Civil Liability Bill
7th Sep 2018
The Civil Liability Bill entered the House of Commons on 28th June 2018 and had its second reading on 4th September. You can follow the Bill’s progress by visiting: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-liability-bill/
The Bill makes significant changes to the personal injury compensation system and one of its stated objectives is to ensure claimants get full and fair compensation awards, yet not everyone is convinced. Brett Dixon, president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers commented in June:
“Government’s failure to listen to reason about plans to introduce derisory compensation tariffs for victims of whiplash injury is a blow to the fair treatment of people with genuine injuries.”
The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, a respected not-for-profit organisation committed to promoting full and just compensation for personal injury claimants, is campaigning for changes to be made to the Bill and puts forward a compelling argument.
