Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Small Claims (Courts).


Small Claims (Courts)

: The hon. Gentleman is a very experienced personal injury lawyer who has fought many such cases, but I am not. I am focusing on the fact that several injuries fall within the small range that I mentioned. If, at the end of the day, the claimant gets £1,250, one wonders why he has to go through the much more elaborate procedure. The hon. Gentleman, I am sure, fears that the injury will be more complex and cause recurrent problems and will therefore deserve much higher compensation. In that case, it clearly should not be in the small claims track.
