1. The MIB is not a substitute for an insurer — eligibility and exclusions matter

The MIB Uninsured Drivers’ Agreement provides an important route to compensation where a negligent driver is uninsured, but recovery is subject to the Agreement’s specific scope, exclusions and eligibility requirements. Practitioners should identify at an early stage who is entitled to claim, what losses are recoverable, and whether any exclusion—particularly in relation to property damage or the claimant’s relationship with the uninsured vehicle/driver—applies.

2. Proving “lack of insurance” is only part of the battle — the claimant’s knowledge can be decisive

A successful MIB claim requires careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding the absence of insurance and, importantly, the claimant’s knowledge or awareness. The evidential burden can be significant, so practitioners should investigate insurance status, the claimant’s relationship with the vehicle and driver, and the contemporaneous evidence at the outset. The developing case law demonstrates why seemingly straightforward uninsured-driver claims can turn on precise facts and evidence.

3. Recent case law and legislation have changed the landscape — practitioners need to stay current

Cases including Colley v MIB [2022] EWCA Civ 360, Ali v HSF Logistics Polska sp zoo [2024] EWCA Civ 1479, Berresford v Shah [2024] EWHC 3500 (KB), O’Brien v Ringway Hounslow Highways (2024) and Dormer v Wilson [2025] 3 WLUK 102 demonstrate the continuing evolution of the law surrounding compulsory insurance and MIB claims. The Motor Vehicles (Compulsory Insurance) Act 2022 must also be considered alongside the case law. For practitioners, the key message is to check the applicable MIB Agreement, identify the relevant statutory framework, and test the facts against the latest authorities before advising on prospects of recovery.
