WINNING THE UNWINNABLE MOTOR CLAIM

MIB v Lewis

Lunchtime webinar on 19 June 2019 at 13.00 hrs

There has been a programme change to accommodate the ground-breaking implications of last week's Court of Appeal ruling in Motor Insurers' Bureau v Lewis 2019 EWCA Civ 909

Book now via the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers at: https://www.apil.org.uk

In a break with 73 years of jurisprudence, the Court of Appeal has fixed the UK motor insurance industry’s’ privately-owned consortium, the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, with a new autonomous legal obligation to compensate outside the parameters of the Road Traffic Act 1988. 

Another important consequence of this ruling is that MIB Agreements are now subject to an EU law conforming interpretation; applying EU law authorities that effectively overrule an earlier House of Lords ruling to the contrary. 

Serious deficiencies in the Supreme Court’s rulings in Cameron v Liverpool Victoria Assurance [2109] and Pilling v UK Insurance [2019] may be flagged up but a more detailed consideration will be covered in a separate webinar, currently under preparation.
