I agree entirely with Paul Rumley. I do not find that the aggressive approach to litigation works and I do not agree that the parties hate each other. That is certainly not my experience and I frequently come across NHSLA panel solicitors who fully appreciate the damage done to the claimant and are willing to adopt a conciliatory and pragmatic approach to resolving cases.
The current problem appears to be an NHSLA that is withdrawing from negotiation entirely and instead is choosing to fight every case. That is not I believe the approach advocated by their legal teams but comes from their new CEO. The courts will hopefully view the NHSLA refusal to enter into ADR as reprehensible and condemn them heavily in costs.
The strong language of "anonymous" however is not justified by the facts as I see them and viewed ffrom nearly 30 years of 100% Clin Neg work for claimants
