‘A Practical Guide to SIPPs, Timeshare Misselling and Secret Commission Cases’ by Ian Skeate, Monica Savic-Jabrow, Alexander Ruaux-Keyho

Description

The Small Claims Track change for personal injury cases is likely to come into effect in October 2019. This book looks at other areas personal injury practitioners have begun to focus on, including mis-selling claims.

Generally this book covers issues in relation to SIPPs, timeshare misselling and secret commission claims, and in particular focuses on the day-to-day issues in practice that one encounters with such cases including spotting the ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ quickly and efficiently, practical tips for investigation, litigation tactics, as well as a summary of the law, the important cases, and how to run these claims efficiently.

The book chapters cover the nature of the claim and technical background, relevant standards, who to sue, allegations of negligence and breach of duty, disclosure, remedies, expert evidence, causation, quantum and costs. The book also covers running the claims on DBAs and coverage of the Damages Based Agreement Regulations 2013.

This is a book that any personal injury practitioner, looking to diversify into these areas, should not be without.
