"Damages for pain and suffering have not increased in line with Law Commission recommendations made eight years ago.The number of compensation claims being made has also been generally falling for several years.If ever there was a time for the government to go further and really grasp the nettle of full and fair redress for needless and preventable injury,surely this is it," he asserts.
Apil argues that the focus of reform should be on full and fair compensation for the claimant or bereaved family,and is keen for the statutory list of people who are able to claim for financial loss under the Fatal Accidents Act to be extended.
In Scotland this list is already far more comprehensive than other parts of the UK,where claimants are limited."In England and Wales individual claims for damages on death are restricted,whereas in Scotland we have always had a much wider category of people who can make a claim - provided they fall into the category of 'immediate family',such as the deceased person's spouse,cohabitee,parent or child," explains Douglas Keir,joint head of the insurance liability unit at Anderson Strathern Solicitors in Edinburgh.
"From May 2006,this group was extended to include siblings,civil partners,grandparents and grandchildren of the deceased.On the other hand relationships by affinity,such as in-laws,who could previously make a claim,were excluded."
Another key difference between the two legal jurisdictions lies in the level of compensation for bereavement available in England and Wales compared to Scotland.In the former,this is set at £10,000 by law,whereas in Scotland the rewards can be much higher.
