Why would the insurance company agree to that? The cost will now ultimately end up as a hike to motor premiums.
What about the other sides’ legal costs?

Underrated factor in why English-speaking countries have especially bad housing crises is their common law systems (adversarial and litigious) vs judge-led civil law systems elsewhere.
Makes Anglo planning/permitting systems especially vulnerable to NIMBYs and other objections.

This is not sustainable for Ireland's motorists, community centres, sports clubs, arts organisations or SMEs.

"Insurers reported profits of 13% in 2023 alone – more than double international norms."
Every business has to make a profit. But at this stage, insurers' relentless pursuit of maximum profit in Ireland is undermining society.

Insurers calling for reduced legal costs.
They might be right about this but all the other reforms have gone into their profits and not to liability policyholders like your local business, sports group or charity.
This needs to change.

Are the law and its interpretation as they currently stand there to protect our citizens or enrich a section of the legal profession?

Retailers, in particular, are being hit hard. Did you know that asking a customer at an off-licence for ID can be framed as a defamatory statement? Or quietly refusing to accept a €50 that failed a counterfeit check? All have resulted in legal actions.

According to the brokers representative body, "commission-based models are.... aligned with the interests of consumers".
That's like arguing black is white.
14% of a €1,000 premium is twice as much as 14% of a €500 premium. So which will a broker prefer?

“Tackling legal costs, and forcing insurers to be more transparent about their pricing, are two tasks that could be taken up by the new government that would benefit consumers in terms of lowering premiums.”

Given that Irish courts are already attracting foreign litigants for awards at multiples of those paid elsewhere, is it time we put the legislative foot down on awards?
