This provision does not include damages for imminent protection and loss. The 25% cap on personal claim will benefit both the solicitor and the law costs draftsman. This cap will only be used by claimants for net charges once the Department of Work and Pension had collected all necessary documentations that will support the claim. With this, the law costs draftsman will have to show a well presented list of law costs that were used for the court case.
