Having people attend A&E / HP walk in centers for whiplash is going to what exactly to the pressures on the NHS?

The ban on paying for work was avoided before it was in force, Medco makes no effective difference and the number of claims is, as far as I understand it is not increasing faster than the number of vehicle miles driven PA, in fact it is in decline.

The fixed costs regime has stopped the abuses (and by goodness there were abuses) of claiming £20k costs for a simple RTC that settled well before trial.

In fact on almsot every measure there is already an inequality of arms between the insurers and the claimants.

Perhaps this is where The Law Society should step in and warn the government of the jobs that would go in insurance, the claimant and defendant branch of the profession and all the related jobs in the Courts and so on.

If you raise the SCT level to £5k you will, apropos Bolt, remove all the checks and balances and where then will you shelter from the fraudulent claimant?
