Doesnt surprise me in the slightest. I had the same thing happen, it really is annoying to think that instead of speeding up your claim the Insurers pay some PI £££'s to follow you about and research what your upto.
I know of others who have had the same sort of treatment. In court Judges do not like this kind of invasion of privacy and treat it for what it is.
A snapshot taken at a point in time, not an indication of how injuries sustained effect your day to day life.
Best of luck sounds like they are scrape'ing the bottom of the barrel.
