Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Damages-Based Agreements Regulations 2010.
Damages-Based Agreements Regulations 2010
Paragraph 3.11 of the impact assessment states: ""The introduction of a maximum cap may result in some claimants with particularly complex claims being unable to find a representative to act for them under a DBA, as the restriction on their fee means the representative is unwilling to take their case on given the risks involved. This suggests that in some cases, access to justice may be restricted, which represents a cost to claimants"." What does the Minister say about that criticism in his own impact assessment?
