The talk of the day is this morning’s announcement that the Civil Liability Bill will be introduced into the House of Lords later, with the publication of the Bill itself tomorrow. There will be plenty to discuss once there is a little more clarity on the reforms as set out in the Bill, particularly around the whiplash definition.
In the meantime, we thought that it would be helpful to set out an indicative timeline for the Civil Liability Bill. This is by no means set in stone – parliamentary timings are uncertain at any point, let alone at the moment with an unstable Government and the distractions caused by Brexit negotiations. However, educated guesses can be made at this stage based on a number of assumptions (as outlined at the end of this alert).
The Keoghs Market Affairs Team will keep close to this piece of legislation as it develops – both in terms of monitoring its progress and in influencing outcomes through parliamentary engagement. Watch this space…!
