Without doubt the correct conclusion, this type of claim is generally the product of the worst sort of battery claims farming.

And for those who take the tired old nonsense of 'if you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide' dealing with these cases is an enormous pain in the posterior, the risk of a capricious assessment cannot be ruled out and even when you 'win' the claimant will (in my experience) have no adverse costs insurance and you will not recover your costs.

Apropos the old adage, if someone tried to rob me for the £100 in my wallet I would fight them, but if they issued proceedings I would settle.
