Costs rules for new RTA Claims Process

I've been busy over the last few days trying to digest the new rules for the new Claims Process for Low Value RTA Claims.  Although low value RTA claims is not an area I particularly specialise in, I am due to talk on the costs aspect of this scheme on 12th March 2010 at the CLT Conference on the subject (view brochure).  As I mentioned in an earlier post, the new rules for the RTA Claims Process are anything but simple.  CLT wanted speakers to produce their notes by 22nd February.  Given the Ministry of Justice only started to circulate the draft rules on 17th February, this was rather an optimistic deadline.  I just pity those who are expected to have mastered the new rules in time for the implementation date.
