- Elite Incident Management believes the Copley ruling is a good result for insurers.
The Insurance Times ran with the headline ‘Credit Hire Association hails ruling as "big win" for
CHOs’. To the contrary, Jon Crawley, Claims Manager at Elite believes the Helphire’s victory
is a hollow one. “The argument of mitigation is still very much alive and in fact it has now just
become much easier for the insurer to present”, he says.
Although not surprised by the ruling, Crawley does believe the entirely reasonable settlement
here was to pay the CHO at the rates that KGM would have achieved under their intervention
programme.

- Click to expand / retract story brief
- Elite Incident Management has today announced that Repairers within the Elite Repair

must have BSi PAS125 accreditation by the end of 2009 and Elite has worked closely with
BSi to fully support Repairers through the process.
Clive Rolfe, Accident Management Director at Elite Incident Management says: “At Elite,
we are completely focussed on quality of repair and firmly support BSi PAS125. We
believe BSI PAS125 is a means of demonstrating quality and we are delighted that the
majority of the 130 Repairers within our Network have achieved, or are currently working
towards achieving accreditation. However, those repairers who have decided not to apply
will now be replaced with BSi PAS125 accredited Repairers.”
