Periodical Payments Guide

Kennedys has produced a handy guide to periodical payment orders with advice and information for insurers, written by Christopher Malla, Partner, Kennedys. In the introduction, the guide explains that periodical payment orders, or PPOs, are no longer a mode of settlement just in high value NHS clinical negligence claims. This form of award is invariably “on the table” in most catastrophic personal injury claims. Whilst PPOs may be a nuisance or a headache for some defendants, there is no doubt they can be good news for the victim.
