The Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2010 lay down new rules for the processing of personal injury claims from £1,000 to a maximum of £10,000 and will come into force on 30th April. RTA1 is the initial claimant’s form and RTA2 is sent after RTA1 has been served. RTA3 is a medical report which summarises the effect of the accident upon the claimant where the defendant admits liability. RTA4 and RTA5 are forms which reflect attempts to settle the case before it comes to trial. RTA6 and RTA7 are forms which are used to ask the court to decide the amount of damages in accordance with the Pre-Action Protocol for Low Value Personal Injury claims in Road Traffic Accidents which is defined in Schedule 1 of the 2010 Rules. N210B is used where the claimant’s solicitor issues N208 because no agreement for damages has been reached. Practice Direction 8B sets out a new simplified procedure which the parties must follow in this situation. None of forms should be used before 30th April. Practitioners should no longer use PI1 and PI2 which have been withdrawn from this range in the light of these procedural amendments.
