Susanne Tanner QC appointed as arbitrator in cases involving untraced and uninsured drivers
Susanne Tanner QC of Ampersand Advocates has been appointed by the Lord President as an arbitrator for Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) cases where the driver at fault cannot be traced or is uninsured.
She will be involved in cases being held under the Untraced Drivers’ Agreement and the Uninsured Drivers’ Agreement between the Secretary of State for Transport and the MIB.
A claimant disputing a decision by the MIB on whether to make an award, or the amount of compensation, or any other dispute between MIB and the applicant arising out of a decision, determination or requirement made by MIB, or the approval of claims from minors and protected parties, can have the matter referred to arbitration.
Ms Tanner said: “I am very pleased to have been appointed to the MIB arbitration panel, as I continue to expand my alternative dispute resolution work as both an arbitrator and mediator, alongside my practice at the Bar.”
