The Problem
Lets go back to 1969
E L I
Good intentions?
Now being taken advantage of?
Slow process of dealing with claims?
The Woolf Reforms - changes
Letter of claim to be acknowledged within 21 days
90 days from date of acknowledgement to either accept liability or deny (giving full reasons if denying)
Agreement to be reached on using a single expert
The Woolf Reforms - objectives
Elimination of speculative actions (due to requirement to fully outline claimant’s case in letter of claim)
Earlier and more comprehensive details of the claim allowing a more focussed investigation and response
‘part 36 offers’ (payments into court) seeming to have either greater effect in deterring claimants from pursuing litigation
Overall faster settlement
The Basics that you need to be aware
of?
The common law duty of care : -
Provide safe place of work

of?
The 3 stage test of negligence : -
Was a duty of care owed?

of?
Duties of Employees at work : -
Take care of themselves and others (who may
be affected by their acts / omissions)
Co-operate with the employer
