MOTOR LIABILITY TRAINING IN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND

I am delighted to be presenting my public training on motor liability through the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers again this year.  This includes the following locations:


  • Manchester on   8 December 2015
  • London on         12 January   2015

Recent developments require a brand new course, and some fabulous cases,.  
The training will cover: 

Major reforms to motor insurers’ liability and MIB claims

o    The case for wider reform

·         Why a working knowledge of European law is essential
o    EU law bright line standards of minimum compensatory protection made simple
o    Raising successful legal challenges

o    Highways Act claims
o    Primary liability scenarios
o    Credit hire and repair claims
o    Accidents abroad in Europe

Feedback from previous MIB training
Nick is a brilliant and enthusiastic speaker’  ‘
Nick made a rather dry and technical subject understandable and, dare I say it, fun’  In one hour Mr Bevan presented the best overview of the civil justice reforms that I have read or heard’ 

‘The course notes are superb’
