More fraud litigation is likely to emerge from the private credit market, market corrections due to overvaluation driven by artificial intelligence and the ‘failure to prevent fraud’ offence, law firm Stewarts has predicted in a report, ‘Trends in fraud litigation 2026’, compiled with analytics platform Solomonic
Fraud remains ‘persistently high’, Stewarts reported, with 15% of all claims and 11% of judgments in the civil courts involving fraud last year. Banking and financial services disputes dominate, accounting for about one third of these claims.
Stewarts highlights the increasingly sophisticated use of technology and a continued trend for litigation against professional services advisers.
