Consumer Justice Alliance gathers members
Legal expenses insurer, Elite, has joined the Consumer Justice Alliance (CJA) as one of seven founding members of an executive team.
The CJA aims to provide a united response to the Jackson Review by protecting the interests of those associated with personal injury claims.
The body believes that Lord Jackson’s recommendations on civil litigation “fundamentally endanger the ability of maimed victims to be properly compensated for personal loss or injury”, and the Alliance therefore intends to lobby on behalf of the personal injury litigation claims industry.
Elite, along with Harris Fowler, Wixted & Co, Gadsby Wicks Solicitors, Pro Legal, Glynns Solicitors, and ARAG will form the executive team.
Discussions are ongoing with a number of other firms regarding membership, and the first meeting of the CJA will take place this month to plan an official launch.
Commenting on the announcement, Elite’s group chief executive officer, Jason Smart, says: “We believe the suggested changes will leave injured victims at the mercy of large insurance companies and prevent many of them being adequately compensated.”
He adds: “We are therefore very pleased to have been asked to join the CJA and are committed to finding an alternative solution to the Jackson review.”
