Welcome to the April edition of Liability Brief and to the post-Jackson world.

Welcome to the latest edition of Medical Law Brief. The Ministry of Justice has published its consultation into the legal framework for setting the personal injury Discount Rate. The consultation seeks views on two issues: whether the legal parameters defining how the rate is set should be changed and whether there is a case for encouraging the use of periodical payment orders instead of lump sum payments.

Welcome to the first edition of the Medical Law Brief for 2013. The implementation of the Jackson reforms is proceeding in earnest. Two draft statutory instruments have been laid before parliament: one dealing with damages-based agreements and the other, the 25 per cent cap on the success fee that a lawyer can take from personal injury clients' damages (excluding future loss). A statutory instrument has also been published to achieve the intended change in the Part 36 regime from 1 April 2013, which will see an additional sanction of 10 per cent on damages in all claims where the defendant’s offer does not beat judgment.
