Your firm may not have come across fraud to any degree but in the same way there are specialist defendant firms who routinely deal with this area of work, so there are claimant firms who also routinely handle these sorts of cases- in some instances because they actively canvas for it, and in others, due to their sources of work

What usually happens if the evidence for fraud stacks up, is the ATE provider will withdraw funding (but they don't cover fraud anyway), the claimant solicitor will suggest a drop hands or come off the court record and the defendant insurer faces the choice of allowing the claimant to walk away or to run a case to trial which will cost a fortune with little prospect of a recovery (because generally the suspected fraudster is a man of straw)
In such cases- where a claimant agrees to drop their case- and that is a quite common outcome-little statistical guidance exists as there is no final hearing and nothing has been 'proved'
