MoJ to make decision in new year
The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has welcomed news that the implementation date for the extended road traffic accident claims process will be reconsidered by the secretary of state for justice Chris Grayling.
The organisation said the Ministry of Justice will not reveal any decision on the matter until the new year.
APIL president Karl Tonks said: “We have said from the outset that we do not object in principle to the introduction of changes which speed up and improve the civil justice system for the benefit of all parties.
“Our concern in this instance, however, is that proper consideration of key issues was being sacrificed in favour of an impractical ambition to introduce extensions to the RTA portal by next April.
“We look forward now to offering further input on what the implementation date may be.”
