Maybe we should appeal to the government's pockets rather than their morals (they clearly couldn't care less about access to justice etc.).

Have the government actually thought about the financial consequences of what is being proposed? If 90% of all claimant firms go under there will also be a huge reduction in size of the big Defendants - indeed we're already seeking that with some of hte big names - consequently the governments tax take will be significantly reduce. I know I for one would cease paying tax as I'd be on the dole. Also the IPT on ATE premiums should not be ignored - the government has a nice earner there.

On top of the above the PI sector effectively subsidies the court system as the bulk of matters settle before trial but we still have to pay astronomical issue fees. Good luck to the rest of you civil litigators funding the system once you've got rid of us.

I just hope the kickbacks from the ABI are worth it.
