Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Compensation Bill (HL).
Compensation Bill [Lords]
Does my hon. Friend agree that it is not only a scandal of solicitors and specific unions that have deducted money from people’s claims but of some solicitors using the claims as if they were operating a sausage machine, and processing them without doing a great deal of work on them? In several cases, they have under-settled a claim when a competent solicitor would have pursued it and the claimants could have got more.
