Presented by Nicholas Bevan of Nota Bene Legal Consulting
“Very clear, concise delivery. Points very well
explained.”
Most practitioners are aware that the compensatory protection
for motor accident victims under the Road Traffic Act 1988 and in both MIB
Agreements falls below the minimum standard of protection required by the EU
directive on motor insurance. This illegality is currently the subject of an
ongoing judicial review.
Under the current schemes, some incidents fall completely outside the scope of MIB liability and third party cover, for example:
Under the current schemes, some incidents fall completely outside the scope of MIB liability and third party cover, for example:
- Accidents
in places that don’t require TP cover, such as private lanes and parking
areas
- Accidents
featuring a type of motor vehicle that does not require TP cover: such as
a go cart, electric skateboard, or a piece of farm machinery etc.
In numerous other claims the MIB rely on exclusions or
restrictions of liability (purportedly conferred in its agreements with the
Secretary of State for Transport) where these are not permitted under European
law.
Every year, many injured claimants face a stark dilemma: of either being left undercompensated or empty handed or embarking on the hazardous and costly process of pursing a Francovich action against the state, a route made even more risky due to the UK’s exit from the EU .
New ground breaking research reveals that the MIB is directly responsible for compensating anyone injured by an event that ought to be covered by motor insurance (under EU law) but isn’t. The claim is pursued as an ordinary personal injury action with the benefit of QOCS.
This webinar explains the relevant law and outlines the process that will be covered in more detail in the forthcoming full day APIL training day on Mastering MIB claims.
This is new, not to be missed, cutting edge and essential law for anyone handling motor accident claims.
Brexit won’t directly alter our law for at least 2 years and the rule of retrospectively means that that European law remedies applies to a minimum of a 5 year tranche of claims.
