Discount rate to Change for fairer compensation
Posted Thursday 21st September 2017 08:37
The changes announced to the discount rate earlier this year (see article below 'New Rulings to Increase Value of Future Personal Injury Claims') are likely to be re-adjusted to between 0%-1%. Whilst this will still increase the value of compensation claims, the impact is likely to be less severe than first proposed. However further changes will not come into force until new laws are enacted and a date fixed by the Lord Chancellor, which is unlikely to be until 2018 at the earliest.

New Rulings to Increase Value of Future Personal Injury Claims
Posted Monday 27th February 2017 14:09
The Lord Chancellor Elizabeth Truss has announced new rulings to be employed in the calculation of settlement values for personal injury claims. The new calculations will have significant impact on Clinical Negligence and other claims particularly involving catastrophic injuries to younger people. In the light of the new rulings clients are advised to re-assess their current level of protection to ensure indemnity limits remain sufficiently adequate to deal with future claims.
Details of the Lord Chancellors rulings are available in an article published by Kennedys Law, which can be accessed here http://www.kennedyslaw.com/article/discount-rate-reduction-after-16-years/

REAL MARIGOLD HOTEL RE-VISITED
Posted Tuesday 25th October 2016 15:06
We had the privilege in October of staying at the Khatu Haveli featured in the BBC Series earlier this year “The Real Marigold Hotel”.The Haveli, a traditional town house, is situated in the very heart of the old Pink City of Jaipur.Although inspired by the programme we had no expectations from this our first visit to India, other than to experience life in the local community.Nothing however could have prepared us for stepping out from the peaceful oasis of the Haveli into the sheer wall of chaos occupying the narrow streets, as hoards of people frantically went about their business, mixing with scooters, tuk tuks, cows, pigs, all competing for the same space.We were transported into a world we had never before experienced.
Rajasthan however is a region of both extreme beauty and squalor that appear to live in complete harmony with each other.The region is also home to large numbers of street children, whose homelessness can lead to abuse through exploitation of child labour and prostitution.Many boys and girls as young as six years old sift through garbage in Jaipur to collect recyclable material, and can be seen alongside pigs and dogs searching through trash heaps on their hands and knees.Such children are also denied the educational training that could help them escape this poverty trap.It is impossible to ignore children in these circumstances and we spent a good deal of time of our time identifying how we could help some of these abandoned and neglected children....

What's in a name?
Posted Thursday 23rd June 2016 14:40
Our business name has historical links to pilots who flew in WWII. The 'Gray' in "Graybrook" is directly associated with Ross Foxwell Gray DFC, a Lancaster Bomber pilot with 106 Squadron based at Metheringham Lincolnshire, whose commanding officer was Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC, before he famously formed the Dambusters Squadron. After the war Ross formed a business partnership with John Brooksbank, supplying uniforms under the trading name of Graybrook. In 1972 a youthful insurance broker "inherited" the name from his early mentor and began trading as Graybrook Insurance Brokers. Although the business has seen many changes over the years, the ownership and business name remains unchanged.
