Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reforming Civil Justice.


Reforming Civil Justice

Given the Lord Chancellor's characteristic willingness to take what in ““Yes, Minister”” would have been called ““courageous decisions”” about success fees, insurance fees, after-the-event insurance and the scope of the small claims courts, will he tell us what he thinks about referral fees and claims farming, which are probably major contributors to the compensation and litigation culture?
