Officials from the Ministry of Justice have, however, been present at meetings since that date with insurer and claimant interests on other subjects at which the subject of the discount rate has been raised, including a meeting with insurers and representatives of the insurance industry chaired by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 28 February (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/chancellor-meets-insurance-sector-leaders-to-discuss-personal-injury-discount-rate).</p><p> </p><p>The proposed changes to the way in which the discount rate is set could potentially affect the size of all lump sum awards of personal injury damages for future pecuniary loss.
