Can some one explain to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that interfering with core general legal principles is not actually in his job-description. This is the consequence of having non-lawyer mock Lord Chancellors. Let me get this clear, where does a neck-sprain, the correct term for the so-called "whiplash" injury, become an actionable injury? Fracture? Acceleration of spondylitis changes, loss of earnings and future losses. I've read somewhere a value of less than £5,000. How is this assessed? How is a practitioner supposed to have a clue about the value without a decent medical report with X-Ray's at discretion of medical examiner, which I always insisted upon when for claimant? When do you miss serious injuries? I know anyone who undertakes motor PI sensibly is alert to the odd case of long term, serious injury.
Osborne's re-capitalisation of the Motor Insurers by clipping bits off recoverable injuries has no jurisprudential basis, and is going to be the start of a list of proscribed injuries that one can suffer with impugnity by the tortfeasor.
God preserve the population from underhand politicians.
