The investigation and litigation of claims alleging dishonesty pose unique challenges for civil litigators. Leading practitioners in this area along with a forensic accountant discuss and debate the availability of causes of action involving proof of dishonesty, strategic considerations concerning when and whether to allege them, and the effective detection and investigation of dishonest conduct. The program also explores the utility of pre trial remedies including Norwich and Anton Piller Orders for preserving rights and gathering evidence, and best practices for defending allegations of dishonesty.
