	answer	answer answer text <p>The provisions in Part One of the Civil Liability Act (the Act) apply to the occupants of a motor vehicle whether or not they were injured in the course of their employment. An impact assessment was published following the completion of the Parliamentary passage of the Act, which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-liability-bill" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-liability-bill</a>.</p><p>Following implementation, the Government will monitor the management information produced by the new Official Injury Claims service, including data on the impact of the measures implemented through the Act and the supplementary measures to increase the small claims limit for road traffic accident related personal injury claims.</p><p>All claimants, will be able to access the new service which will enable the effective resolution of their claim pre-court proceedings. Claimants will also be able to utilise the low cost small claims track procedure, which is designed to be accessible and uncomplicated should they need to progress their claim through the courts.</p> question first answered 09/03/2020 15:09:15 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

It is Cafcass’ priority to see children and families in person when it is in their best interest to do so, and this will depend on the particular circumstances in each case. From the end of November all Cafcass offices and touchdown locations will be open to provide Covid-secure places to work and to meet children and families while keeping safe. Cafcass will continue to review and ensure that all these measures are in accordance with government and public health guidance.</p><p> </p><p>In terms of the impact of remote hearings on Cafcass, research by the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory published in October shows that most professionals, including Cafcass staff, feel that overall the courts are now working more effectively and that there are even some benefits from remote working. However, the report also highlights some areas of concern that need to be addressed. There are clearly circumstances where more support is required to enable parents and young people to take part in remote hearings effectively, and this is under consideration by the senior family judiciary.</p><p> </p><p>Cafcass continues to experience high levels of demand for its services while managing a rise in the number of open cases due to a reduction in case disposals. The Ministry of Justice has allocated an additional £3.4m this year to help Cafcass meet these challenges.

There are known problems with the entry date information extracted from JPA which is supposed to reflect their 'current entry date' but if personnel have transferred to the Army from another Service, served under an alternative assignment type (e.g. reserve forces), are re-entrants or have transferred from Other Ranks to Officers, their entry date may correspond to any of these events.</p><p> </p><p>The figures are for outflow of untrained Regular soldiers broken down by financial years. This table has been compiled based on the year of outflow rather than the year of inflow used as the base for previous publication.</p><p> </p><p>For presentation purpose, figures have been rounded to 10; numbers ending in &quot;5&quot; have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.</p><p> </p><p>Totals and sub-totals have been rounded separately and so may not appear to be the sum of their parts.</p> question first answered 30/01/2020 15:03:18 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
