As a claimant lawyer I welcome this. You now have both sides of the fence saying "hey.... this is a bad idea!!" That leaves the only pro reform voice as being the insurance industry. They will ultimately become marginalised if claimant and defendant's remain united to a degree. the amount of fraud in the system has been fraudulently exaggerated by the insurers themselves. A small increase to say £1500 would achieve the aim of taking low value claims out of the system without decimating claimant and defendant firms and removing people from the heart of the legal system
