There has been an exponential increase in the number of Functional Neurological Disorder cases litigated in recent times. These cases are often high value claims, arising out of relatively trivial insults. Despite being a relatively common occurrence, it is often overlooked, misunderstood and inappropriately handled.
In order to recognise such cases and to prepare and present them, it is necessary to have a full understanding as to the presentation, causes and practical considerations. It is also important to recognise the potential hurdles, pitfalls and specific needs, peculiar to the case. This guide seeks to provide a practical overview for practitioners: what FND is, how it may be identified within the evidential landscape of a claim, issues of causation and losses and how such cases can be prosecuted and defended, to full effect.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
