Title: Lord Chancellor Delays Extended RTA Portal Decision
The proposed RTA Portal extension has been delayed amid fears the plans had been rushed
through.
Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State Chris Grayling is reported to have agreed that an
extension of the RTA (Road Traffic Accident) portal to include employers’ liability, public
liability and higher Road Accident Claims will not materialise when previously claimed.
The
extension was originally planned to come into effect as of April 2013 but has been moved back
indefinitely.
The original proposal which included extending the current RTA scheme to include claims up to
£25,000 has been challenged by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and the
Motor Accident Solicitors Society (MASS) via a judicial review.
Both bodies supported the principle of increasing and extending the RTA portal but believed that
the changes were not comprehensively thought out enough.
