DJ Chloe Caillet’s £100,000 Injury Claim Challenged Over Alleged ‘Fundamental Dishonesty’

The judge is weighing social‑media evidence against her explanation that she misunderstood questions about what counted as a performance.

Overview

  • Building owner O'Hare Holdings has admitted the 2018 accident outside the Kipferl Cafe but disputes the scale of claimed losses.
  • Defence lawyers say posts and press show Caillet travelled widely from July 2018 to January 2019, including Burning Man, New York events, a Burberry function and an Andy Warhol opening.
  • The defence argues deleted Instagram posts document paid appearances, asserting she worked during the six months she said she could not.
  • Caillet told Mayors and City County Court she misread forms, saying “perform” referred to front-facing DJ sets, with many appearances promotional, passive or unpaid; her Burning Man trip was described as unpaid.
  • She seeks £99,851, including about £62,000 for six months’ lost income, while the defence asks Recorder King to dismiss the claim and award costs as the trial continues.
