NLJ columnist Professor Dominic Regan looks into his crystal ball this week, predicting a timescale for fixed costs reforms as well as recounting an unfortunate disclosure by a judge
He points out sub-£25,000 claims against private healthcare are captured, which will have a ‘significant’ impact since ‘claims against aesthetic clinics are rife and much dental work today is outside the NHS’. And while the government maintains claimant compensation will not suffer, Regan says he knows some major firms have already decided to abandon such cases.
He also recounts a further twist in the ‘murky’ Post Office Horizon scandal, involving a former senior judge. See p7.
