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 in, including housing disrepair and cavity wall claims, which may not be subject to fixed costs / small claims track costs.

Generally this book covers issues in relation to housing disrepair claims and cavity wall 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.

Cavity walls claims 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.

The Housing Disrepair section covers the nature and technical background of these claims, who to sue, contractual and statutory rights, establishing breach of duty, expert evidence, causation, quantum and costs.

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

The 2nd edition focuses on more recent developments in cavity wall claims over the last 6 months. The updated book covers defences, dealing with cavity wall and personal injury claims, the role of CIGA, procedural issues in the CPR, surveyors evidence and part 35, and quantum update. It focuses on our experience of the first cases going through litigation. The 2nd edition also focuses upon choosing the correct defendant, insolvent defendants and insurance issues.
