Local Authority funding for Claimants with personal injury awards: lessons learned from judgment in R (CGT) v West Sussex County Council

In this episode of Soundbites we focus on a seminal High Court judgment handed down in February 2026: R (CGT) v West Sussex County Council. The decision considers whether a local authority may refuse Care Act 2014 social care funding, or seek to recover previously paid care costs, on the basis that an injured claimant has funds held in a personal injury trust. Our returning guest Rachel Burley Stower, who was instructed by CGT in the case, joins host Emma Lyons to reflect on the judgment and its wider implications. Drawing on her direct involvement in the proceedings, Rachel provides practical insight into what the ruling means for claimants, trustees, deputies and advisers supporting individuals with substantial personal injury awards. In the discussion Emma and Rachel explore: • The High Court’s reasoning and key findings in R (CGT) v West Sussex County Council • How personal injury trusts should be treated for Care Act funding assessments • Practical lessons for those supporting injured clients in securing and retaining local authority funding • The broader implications for future recovery actions by local authorities.

episode Managing stress during serious injury litigation artwork

Managing stress during serious injury litigation

In this episode of Stewarts Soundbites, Emma Lyons and Dan Herman, Head of Personal Injury at Stewarts, discuss stress experienced by claimants involved in the litigation process. The claimants we represent are already coming to terms with life changing injuries and often find themselves having to juggle the usual demands of family life, ongoing intensive rehabilitation across a number of disciplines, and an unfamiliar and potentially frightening litigation process. Of course, every individual’s circumstances are different, but managing these competing instances often leads to stress. This can make things difficult for the claimant, their family and all the professionals involved. Understanding the process and the pressure points of litigation can be crucial in providing successful support, which may ultimately have an impact upon engagement and outcomes. In this episode, Dan explores the likely stressors in the litigation process, flagging key stages which are bound to lead to higher levels of stress than others. He will offer practical advice for claimants, families and professionals in helping to successfully navigate such times. ---------------------------------------- This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm [https://wwww.zencast.fm]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
