Anon @ 17:02 the individual clients aren't up in arms because at present they have not either had their rights curtailed / made uneconomic yet.

See what Joe Public's response is when (with TPFF) they have a claim with Generals @ (in today's valuation £4k £1200 on tariff) LOE of £1000 and repairs of £5000 and you tell them, "sorry Mr Public, you can't get your costs back so you'll have to pay 50% of all damages, and that's if you're lucky. . . now be a good chap and suck it up and be grateful you've saved £35 when you next renew your policy".

You do have a point though in that it is the members of the public who's voices will count. I think it's time for all claimant firms to seek to get their clients to write to MP's in marginal constituencies to explaining how these proposals would have prevented them from obtaining the necessary redress (and that's even if we have the tariff system).
