There are 2 issues here.
1. Putting the small claims limit up to £5,000 will put a lot of people out of jobs. Not just staff of law firms, but court staff, and insurer claim handlers. Not just that though, the staff of the companies that also support the law firm, whether it be for stationary or IT.
2. By denying an individual the right to compensation for being injured in a road traffic accident, the government is essentially trying to change the tort of negligence. Surely, that cannot be right. The government cannot just change a whole area of law for the benefit of the insurance industry.
We PI lawyers need to do something about this now. We stood by a few years ago whilst the government slashed the costs we could recover and did absolutely nothing. Well, now the time has come when we need to stand up for ourselves and stop this ridiculousness!
