• The government is obliged to undertake a formal review of the PIDR within 5 years of the last review. The next formal review of the current statutory rate, under the Civil Liability Act (CLA) 2018 must begin by Summer 2024. • The setting of the PIDR will have material implications for the value of future losses and total claims costs and so the approach to be taken and the methodology adopted will be of utmost importance to underwriters and claims managers.

E-scooters: Pavement Nuisance or Transport Innovation?

  • Thu 29 Jun 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
  • Clyde & Co
    • Alistair Kinley, Clyde & Co
    • David Thompson, Clyde & Co.
    • Verinder Bedi, Clyde & Co.

• Electric scooters are legally classified as motor vehicles. Since they have neither type-approval, nor conform to construction and use regulations, and are not taxed, registered or insured, it remains illegal to ride privately owned e-scooters in public places. • Despite this, they are all too commonly seen on roads and pavements in towns and cities across the UK. The law has not kept up with this practical reality. Government plans for a new Act of Parliament to legalise and regulate scooter use have yet to emerge. • With no formal legal framework in place to date, claimants and claims handlers are having to consider issues such as duties of care, breach, causation and contributory negligence largely from first principles in current cases. This an uncertain and unsatisfactory position.
