In one amusing moment of the case, the judge mentioned that he himself had
been a victim of card fraud "in Essex.  I've never been to Essex!".  There
was some discussion about volumes of industry-wide fraud, but no numbers
presented on specific types of fraud (eg magstripe, cardholder-not-present,
phantom ATMs, etc etc) or what proportion was refunded.  I don't know
whether the bank was asked - there was a several hundred page evidence
bundle that I didn't see.
