An update on Wilkinson v Churchill

Wilkinson v Churchill and Cockayne v Evans, European Court of Justice, 7 July 2011

The Advocate General yesterday handed down his opinion in the conjoined cases of Wilkinson v Churchill and Cockayne v Evans, which had been referred to the European Court of Justice from the Court of Appeal.  The Advocate General has taken the view that the insurers cannot recover from an insured on the facts of these cases where the insured is the victim, as EU law does not allow victims to be denied compensation even if the insured gave permission for an uninsured person to drive.
