Unless you’re a myopic, right wing and irrationally Isle of Man hating long term resident of Norfolk. Nothing is being swept under any carpet. What has this to do with any establishment here. It’s a claim by an injured couple. It’s being dealt with by insurers, not IoMG, not even IoMG insurers. They’ve admitted liability. Presumably other people making a claim have been paid out. Many other people other than this couple were injured. Yes, it looks like a long delay; but 1. it took the couple 3 years to Issue the claim. 2. Claimant and Defendant then agreed a stay. A standstill to allow medical evidence and accountancy evidence to be obtained, exchanged and evaluated. 3. there hasn’t been agreement. The court has now removed the stay. The claimants could behave ended the stay on notice. So, no deliberate delay. Issues of causation are in play. I’m not involved, but from experience it’s likely to be 4. how much of the medical expenses claimed, which will be private and will most likely be being claimed back by the claimants insurers, relate directly to the accident. 5. the extent of the PTSD claim. They are notoriously difficult to establish, what due to claim, what due to other factors. Theres a judgment about to go live on IoM Judgments on line. came to court because the insurers applied to court to dismiss because the claimants hadn’t progressed the case for 4 years. I’ve read the judgment, but it hasn’t gone up on line yet. Interesting last paragraph. I wonder what the reaction to the way this claim has been --- dealt with --- when it receives much greater publication in the MSM that is hardly sympathetic to the island and what is taking place as it is especially where its support to online gambling is concerned. With a little help and a word In the right ears this could run and run for some time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read this. http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=55894&headline=TT crash victims claim damages§ionIs=NEWS&searchyear=2020 Absolutely amazing. It's on a par with the shameful way that the attempt to sweep the Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander scandal under a very lumpy carpet and eventually because of which a self help group had to be created in order to get some sort of justice - eventually. It's as if rather than providing justice the Manx establishment are intent on obstructing the conclusion of what I believe is a VERY small claim for a very major incident. IMO rather than £200000 which is far too low a sum, it should be at least a hundred times more because it should include punitive damages against the ACU or better yet the Manx government. Deliberate delay which is precisely what is taking place is disgusting - but it has precedence which makes it even worse. Lot of horse shit there Rog. Well done. KSF wasn't swpet under any carpet. Everyone got their money back. It takes time to unwind multi billion pound balance sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course in the case of KSF a action group that still had a hell of a time to get their money back which otherwise would probably never have happened.

It shouldn't have needed to be delayed. The government should have paid up and reclaimed from the Bent Bank that your FSA had underwritten.

I was told seven years after I had an accident as your body cells are completely changed in that period, in effect you are a different person. I believe that this is the delay in making the final payouts in major injury claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the ACU have been trying to delay things on the grounds you suggest - that time is needed to determine how serious and long-lasting any injuries are. I think the other case had a similar time-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
