Oh Please No - Not The Co-Alition And Ridiculous Laws Too!
The new co-alition Government seems determined to carry on the non stop ridiculous law making situation that Labour created and were so famous for (4300 laws including fines including failing to nominate a keyholder to turn your alarm off whilst on holiday).
Just over 100 days after coming into power David Cameron has ordered Lord Young of Graffham to look into compensation claims. His first thought is to ban all “No Win No Fee Television Advertising”.
Lord Young has been quoted as saying:
"As the volume of advertising by claims management companies increased over the last few years, so did public perception of the rise of litigation. Perception is reality."
Solicitor Nicholas Jervis from national legal collective Loyalty Law says in response:
"I should not be surprised by anything anyone connected with Government says these days, but to say "Perception is Reality" when clearly it is not is absolutely ridiculous. Perception is not reality; reality is reality. The accepted reality, as stated by Lord Young in the same press release is that claims figures have not increased."
Jervis continues;
"This just does not make any sense at all and sounds to me just like Labour's time in office where they seemed committed to making "Laws for laws sake". I always find it fascinating that lawyers who move out of the law and into politics always seem determined to attack the industry that they have not long since left behind. Where does this silly law making stop? Why not ban new car advertising next. This would surely be an excellent law. If there was no new car advertising, no one would buy a new car and then there would be absolutely no accidents on the roads. Is that perception or reality or am I being ridiculous?"
"I am sure the TV companies making £40 million a year from people promoting their businesses to people who need their services (injured accident victims) when many others have deserted them would have something to say about this."
