Response to Press Comment
NAHL (AIM: NAH), the leading UK marketing and services business
focused on the UK consumer legal market, notes the press comment
reporting that the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has proposed, as part
of the Prisons and Courts Bill unveiled today, to increase the
small claims limit for road traffic accident (RTA) claims to
GBP5,000 and introduce a new small claims threshold of GBP2,000 for
all other personal injury claims.
NAHL, through National Accident Helpline ("NAH"), the Group's PI
division, has been fully supportive of the government's work in
tackling insurance fraud via its involvement in the Insurance Fraud
Task Force and whilst we remain focused on the potential impact on
claimants, we welcome the increased clarity provided today.
As previously stated, enquiries generated by NAH are
predominately non-RTA related, nevertheless a proportion of these
do fall below the proposed GBP2,000 threshold and will require an
alternative route to justice. We will examine the impact of the
proposed changes with a view to ensuring all claimants have the
necessary access to justice and will provide a further update prior
to the Group's preliminary results scheduled for 21(st) March.
