Welcome to the Malcolm Johnson & Co. MIB Caselaw Library

Malcolm Johnson, the principal of this firm began his legal career specialising in road traffic accidents claims. He went on to write a number of articles in this field, before being asked by Central Law Training to lecture on the subject of claims against the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. He now gives lectures to law firms across England and Wales on this subject. He has also contributed to “Claims against the Motor Insurers’ Bureau” published by the Law Society.

MIB claims do cause difficulty for practitioners. The MIB is not like a normal insurance company and the provisions of the 1999 and 2003 Agreements can cause problems. Over the years, the courts have dealt with claims against the MIB and made judgments that have, to some extent, clarified the law in this area. The MIB Caselaw Database aims to provide busy practitioners with a series of signposts to the relevant cases and an overview of what the court is saying in each case.

If you wish to know more about training courses provided by Central Law Training on Claims against the MIB, click here or click the CLT logo. The CLT website will open in a new window.

Some of the cases in this Caselaw Library do not involve the Motor Insurers' Bureau, but they relate instead to issues of road traffic and motor insurance. These cases have been included because they relate to issues that impact on cases involving the Bureau, such as "knowledge of no insurance."

There is no charge for using the Database, which is constantly being updated with new cases. Malcolm Johnson & Co. invites comments and suggestions from users, who should go to the front page of our website and click on the box marked “Contact Us”.

The following disclaimer and prohibition sets out the limits of the database and the purposes for which it can be used.

MIB Claims are also governed to some extent by road traffic legislation, which can be found on www.opsi.gov.uk the government website for legislation.
