A woman claiming tens of thousands of pounds for an injury caused by a faulty shoe is tripped up by her own evidence and the investigators who stay hot on her heels.

A wedding photographer’s dodgy claim for ruined camera kit is exposed as a lie, and a traveller misses his flight due to a puncture on the way to the airport, but his claim falls flat when he submits a forged receipt for his new tyres from a garage.
