Subject: illegality and tort

More flesh put on Patel v Mirza in turning down a thoroughly undeserving claimant. You ask me to set fire to your car to help you bilk your insurance company: I do it, whereupon you report me to the police for arson. Even though you knew I wasn't guilty of arson, my action against you for malicious prosecution fails on the basis that I thought I was participating in a conspiracy to defraud. Quite right too. See Gujra v Roath & Anor [2018] EWHC 854 (QB).
