The Motor Insurance Regulation Bill - 3rd Update from NewLaw Solicitors.
This update is the third in our series of briefing documents that have tracked the progress
of the proposed reform of the personal injury compensation system. This series began with
the introduction of Jack Straw’s Motor Insurance Regulation Bill.
Since then the Government has picked up on some of the proposed reforms and embodied
them within the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill. That Bill has now
completed its journey through the House of Commons and it is almost safe to assume that
the proposed provisions are now in their final format.
The short point is that the majority of the original propositions and subsequent amendments
have fallen away, leaving the referral fee ban as the only remaining live issue for the time
being.
Previous provisions in relation to whiplash claims, cold calling and the use of personal data
in relation to injury victims have fallen away.
It is worth noting that the original Motor Insurance Regulation Bill which contains some of
those provisions remains in existence and is due for its second reading on the 20th January
2012. However it seems unlikely that the remaining parts of that Bill will now make it into
the statute books.
