Commercial Fraud

Commercial fraud cases brought under the Fraud Act 2006 or Section 458 of the Companies Act 1985 usually rely on vast quantities of documentary evidence.  Additionally many cases now also include evidence extracted from computers and digital media.  This type of evidence may be served upon the defence in many forms and often it is not always immediately obvious how this evidence can be reviewed.  Another common issue is the existence of computers and media within unused material where the item concerned has not been examined by the prosecution.

CY4OR has experience in interpreting and verifying evidence alleged by the Police to be relevant in these cases and will be able to reduce it into a form you can review.

Cases of this type often include computer based evidence relating to internet history allegedly created during the planning and execution stages such as Google searches, Google Maps searches, visits to victims websites and so on. Evidence relating to communication via e-mail, instant messaging or Facebook has become more common. Additionally analysis of data extracted from satellite navigation devices and mobile telephones often features.

Cell site analysis evidence is also on the increase in cases of the type and in many cases is not always as compelling as it first appears. Our experts have the knowledge and experience to impartially interpret this evidence.

Mobile telephony evidence often now extends into the smart device arena where iPhones, iPads and other smart phones have become ubiquitous. Our experts will examine and verify evidence of this nature.

Some cases may rely on evidence obtained covertly often in the form of video, audio or transcripts of audio recordings. We have experience of checking and interpreting evidence of this type and can provide transcription services where required.  Our transcription services may also prove useful where other transcriptions such as records of taped recorded interviews are disputed.
