The whole debate is dishonest. Insurers claim the system is rife with fraud. It is not. Claimants say it is all about access to justice and not self preservation. The government says they are determined to bring in the changes. They are not. They don't have the time and they don't have the majority. What they have done however is simply tax the activity through court fees and IPT which is all they can do without legislating. I think what we are witnessing now is the government desperately trying to appear assertive when they are devoid of real power. We have the insurers PR machine in full swing and we have the Claimant lobby trying to win hearts and minds. It is a stalemate. I don't think much is likely to change.
