What are the eight principles in credit hire cases?
The eight principles were set out by the Court of Appeal to guide credit hire disputes. They cover the claimant's duty to mitigate, the recoverability of credit hire rates, the approach to impecuniosity, and critically, that the defendant must prove the Basic Hire Rate through direct evidence rather than assumption.
How does LegalDocs Assist work?
LegalDocs Assist is a purpose-built AI platform for claimant law firms and credit hire teams. You paste in TPI correspondence, accident details, or financial documents, and the platform analyses them against a curated knowledge base of 210 UK authorities across five practice areas. It assembles first-person witness statement drafts from the witness’s own account, drafts structured responses, and offers strategic advice — all with verifiable citations, all for your fee-earner to verify.
