The leading case of Lyle v Allianz demonstrated the opportunity
for insurers to seek appropriate remedies when there has been a
potential abuse of the Practice Direction 8B process. In response
to this, we have developed a successful strategy to force portal
claims out of 'incubation' and towards their appropriate
conclusion.
Why is this strategy needed?
The Ministry of Justice Portal ("the portal") applies
to all employers' liability, public liability, and motor bodily
injury claims valued between £1,000 and £25,000.
The claims are progressed in accordance with the Pre-Action
Protocols for Low Value Personal Injury Claims for either:
- Road Traffic Accidents or;
- Employers' Liability and Public
Liability Claims.
