So Lord Keen thinks that it would be in the interest of justice for LiP's to suddenly find their case transferred from the small claims track where there is no risk of costs, to the Fast Track where the cost risk is very real?

Presumably he has properly researched how easy it will be for an LiP to find legal representation and ATE insurance at this very late stage?

And presumably he is expecting the courts just to stay proceedings for months whilst the injured claimant, who has just been accused of fraud, because they are from Birmingham and it was a rear end collision, tries to find a lawyer and obtain insurance?

A complete load of twaddle.
