Complex claims should be excluded fixed recoverable costs schemeā©
If the Department of Health decides to introduce a fixed recoverable costs scheme in low-value clinical negligence cases,
complex claims should be excluded and the fixed costs payable should enable expert clinical negligence solicitors to undertake
even low-value cases, according to the Law Society. If not, it added, patients won’t be able to get the legal advice they
need.
