ASX Announcement Slater and Gordon Limited. ABN 93 097 297 400 26 November 2015 UK Government Proposals The UK Government has overnight announced proposals, which if implemented, would impact on the rights of people injured in road traffic accidents. Slater and Gordon Limited (“the Company”) does not expect there to be any impact on its FY16 performance, or the guidance recently confirmed at the Company’s AGM, arising from the Government’s announcement. Whilst very limited detail has been released pending a foreshadowed consultation process, the Government’s proposal if implemented would restrict the right of people injured in road traffic accidents to obtain compensation for pain and suffering in minor soft tissue injury claims, whilst preserving the right to claim compensation for other loss. In addition the Government has proposed to increase the limit of the Small Claims Court from £1,000 to £5,000. The Ministry of Justice intends to consult on the details of the Government proposal in the new year and the Company will participate in the foreshadowed consultation process and provide further information on the impact (if any) on its financial performance in FY17 and beyond. Whilst the Government’s announcement was unexpected, the Company believes that the scale and diversity of the Slater Gordon Solutions business in the UK positions it well to deal with the potential impact of any future legislative change.
