Overview

• Mrs Justice Tipples sentenced Kae Burnell-Chambers to six months' immediate custody for contempt at the High Court in London on 14 October.
• She was ordered to pay £135,000 towards Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust's legal costs.
• The court accepted she had cauda equina syndrome but heard she admitted she had deliberately changed her presentation to experts and that her mobility can be near normal on good days.
• Her multimillion-pound clinical negligence case, launched in 2019 and later dropped, was contradicted by social media and surveillance showing her walking unaided and modelling at events including Kustom Kulture Blast Off in 2019.
• The Trust said any genuine claim was likely worth less than £200,000, and the case was cited as part of NHS efforts to crack down on dishonestly exaggerated claims.
