It's very easy to give isolated examples of individual situations where the increase in SCT limit will be result in some unfairness. However, in reality, those cases are probably less than 1% of the total. The change is targeting the 99% of straightforward whiplash claims. As with all law changes, it's about weighting up pros and cons. I think the vast majority of the public view minor whiplash claims negatively. Just read any non-legal blog or forum.
