After being treated by the NHS following an attack for injury to two fingers and a cut lip, he had the cheek to claim that the staff were negligent.
He lied and said that due to their negligence, amongst other things, he had suffered pain, lost his confidence and could not work as a result etc and wanted money for future loss of earnings and carers costs.
The NHS offered him £30,000, but this wasn't good enough for him as he wanted £836,000 out of them. The NHS became suspicious and, in the first case of this kind, put him under surveillance and investigation:

He then said that he wanted the original offer of £30,000! The trust said that this would now be used to cover most of their legal costs and that he still owed them £5,000
