Jackson proposes sweeping reforms to cut litigation costs

Wonderful comments. Like the banking crisis, an industry (claimant PI and their ATE insurers, farmers and funders) shows that any apparently simple deregulation will be ruthlessly exploited for profit to the extent that it becomes absurd. The lamentations here have nothing to do with concerns about access to justice and everything to do with the restrictions to be imposed on thebeneficiaries of a licence to print money. If you had really cared about the claimants, then this would not have happened. I am sure there are exceptions, but they are certainly not the majority. What amazes me is that some of the comments show the sheer scale of the self-delusion. I am sure Sir Fred still protests his innocence. Wait, here come the lobbying companies. Another noble industry.
