Pre Action Protocol Low Value RTA Changes
1st October, 2011
Changes are also made to the Pre-Action Protocol for low value personal injury claims in road traffic accidents, clarifying what information should be contained in documents sent to the Court for assessment of the value of damages. The amendment substitutes in paragraph 7.55 for (a) and (b) the following:-
“a) In Part A the Schedule of the Claimant’s losses and the Defendant’s responses comprising only the figures specified in sub-paragraphs 1 and 2 above, together with supporting comments and evidence from both parties on any disputed heads of damage; and
b) In Part B the final offer and counter offer from the Stage 2 settlement pack form and, where relevant, the offer and any final counter offer made under paragraph 7.45.”
