There were witnesses both ways including experts.

Court found Defendant's car was stopped at time of accident and that Claimant drove into it. It had not, as she claimed, been reversed into her path.

Furthermore Claimant's witnesses were absent so could not be cross examined - only questionnaires ans statements were available. Given there addresses etc there is a reasonable inference that they were 'witnesses for hire' and allied to the company hiring the car.

The whole thing should be referred to the Police.

The woman was driving an Audi & just likely forgot other lesser cars wont get out of the way for the special AUDI badge when there isnt a occupant in the lesser car.

Reading the report from the official gazette, if some of the "witnesses" are linked to the claims management company and did not appear to testify when they had given written statements, surely that is attempted perverting the course of justice.
