ABI responds to Government proposals on civil litigation reform Civil Litigation Reform: Insurers’ response

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) said the government announcement on civil litigation reform “will put the brake on runaway legal costs and mean a better deal for genuine claimants and insurance customers.” The ABI has been campaigning for reforms to the existing system, especially reducing the high level of legal costs in settling personal injury claims, one of the major reasons for the general rise in the motor insurance premiums.
