Victims will pay the price for the Government’s ‘No win, no fee’ reforms
- Injured victims to foot the bill for the Government’s cost cutting agenda.
- A return to the days when only the rich had access to justice.
- Job losses inevitable across the legal and ATE insurance sectors.
The Government is driving its civil litigation reforms through Parliament at breakneck speed.
If passed in their current form, innocent people, whose lives have been devastated by personal injuries or clinical negligence, will soon be made to pay their legal costs from compensation awarded to help them get back on their feet.
We cannot let this happen. The Government’s reckless approach must not go unchallenged. The Bill will be passed through the House of Lords next year before returning to the House of Commons, and this is our last chance to fight against the most seismic shift in civil litigation in living memory.
We’ve made a short film about the Government's proposals which can be found here In the film, you can hear from victims of negligence and accidents who under the proposals would not have been able to access justice.
