Jones & Ryan Campbell v Fannon

Jones & Ryan Campbell v Fannon was a bogus passenger case which saw us defend two personal injury claims, the basis being that the Claimants' van was empty at the time of the contact.

Background

It was the Claimants' case that their van was parked in a car park when the Insured Driver sought to pull into an adjacent space, and in the process of parking, contact occurred.

Whilst she admitted making contact with the Claimant's vehicle, the Insured Driver remained adamant that it was empty at the time and that the Claimants approached across the car park following the incident. Her account was supported by her brother who was a passenger.

The claims were initially defended almost purely on the evidence of the Insured driver and her passenger that the Claimant's van was empty at the time of the contact.
