This is the first of a special two-part mini-series of Stewarts Soundbites, aimed at those acting on behalf of seriously injured clients as a Financial Deputy.
In this first instalment, Emma Lyons spoke to Mark Holt, Chief Operating Officer of Frenkel Topping, about periodical payment orders (PPOs) versus lump sum settlements in catastrophic injury cases. Mark and Emma discussed whether there is a growing trend away from PPOs towards lump sums in recent years and Mark explained the possible reasons behind the current trends.
Mark discussed the management of compensation after settlement of a high-value injury case. He explained the appropriateness of active versus passive management of funds and will explore whether there is a happy middle ground in combining the two.
