck at the heart of Tesco's business, when their very business depends on its interface with their customers. On the evidence of Mrs Hawkins Tesco also updated their vehicles with all round cameras partly as a result of this investigation, which is a further, albeit unspecified, loss and an aggravating factor. Mr Abdulla submitted documents with false statements, and asserted the entirety of the damage in this accident was caused by Mr Parmar. Tesco relied on those representations which were manifestly untrue. That is a direct attack on the integrity of the justice system.
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 Abdulla has not furnished this court with any information as to his income. Tesco sought an award of exemplary damages of £17,000. Whilst I take into account those representations, I do not consider that is sufficient to deter Mr Abdulla 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 Abdulla should pay £18,000.
26. There will be judgment for Tesco accordingly and I shall ask Counsel to calculate the appropriate interest in respect of the compensatory element.
27. I cannot leave this judgment without reference to Mr Parmar. In the light of his clear frank admissions whether Mr Parmar is referred to the Attorney General will be matter for further representations at the final directions hearing for all the Tesco litigation on the 15^{th of}February 2024.
28. 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.
