More recently, Don has worked closely with a number of compensators in relation to defining and maintaining a sensible strategy towards the credit hire market and helping them to develop processes and procedures geared towards equitable settlements.

Additionally he was appointed in 2014 by the MOJ to a “core” working group to implement the Government′s whiplash reform programme published in October 2013 which eventually, amongst other things, led to the introduction of MedCo and a new fixed fee for medical reports in whiplash cases. Don has frequently presented on LASPO implementation and the continuing consequences of the LASPO reforms.
