Anthony Davitt was defending a High Court personal-injury claim involving allegations that a road crash was fraudulent; the proceedings were reported on 30 May 2017. The case was continuing before Mr Justice Henry Abbott.

Davitt denied Aviva’s allegations that he made up the incident or colluded with others. Aviva said expert evidence would show the collision could not have happened as claimed, while Davitt said he rejected any conspiracy allegation and had “nothing to gain”.

He agreed he had made a good recovery from his injuries and said he received €24,000 from the insurance company, but did not know what happened to his car afterwards. The reported case continues.
