The Recovery of Costs Insurance Premiums in Clinical Negligence Proceedings (No. 2) Regulations 2013

Section 29 of the Access to Justice Act 1999 (c.22) provided for the recovery, by way of costs, of after the event insurance premiums from a losing party in civil proceedings. The effect of this provision was to enable the costs of any insurance policy, taken out by a party to insure against the risk of having to pay their opponent’s costs and their own disbursements if they lost their case, to be recovered from the losing party.
