Department Of Health
In 2022, we ran a public consultation on proposals to introduce a new scheme to enable claimants and defendants to achieve faster resolution of lower value clinical negligence claims (claims valued up to and including 25,000) at a lower, more proportionate cost than under the current system.
In response to feedback, we are now publishing a short supplementary consultation addressing the issue of disbursements under the proposals.
This supplementary consultation seeks views on whether the cost of disbursements should be included within the specified recoverable costs in the Lower Damages Clinical Negligence Claim Fixed Recoverable Costs (LDFRC) scheme or should be additionally and separately recoverable, and which disbursements should be included.
