HHJ BaucherMr Aaron Pulford (instructed by Keoghs LLP) for the Defendant/ Part 20 ClaimantHearing dates: 6th February 2024Date 9 February 2024
[1]HHJ BAUCHER: The Claimant, Mr Namdar, pursued a claim against Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco) in relation to a collision between a BMW registration LJ66 WPD and an Iveco Daily Van registration BW15 OKA driven by Mr Parmar (Part 20 Defendant), on 12 th July 2019. For ease of reference, I shall refer to the parties by name throughout this judgment. Tesco paid Mr Namdar, on a without prejudice basis, an interim payment of £22,330, in relation to damage to his vehicle. Mr Namdar served a Claim Form, Particulars of Claim, Schedule of Special Damages and medical report from Dr Lakhani in which he sought to recover general damages for personal injury limited to £5,000.[2]On 11 th November 2020 Tesco served a Defence, Counterclaim and Part 20 Additional Claim challenging the veracity of the claim and alleging deceit and conspiracy against Mr Namdar and Mr Parmar. On 15 th July 2021 Mr Namdar filed a Notice of Discontinuance. On 27 th September 2021 judgment was entered in favour of Tesco in relation to the Counterclaim. 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 Namdar.[3]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: CASE NUMBER LITIGATED ACTIONS 1 Mazlum Bahceci v Tesco Stores Limited v Samatar Jama 2 Mohamed Namdar v Tesco Stores Limited v Manish Parmar 3 Hanaa Alghafagi v Tesco Stores Limited v Donovan Rose(1) Zhraa Alghafagi(2) Zina Alghafagi(3) 4 Shireen Morgan v Sunil Shah (1) Tesco Stores Ltd (2) 5 Tesco Stores Limited v Shimaa Khattawi (1) Darran Taylor (2) 6 Adel Motlaghi Sayahi (1) Amineh Mohavi (2) v Tesco Stores Limited v Reyhan Safi 7 Shahin Majid Mouradi v Tesco Stores Limited v Manish Parmar (1) Tawfeeq Abdulwahid Tawfeeq (2) Jumana Nusseibeh (3) 8 Grzegorz Collins v Tesco Stores Limited v Darran Taylor 9 Alexander Reed v Tesco Stores Limited v Mubarik Quaje 10 Safaa Jasim v Tesco Stores Limited v Darran Taylor 11 Hashim Al- Hashimi (1) Zainab Mohamed (2) v Tesco Stores Limited v Darran Taylor 12 Mohamed Baktiyar Abdulla v Tesco Stores Limited v Manish Parmar 13 Eda Yaman v Manish Parmar (1) Tesco Stores Limited (2) v Mustafa Zada PRE-LITIGATED ACTIONS 14 Bower Lally v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Ramy El-Fayoumi) 15 Bower Lally v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Owen Reason) 16 Rinas Ahmed v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Rakesh Lakhman) 17 Bernardo Picari (1) Guxim Symltaj v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Rakesh Lakhman) 18 Waleed Hayder Mohamed v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Samatar Jama) 19 Saman Hussain v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Donovan Rose) 20 Abdul Gader Allenizi (1) Richard Feghaly (2) v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Donovan Rose) 21 Mohamed Almaki (1) Salem Almaki (2) v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Donovan Rose) 22 Oktan Yagli v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Reyhan Safi) 23 Ahmed Khalil v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Samatar Jama) 24 Hayder Garousi v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Reyhan Safi) 25 Florin Danila v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Darran Taylor) 26 Ali Al- Shamary v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Reyhan Safi) 27 Ibrahim Nour v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Ajay Bangar) 28 Florin Danila V Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco driver- Manish Parmar) 29 Monika Rogaliwicz (1) Sebastian Rogaliwicz (2) v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Rachidy Alkilmaki) 30 Tariq Faris (1) Rawan Abbas (2) v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Rachidy Alkilmaki) 31 Habib Said (1) Mwenye Madasheeky (2) v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Samatar Jama) 32 Uwe Kirschner v Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco Driver – Mubarik Quaje)[4]Mr Pulford appeared for Tesco. There was no appearance by Mr Namdar. I am grateful for the diligent manner in which Mr Pulford prepared his case and presented the evidence to the court. Dramatis Personae[5]The following individuals featured in the claim: Name Title State of Proceedings Role Position Mohammed Namdar Claimant Assessment of Damages Defendant Driver Manish Parmar P20 Defendant Stayed Witness Tesco Driver Mohamed Suleman / / Witness Tesco Driver Krystof 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 Mark Maberly / / Witness Tesco Corporate Investigations Manager Peter Etherington / / Expert Witness Forensic Expert Engineer Karen Caramiello / / Expert Witness Forensic Scientist (Handwriting Expert)[6]Tesco relied upon written evidence from Mr Suleman, Mr Parmar, Mr Palenta, Mr Salazar, Mr Douglas, Ms Hawkins, Mrs Plumb, Mr Maberly, Mr Etherington and Ms Caramiello pursuant to the directions given in this matter and the associated actions.[7]Tesco's case is that this accident was staged by Mr Namdar 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. Having obtained judgment in the Counterclaim the torts of deceit and unlawful means conspiracy are established. The task is to assess the damages in relation to those torts.[8]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, 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.[9]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."
[10]In relation to the index accident, he said:
"This crash happened at the junction of Wilsmere Drive and Sandown Way, Northolt, UB5 at around 9pm on 12 July 2019. It was a Friday evening shift and I was driving an Iveco delivery van registration BW15 OKA. I checked out the van as normal. 'Nik' and 'Dee' met me at the junction of Wilsmere Drive and Sandown Way as agreed when they had called me earlier in the day. I had told them that it was on my delivery route. I remember that they were at the location with a Black BMW which was being driven by somebody else. I did not get a good look at this person and cannot describe them. I was told that this was the car I had to crash into. 'Nik' and 'Dee' told me that the BMW would drive along the minor road and I would just have to drive out of the junction into the side of it. When I was driving into the BMW, I could see that there was already damage to the side of the car. I knew that there was a dashcam fitted to the van but was not concerned about it. I have seen the footage from the Tesco van (annexed at MP1) and confirm that this was not a genuine accident, it was a crash that was pre-arranged and I was paid money to drive into the other car. Once 'Nik' and 'Dee' had filled in the Bump Card with the other driver's details, it was passed back to me. I was given £200 in cash at the scene as payment. I reported the incident to the Sopp and Sopp incident line and filled in the Incident Investigation Form when I returned to the depot. I also signed the van back in but confirmed that there were no new defects. I lied during that call and when I reported the crash to make it seem like it was a genuine accident. I understand that a claim has been submitted against Tesco by a Mr Mohamed Namdar. I don't know whether he was the driver of the black BMW involved in the incident."
[11]Tesco also relied upon expert evidence from Mr Etherington, Forensic Collision expert, whose evidence I unequivocally accepted in the cases of Yaman , Morgan , Bahceci and Alghafagi . Mr Etherington provided a comprehensive report in this matter after examination of photographs and the dash camera footage. He concluded:
"I have analysed the Dash-cam footage of the incident and I am of the opinion that this illustrates that the full extent of the damage to the nearside of the BMW was not caused as a result of contact with the Iveco and in particular the two areas of horizontal structural damage to the rear quarter panel were present before this incident paragraph 1.4.3. I have considered the damage to the nearside roof rail above the A post. The nature of the damage to the roof rail is more consistent with it being struck with a straight edged blunt instrument denting the roof panel leaving the straight-line dent in this area. paragraph 3.1.2 - 3.1.3. I am of the opinion that this damage is not induced damage and is more likely to have been deliberately inflicted in an impact from above and is not connected to any of the other near side impact damage. paragraph 3.1.4 . I have then considered the two horizontal impact profiles on the rear quarter panel of the BMW. paragraph 3.1.5 . The CCTV footage leads me to conclude that this damage was present before the impact. paragraph 3.1.6 . Additionally, there is nothing anywhere on the forward profile of the Iveco that could inflict these two horizontal intrusions into the rear edge of the nearside rear door and the forward edge of the quarter panel, tearing the metal quarter panel before extending rearwards in two separate horizontal contact marks. paragraph 3.1.7. The CCTV footage does illustrate that the contact has occurred between the two vehicles and the position of the vehicles at the point of impact suggests the front central area of the Iveco would collide with the nearside central area of the BMW. paragraph 3.1.8. The behaviour of the two vehicles immediately before the impact suggests some collaboration between the drivers, as the BMW is travelling extremely slowly at this point and the Iveco makes no attempt to turn right or left and drives straight into the side of the slowly moving BMW. paragraph 3.1.9. After considering the photographs, CCTV and the construction of the BMW and the Iveco I am of the opinion that the quarter panel damage, the damage to the rear edge of the nearside rear door and the rear bumper damage has not occurred as a result of this incident and pre-existed any contact between the two vehicles. paragraph 3.1.10 . I am of the opinion that the impact into the near side front door and the forward section of the nearside rear door is consistent with the collision between the two vehicles in the manner illustrated in the dashcam footage. paragraph 3.1.11 ."
[12]I have also had the opportunity of reviewing the dash camera footage and my impression accords with Mr Etherington's observations. I could clearly see on the footage that the BMW had already sustained damage prior to the impact with Tesco's vehicle. Further the manner of the crash confirms it was a stage-managed accident.[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]Three months prior to the index accident on 20 th April 2019 Mr Namdar had a crash with Rinas Ahmed the Claimant in Case 16. That vehicle has also been insured by Bower Lally (Claimant in Cases 14, 15 and one case not before the court known as Case 33). Rinas Ahmed's company R & A Repairs Limited shares an address, Welley Road, with BL Motors Limited run by Bower Lally. That accident set the scene for subsequent events.[16]This was not a one-off accident deploying little preparation or planning. The manner of the crash shares features with other Tesco Greenford depot crashes. This was a Tesco Greenford depot driver, proceeding forwards from a minor road to a major road and colliding with a third-party vehicle side on. That same scenario also occurs in Cases 1, 7, 9 and 17. There are eleven Tesco cases where the van driver is moving forwards and twenty-one cases where the impact with the third-party vehicle is side on. Mr Namdar's vehicle also had areas of incompatible damage. Inconsistent damage is recorded in Cases 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13 and 16. Further the evidence of Mr Etherington proves that the damage to the roof rail could not possibly have been sustained in this accident. Damage to the roof rail was also claimed in Cases 1, 6, 9 and 13. Mr Namdar's 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. The vehicle was actually stored at Belvue Road thereby linking the claim to Noel Khuashaba and Biar Hiawazi. That address is also where Bower Lally operates his garage and Wish Lounge Ltd which feature in Cases 1 and 9. Rather than being an isolated incident the index accident was one of many such accidents organised by those engaged in this conspiracy.[17]The relevance of the Similar Fact Evidence is further demonstrated by Mr Namdar's collision with Mr Parmar. Mr Parmar has admitted the collision was intentionally staged as it was in four other matters; Cases 7, 12, 13 and 28. Mr Parmar collided with Florin Danila (Claimant in Cases 25 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. Finally, Mr Parmar has collided with five individuals who are all connected with the Motor Trade businesses which feature in the Linked actions. Damages[18]Tesco is entitled to recover its interim outlay of £22,330 (inclusive of the engineer's fee). I am satisfied from the statement of Mrs Plumb Tesco is also entitled to recover a further compensatory element of £2,899.63. However, to ensure consistency as Tesco have not pursued Mr Parmar, I consider Mr Namdar should only be responsible for 50 percent: £1,449.82. I do not consider it is 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.[19]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 asked me to make an award of £17,000.[20]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."
[21]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.[22]I am satisfied the accident was a sham. Mr Parmar was paid "cash to crash" by an intermediary as occurred in Mouradi . In Mouradi Ms Nusseibeh witnessed the claimant paying for that service. I am satisfied Mr Namdar similarly paid for the accident to be staged. He did so to secure compensation and the use of a prestige hire car incurring credit charges of £12,968.70. Mr Namdar and others unknown induced Mr Parmar, one of Tesco's trusted employees, to breach that trust. Mr Parmar therefore deliberately drove his Tesco vehicle into Mr Namdar's car as part of an orchestrated conspiracy. The true nature of the accident was visually depicted and captured by the dashcam footage. The sole purpose of the crash was to defraud Tesco and secure compensation. The vehicle had also been damaged prior to the stage-managed crash. Mr Namdar then proceeded to make a series of fraudulent misrepresentations, in his Claim Notification Form, Claim Form and Particulars of Claim. All those documents were supported by statements of truth alleging not only that the accident was the fault of Mr Parmar but that the entirety of the damage to the vehicle had been sustained in the crash. Mr Namdar also provided medical evidence to bolster his claim. Tesco acted upon those representations and therefore in good faith made a substantial interim payment. That payment was made in respect of damage which was not sustained in this accident as is clear from the report of Mr Etherington. In lying in those court documents Mr Namdar damaged the integrity of the justice system. Mr Parmar'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.[23]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.[24]Mr Namdar has not provided any evidence as to his income or assets. I have taken into account Mr Pulford's representations, but I do not consider £17,000 is sufficient to deter Mr Namdar and others from engaging in "cash for crash" fraud. I am satisfied that given the extent of the conspiracy as cleared illustrated in the pictorial depiction in Appendix 2 and set out in Appendix 1 that the appropriate award of exemplary damages should be £18,000.[25]There will be judgment for Tesco accordingly. I shall leave Counsel to calculate the final amounts including interest.[26]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. APPENDIX 1 SIMILAR FACT EVIDENCE[27]Graham Douglas has prepared a witness statement in which he details the commonalities, and connections between other claims within the Linked Action and which have been brought as a result of collisions with other drivers from the Tesco Greenford Depot. The similar facts relevant to this claim are set out in relation to the Tesco driver, the Claimants and the individuals to whom they are connected. MANISH PARMAR[28]Manish Parmar has confirmed he was paid £200, to drive into collision with the Claimant's Vehicle directed by two individuals.[29]Manish Parmar has been the Tesco driver in five collisions, all of which he has confessed were staged collisions in exchange for payment: i. Namdar the present matter (Case 2) in which the Claimant's Vehicle was allegedly stored at Hano Autos, 2 Creek Road, London, SE8 3EL. ii. Mouradi (Case 7) in which the Claimant's Vehicle was allegedly stored at Hano Autos, 2 Creek Road, London, SE8 3EL. iii. Abdulla (Case 12) in which the Claimant's Vehicle was allegedly stored at ROJ Motors, 20b Abbey Industrial Estate, Mount Pleasant, Wembley, HA0 1RE. iv.
