Article summary

This week's edition of PI & Clinical Negligence weekly highlights includes a High Court case which looked at the use of intermediaries to assist vulnerable parties in personal injury claims. We also consider a Court of Appeal decision which ruled that denying hire charges based solely on the lack of a valid MOT would be a disproportionate response to the relatively minor nature of that offence. We also include our usual roundup of other news, cases and New Law Journal articles of interest.
