WHY??

gavel2-Optimized

Barbara Fari, a Jamaican grandmother who fraudulently tried to claim 740,000 pounds after tripping on a street in London is now facing charges for contempt of court. Mrs. Fari, 59, sued Haringey Council in North London after the incident in May 2008. She claimed the injury to her right knee was so severe she could only move around her home by sliding on her buttocks. But video evidence contradicted her case and her claim was struck out at a county court last year after a judge found the mother of 13 had grossly exaggerated her injury. Now, a High Court judge has agreed that Homes for Haringey, which runs Haringey Council Housing Stock and maintains the pavement outside her home, can prosecute Mrs. Fari for contempt of court. Her husband, Piper Fari, who gave evidence to back her false claim, will also be prosecuted. They both face a jail sentence if convicted. A statement released by Homes for Haringey’s legal team revealed one of their lawyers had won permission from a judge to pursue contempt proceedings against the couple. It said Mrs. Fari’s case was the first of its kind since a landmark ruling in June last year made it possible to take action over alleged fraudulent exaggeration in personal injury cases. The application will proceed to a final hearing later in the year.
