<p>The Government confirmed on 3 July 2019 to the Justice Select Committee that it
will exempt, for the time being, children and protected parties from the increase
in the small claims track limit to £5,000 for road traffic accident related personal
injury claims. This will mean that children and protected parties will not be required
to use the new IT Service and the Pre-Action Protocol. The Government believes this
is a pragmatic way forward which will enable further testing of the new processes
before considering further whether they are extended to this group of claimants.</p>
