Mr. Ciarán Breen:
Generally, we do not come across fraud or anything like that but we have had some section 26 applications where people grossly exaggerated their injuries. In one example, a person indicated that they were very badly injured but the evidence we obtained showed that they were not. It is open to a judge to dismiss a case if that happens.
