Jim's cases often involve allegations of fraud and require him to either seek or oppose the grant of urgent injunctions. As an example, He has successfully defended former company directors in an action brought by liquidators alleging fraud and breach of statutory and fiduciary duties, which included setting aside a High Court order freezing their assets.  These cases also often involve actions taken in or involving a number of different countries and therefore often result in complex jurisdictional challenges.

Reflecting his interest in and extensive experience of fraud cases, He has spoken on the subject, including to over 120 delegates of STEP in Guernsey.

Jim is also qualified to act as a supervising solicitor where searches take place under court order.
