".... the simple answer is that such claims shouldn’t be handled by solicitors at all. If their services are so expensive then they should be reserved for cases where the amounts at stake are large enough to justify them. ..."

I agree and as a solicitor.

".... PI lawyers generally seem to think that they have some sort of God given right to make a living at the expense of insurers. They don't. .."

I think I agree here as well though insurers are very greedy as well.

"...If solicitors can't negotiate settlements of low value claims like this at a reasonable cost then they should stop doing the work. It's probably long overdue that small claims - say up to £25k in value - should be assessed by an independent panel rather than be litigated over. .."

The Bar is going to be delighted but I can't help but agree.

I also agree with your comments on Part 36.
