I upset someone at the LSC recently for publicly suggesting they were operating a blanket policy. (Actually I did no such thing but that’s what happens when you rely upon heresy, and worse still give a damn about what I say in public).
Now I am not alleging a blanket policy here.
Back in September a client firm claimed enhancement on a CDS 7 – Non Standard Fee.
It got summarily rejected without any reference to the detailed Special Feature Notice the firm had taken time to prepare.
We requested “written reasons” as per CRIMLA 12 and were told just to appeal.
We appealed.
Last week – the same, I think they even cut-and-pasted the refusal paragraph. We repeated our CRIMLA 12 reps. and were told just to appeal.
Now I am not alleging a blanket policy here but the LSC letter contains this line
“we will refer the matter to an ICA to consider in most uplift matters” (emphasis added)
Now I am not alleging a blanket policy here because “most” does not mean “all” does it?
