Once the no win, no fee system began, it also became necessary to ensure that it was being used appropriately; early scare stories about "ambulance chasers" and suchlike made it clear that certain firms were not operating in the spirit of the law that enabled conditional fee arrangements to be made in personal injury cases.
Things came to a head in 2004, when three documents were published. The first was the Citizens Advice Bureau's publication of its evidence regarding the problems with access to no win, no fee compensation claims; next was the Better Regulation Task Force's report on Better Routes for Redress, closely followed by the third document, a Government Response.
The BRTF had recommended that the trade association for compensation claim companies, the Claims Standards Federation, should seek approval from the Office of Fair Trading for its code of practice. Although the trade association had been succeeded by the similarly-named Claims Standards Council, the Government agreed that the new body offered the possibility of strong regulation for claims management firms.
By early 2005, however, the Lord Chancellor had grown disillusioned with the prospect of a large proportion of compensation claim management companies signing up to the CSC. It was therefore decided that the Government would have to bring in legislation to govern the actions of claims management companies. Although the CSC was considered for the role of regulator under the new law, the Compensation Act 2006, it fell to the Secretary of State for Justice to fulfil this role. This is described as an "interim role" until the Legal Services Board sets up a new system.
