Greystoke Legal Services has signalled a change in how it will deal with personal injury (after the event) insurance.

It has told its 1200 members that the company will offer cover for lower value cases on a delegated scheme basis only.

Managing director Sally Dunscombe said: "Our research with solicitors stressed the need for them to have control of acceptance of individual cases and concerns for the cost of administrating fast-track cases.

"For example, the cost of explaining a Conditional Fee Agreement is often greater than the possible success fee."

From now on the company will just cover a limited amount of personal injury cases, under the umbrella of one of its delegated insurance arrangements with a law firm.
