haha, you need to chill. Why the personal attack? Did I hit a nerve?

Why is my example flawed? Judges are meant to actively case manage matters and are slowly but surely doing so. The Judge does not allocate a matter based just on the Claimant's valuation. I am running a case that is valued at 6k but is allocated to the Multi Track. Value is only 1 limb to be considered on allocation.

In my 20+ years of doing PI for Claimants and Defendants and dealing with LIPs, it is exactly how is plays out on valuation when dealing with a LIP. The general public often have an inflated view of how much their claim is worth. Yes some Claimant lawyers will inflate their case value but if a well pitched P36 offer is made, they generally have the knowledge to see the risk of not beating it at trial and the case will settle.

I have an excellent concept of and fully understand the proposed reforms. The proposals are wrong and flawed. It will cause nothing but difficulties and use up even more court time.
