Compensation and insurance issues

As mentioned earlier the legal system in England and Wales changed dramatically with the introduction of the Woolf reforms in 1999. These reforms apply to injury claims. This date was feared by many because of the uncertainty and the fact that the pre-action protocols were very demanding. 

2 90 days from date of acknowledgement to either accept liability or deny. If liability is denied then full reasons must be given 

The overriding message is that to comply with the protocols quick action is necessary. It is also vitally important that records are accurately kept and accessible. 

Lord Woolf made it clear in his instructions to the judiciary that there should be very little leeway given to claimants and defendants who did not comply.
