- John
Melville Williams QC was not able to attend
|
- Sir
Robert Owen reported on the meeting with David Body and others
on 21st June.
|
- It
was resolved that the ceiling for stage 2 would be increased from
8-12 hours per day. The cases considered to date will be revisited
in the light of this rise.
|
- Charles
Russell should send their recommendations to Irwin Mitchell before
they are submitted to the Trustees.
|
- In
making their recommendations to the Trustees, Charles Russell
would usually rely on the hours claimed in the original schedule
(subject to the ceilings), where there was a discrepancy in the
documents, as these were the schedules that were approved first
by Irwin Mitchell's clients and in most cases supported by statements.
|
-
The Trustees required the Secretariat to request information from
Irwin Mitchell about the likely value of the claims being left
blank in the applications.
|
- The
fact that non-cohabiting partners are outside the compensation
scheme was discussed. Further advice will be provided about whether
the Trust Deed can be amended to allow payments to be made to
non-cohabiting partners who have provided care. It is unclear
whether the scope of the beneficiaries can be amended. Charles
Russell would speak to David Body, explain the situation, and
invite his proposals.
|
- 6
claims were considered and decided, as far as it was possible
to do so.
|
- The
summaries of diagnoses of psychiatric injury were considered and
thought to be very helpful.
