Portal would speed up settlements for asbestos victims
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is proposing an online portal to settle uncontested claims with the insurers of the employers responsible for exposing them to asbestos.
The proposals, which are at consultation stage, would be backed by an insurer-funded online case management system.
If the proposals are accepted, they could save insurers money on solicitors’ costs, the government believes.
Courts minister Helen Grant said: “The improved out-of-court process will help to ensure they can access any compensation they are due as quickly as possible.”
