Part 1: Whiplash Chapter 3: Settlement of whiplash claims Section 9: Interpretation
This section lists both the regulators who are required to monitor and enforce the ban on settling whiplash claims without medical evidence (including the General Council of the Bar, the Law Society and the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives) and those legal service providers to whom the ban would apply (‘regulated persons", namely barristers, legal executives, solicitors and alternative business structures). By virtue of provision in the final and penultimate entries in the table in this section, the Lord Chancellor has the power by regulation (subject to the negative procedure for statutory instruments) to extend to other regulators and regulated persons both the ban and the duty to monitor and enforce it through secondary legislation.
