Appeal by a claimant against a case management decision in an action where the sum claimed was only andpound;3,486. Despite that circumstance, there is an important issue of principle at stake, which merits an appeal to the Court of Appeal. Approximately 800,000 cases per year are dealt with under the rules which we are being asked to construe.
The issue in this appeal is how the court should deal with low value road traffic accident claims where the personal injury element has been resolved and only a modest dispute about car hire charges remains.
