Useful information

The recent Compensation (Claims Management Services) (Amendment) Regulations 2008 (made pursuant to the Compensation Act 2006) make amendments to the Compensation (Claims Management Services) Regulations 2006. The 2008 Regulations come into force in part on the 1st July bringing with it a requirement for authorised persons who provide representation for claimants in the area of personal injury claims to take out and maintain professional indemnity insurance complying with the specified minimum terms. 

Regulation 3 of the Compensation (Claims Management Services) (Amendment) Regulations 2008 amends Regulation 21 of the 2006 Regulations stating the requirements as follows:

"Minimum terms of professional indemnity insurance 
21B. — 
(1) The contract of professional indemnity insurance must— 
(a) comply with the requirements in paragraphs (2) to (5); 
(b) provide cover where an authorised person or an employee — 
(i) represents a client in the course of providing or purporting to provide regulated claims management services; and 
(ii) may be liable for their actions. 
(2) The minimum level of indemnity in the contract of professional indemnity insurance must be– 
(a) £250,000 for a single claim; and 
(b) £500,000 for aggregated claims. 
(3) Where the contract for professional indemnity insurance includes an excess, this must not be greater than £10,000 per claim. 
(4) The contract for professional indemnity insurance must contain cover in respect of legal defence costs. (5) The contract for professional indemnity insurance must provide for continuous cover for all claims — 
(a) first made against the insured during the period of insurance; or 
(b) made against the insured during or after the period of insurance and arising from claims first notified to the insurer during the period of insurance."
