Section 58: Rules against inducements to make personal injury claims

508.Section 58 bans the offer of a benefit by a regulated person (as defined in section 60) to a potential claimant where the benefit offered is an inducement in respect of a personal injury claim and is not related to the provision of legal services in connection with the claim. Subsection (2) provides that the offer of a benefit is an inducement if that benefit is intended to encourage, or is likely to have the effect of encouraging, a person either to make a personal injury claim or to seek advice from a legal service provider with a view to making such a claim. Subsection (4) provides for offers of benefits routed via a third party to be treated as having been offered by the regulated person. Section 60 defines “benefit” as any benefit, whether or not in money or other property and whether temporary or permanent, and any opportunity to obtain a benefit (for example, the offer to be entered in a draw for a prize).

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
