APIL poll on effect of small claims change

A recent MORI poll commissioned by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), found the majority of people surveyed would not seek justice through the courts if the Government had gone ahead with changes to the small claims court. MORI found that 64% of people out of over 2,000 surveyed would be unlikely to pursue their case without an independent solicitor, and 80% of people believe that without an independent solicitor to help them they would not receive the right amount of compensation from an insurer.
