Keep the original representation and its qualifications
Identify whether the document was an estimate, forecast, promise or report of an existing fact, using the actual wording rather than a later label. Keep attachments, assumptions and accompanying messages. Counsel needs to see what was communicated to the recipient, not a reconstruction based only on what eventually happened.
Separate later changes from earlier knowledge
Place revisions, new information and changed circumstances on a dated timeline. Explain your role in preparing, approving or sending each version and what you knew then. If a figure came from someone else, identify that source; do not assume that eventual loss proves what a person knew earlier.
Connect the representation to the affected transaction
Identify the decision, payment or property said to be affected and keep the relevant records. Distinguish the criminal allegation from a request for civil recovery or an unresolved commercial account. Counsel can assess the alleged representation and deprivation issues without promising recovery or deciding the case from a forecast alone.
Understand the legal questions before choosing a response
A financial loss or failed transaction alone is not the complete analysis of a fraud allegation. Counsel needs to examine what was represented, the person’s role and knowledge, and the money or property affected. Keep earlier records and later developments distinct. This page concerns advice for an investigated or accused person; a civil recovery request is a separate scope question for the firm.
Preparing for the first conversation
- Keep the original representation and its qualifications
- Separate later changes from earlier knowledge
- Connect the representation to the affected transaction
Keep the initial website enquiry brief. Do not upload or send sensitive documents through the form; arrange any document review directly with the firm.
You do not need every item before getting in touch. Mention any approaching court or response date.
Common questions
Should I keep a forecast that was replaced by a later version?
Yes. Preserve both versions and their dates, assumptions and delivery records. The earlier wording and information available at that time may differ from the later account.
Does a result below the forecast prove fraud?
No. The actual representations, role, knowledge and effect on money or property need assessment. Explain the difference and preserve the contemporaneous record rather than assuming the outcome answers the allegation.
Does an unpaid amount by itself prove fraud?
No. The representations, knowledge, role and effect on money or property need assessment under the applicable requirements. Keep records from the relevant time rather than relying only on the eventual outcome.
Does a defence enquiry start a claim to recover money?
No. A civil recovery request is a separate task whose scope and availability must be clarified. This enquiry does not start a claim, guarantee recovery or confirm representation.
