whoops - massive typo by me at 5.06pm above! I intended to say costs have massively DECREASED post Jackson not increased

Please can someone do a freedom of information request regarding the level of costs paid in clinical negligence claims arising from incidents after 1 April 2013 (so entirely under the post Jackson proportionality, costs budgeting and irrecoverable success fees and reduced scope of ATE insurance premiums) compared to claims of similar value damages, conduct period and liability stance to take a look at whether or not the costs per claim has increased post Jackson (clue it has dramatically DECREASED despite deliberate misinformation disseminated by NHSLA).

This needs to be considered as well as the number of claims when considering if costs overall are increasing or not.

There is little point looking at what costs were paid this this year as it will be dominated by pre Jackson era cases as the cases resulting in the highest costs take several years to settle and then the costs have to be agreed.
