Would make a worthy TV drama reading through this case. In fact one of the industry's premier fraud solutions,360Retrieve, grew out of software deployed by UK police forces to crack open complex crime investigations.

In October 2019, law firm Keoghs and insurer Aviva successfully defended legal action that disputed liability in a road traffic accident.
