Professor Dominic Regan tackles the apparent myth that ‘individuals would overnight become adept at pursuing claims and would go it alone’ on small claims for road traffic injuries, in this week’s NLJ
‘Some judges and senior civil servants are worryingly out of touch,’ he writes. ‘They think claimants want to go it alone and resent legal assistance. Nothing could be further from the truth.’
In fact, recently released figures indicate nine out of ten pursue their claim through legal representation. Regan also recounts a pithy anecdote from the memoir of former Supreme Court Justice Simon Brown, comments on the disclosure pilot and looks ahead to the second coming of Belsner v Cam.
