It’s been 10 years since the Criminal Justice and Courts Act gave courts power to dismiss claims if a claimant is deemed ‘fundamentally dishonest’. Some defendant lawyers misuse this, making false allegations to scare injured people out of pursuing the compensation they need.

Pauline Roberts, a specialist in multi-party litigation, has stepped up to the role of APIL vice president. "APIL has a vital role to play in making sure the voices of injured people are heard. I am proud to be a part of that."
