The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) president Brett Dixon has vowed to fight the Civil Liability Bill ‘on every platform available’. Speaking at APIL’s annual conference, Dixon said the Bill would lead to people with life-changing injuries ‘almost certainly’ returning to a situation where their compensation did not meet their needs, and people with genuine whiplash injuries having their compensation restricted. Dixon said: ‘The principle of 100% compensation is fundamental to how the tort system works and should never be at risk from the desire of insurers to make more profit.’
