Court of Protection and trust lawyers who assist in personal injury and clinical negligence cases will be impacted by proposed amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules.
In this week’s NLJ, Court of Protection partner Gareth Williams, of Price Slater Gawne, looks at the changes that are coming down the line and sets out how they will affect the landscape.
The changes come into play where money recovered for a protected beneficiary exceeds £100,000. Williams looks at how the amendments might work in practice, noting they are ‘likely to delay the process, making it vitally important for litigation friends to get their proverbial “ducks in a row” well in advance of any approval hearing’.
