NGM Sustainable Developments Ltd v Wallis
NGM Sustainable Developments Ltd v Wallis & Ors [2015] EWHC 2089 (Ch)
Key Principle
Allegations of fraud (including fraudulent misrepresentation) must be distinctly and particularly pleaded and strictly proved on cogent evidence; a claimant who fails to plead and establish the fraud with the requisite particularity cannot succeed, and a court will not find fraud on the basis of inadequately pleaded or inferential material.
