eValuate

A new way of settling lower value cases

CEDR Solve's PIU eValuate is a concept based on early neutral evaluation – an independent experienced evaluator considers the submissions of the parties and assesses the likely outcome.  With that expert insight based on a 360° view of the evidence and issues the parties are assisted in moving to settlement.  The parties can even agree beforehand that this evaluation be binding.

eValuate is unique in that all evaluators have expertise as District Judges with the same mindset, training and experience as the ultimate arbiter of the dispute. eValuation aims to replicate as closely as possible the thinking of the County Courtroom with a more accurate prediction of the outcome than can be achieved by other other methods of evaluation.

eValuation has been designed to be simple, quick and cost effective. Once an issue becomes irresolvable between the parties thus blocking the way to settlement the eValuation path becomes available.  The parties submit written submissions of their case to an evaluator who delivers an evaluation within 10 working days.  The written submissions are informal so there is no need for specialist drafting.

eValuation is designed for cases up to £50,000 in value. With fees starting from as little as £195 eValuate is an affordable, quick, and reliable way to achieve the fair and speedy settlements that both claimants and defendants want.

Michael Tennant, former Chair of District Judges Association:
"Costs incurred in modest value personal injury litigation are often wholly disproportionate. In its PIU range of products CEDR has now produced a number of useful tools to assist resolution of these claims."
