Schedule 1: Information and disclosure for third parties
49.It was arguable that the right to information under the 1930 Acts was restricted because it did not arise until the liability of the insured had been established. The Court of Appeal held in Re OT Computers Ltd (In Administration) [2004] EWCA Civ 653 that a third party may make a request for information under section 2 of the 1930 Acts before the insured’s liability has been established. The Act allows third parties to obtain information about the rights transferred to them in order to enable an informed decision to be taken on whether or not to commence or continue litigation.
