The Compensation Act 2006 received Royal Assent on July 25th. The Act will regulate claims management services and those providing services, which will include Personal Injury Investigators, who will have to seek authorisation to carry out services in this regulated sector.

There has been a consultation paper released concerning the application form for authorisation and a proposed scale of fees.

The consultation will be concluded on the 18th Sept 2006. The College will post any further updates concerning this issue later in the year.
