Rawding v Seaga UK Ltd [2015] EWCA Civ 113 (20 February 2015)
More...
Taken at face value, the new evidence shows it to be implausible, to put it no higher, that the four emails were sent or received, as the case might be, by Mr Rawding. Apart from the oral, highly contested, evidence of Mr Chesney and his personal assistant as to the circumstances and manner in which the emails purportedly emanating from him were sent, Seaga relies only upon paper copies of the four emails, having disclosed no hardware or backup material from which they can be reproduced electronically. It is common ground that it would be "childishly easy" to forge those paper copies with a word processor and leave no trace that they were not authentic.
