Yes Gavyn Atkinson, raising the Small Claims Limit to £5000 for personal injury claims will open the flood gates for LIP's, creating a tidal wave of LIP's supported by CMC Mackenzie Friend's.

As the LCJ reported last week that 77% of Judges were stressed out, each court will need a psychologists chair to cope with the increased stress.

Also, solicitors help fund the Court system now by funding court fees for clients. Clients will not be able to afford the fees, and many injured victims will be deterred from recovering their losses because of the cost and complexity of the court process. Winners - the insurance industry, losers innocent accident injured victims.

But insurance premiums are at the highest for 5 years and the insurers have just increased premiums by 10% to take account of the 3.5% hike in IPT. Winners the government and the insurance industry. Losers the general public.

The Chancellor has no proposals to monitor the insurance industry to ensure savings on claims are handed down to policy holders. He made this clear in a written answer to a parliamentary question raised by Andy Slaughter MP last week.

Corroboration for the above is on the AJAG web site
