UK Government watching over no win no fee solicitors
The work that a no win no fee solicitor may do in the UK on a personal injury compensation case will be governed, in the last instance, by the Ministry of Justice.
This is a Government department created in 2007 when the Department for Constitutional Affairs, previously part of the Home Office's role, was promoted into its own Ministry. It is now responsible for ensuring people have access to justice as well as dealing with the effects of justice being served (or not).
The media tends to interpret this as ensuring that enough prison spaces are available to service those people who are sentenced in criminal trials, but - for a personal injury lawyer - the relevant sections of its work are those that cover civil law.
To demonstrate that civil law (including accident and injury compensation) is also central to their work, their own list of strategic objectives is fourfold:
- strengthen democracy, rights and responsibilities
- deliver fair and simple routes to civil and family justice
- protect the public and reduce reoffending
- ensure a more effective, transparent and responsive criminal justice system for victims and the public
They also encourage that the use of the civil law includes mediation and settlements to avoid the cost, time and potential distress of cases that go all the way to court. For this reason, there is also an MP in the Ministry - Bridget Prentice, at the time of writing - who is tasked with monitoring and preventing 'compensation culture', that bugbear of the press.
More about the Ministry is available at their website, www.justice.gov.uk.
