Scheme Overview
Temple can offer delegated authority schemes that allows a firm to issue certificates of insurance to their clients directly without referral to us.
Once a policy has been issued, the scheme provides full delegation in respect of the case management, which gives the firm freedom to run cases to trial without having to obtain our consent at any stage, such as when you wish to issue proceedings or reject offers of settlement.
We do not insist on written updates at various stages throughout the life of a policy as all updates are provided by way of a simple set of ‘status codes’ sent through on a monthly bordereaux.
What are the benefits of the scheme?
To you: |
To clients: |
|
|
- Benefit from an increased financial income by adopting a CFA and success fee
|
- A combination of a CFA and ATE insurance ensures that your clients can pursue litigation without fear of having to pay any adverse costs orders
|
- Protect yourselves against professional negligence claims by meeting your obligation under the Solicitors Code of Conduct by discussing their insurance options
|
- The premium is deferred until the conclusion of the legal action. If the case is won then the premium is recovered from the opponent
|
- Have a strong offering to attract clients who would otherwise be wary of pursuing litigation
|
- The premium is self-insured so your client will not have to pay the premium if the case is unsuccessful
|
- Impress clients and build loyalty by protecting them against any adverse costs orders
