George Davies
George Davies has become an experienced advocate in civil fraud work (encompassing both insurance fraud and commercial fraud).
He undertakes an increasing amount of civil fraud work in the High Court, including contempt proceedings. His common law work includes acting for insurers in the defence of fraudulent claims and acting for both claimants and defendants in personal injury work as well as representing interested parties at inquests. He first gained experience of civil fraud proceedings whilst working as a litigation solicitor in the London office of Baker & McKenzie LLP. Whilst working as a solicitor, he was seconded to the FSA’s Enforcement Division leading to his experience of regulatory and financial mis-selling work.
He also regularly acts for consumer claimants in the pursuit of financial mis-selling claims brought against financial institutions.
He has recently augmented his wide experience of fraud litigation by acting as the trial advocate for a Libyan state entity which is seeking damages for the alleged misappropriation of circa €15 million of its funds. After a 6-day High Court trial in December 2021, judgment in EACS v Sekerci & Others QB-2018-000676 is awaited.
His work in this area also includes the securing of freezing injunctions.
He is regularly able to bring his knowledge of civil fraud to the arenas of motor insurance and personal injury claims.
He acts for both claimants and defendants in complex cases involving physical and mental injuries. He also has experience of acting for claimants in brain injury cases. His longest ongoing case involves acting for a claimant who sustained serious psychiatric injury as a young child and who has now reached adulthood. The trial is set down for 2023. In 2019, he acted for a claimant in a settlement against a major high street bank in a claim for psychiatric damage caused by the bank’s irresponsible lending policies.
He has in depth knowledge of credit hire litigation – whether in the context of assisting in genuine claims or defending against those which are exaggerated or dishonest.
He has gained wide experience of contentious commercial work through his employed role with the boutique City litigation firm, Ballinger Law Limited.
He has recently advised in coverage disputes and policy interpretation, including a wide-ranging review of disease clauses in the light of the COVID pandemic.
