The Hurdles of the SCT - A Complete Guide 2026

Ask a Question

Running PI RTA claims has never been more complex. With the introduction of two Portals and the continued relevance of the PI Protocol, practitioners must be fully equipped to navigate an increasingly technical landscape. Understanding the correct route for a claim — and the consequences of choosing the wrong one — is now essential for achieving efficient, compliant, and successful outcomes.

This 1-hour webinar provides PI professionals with a clear, practical guide to handling Small Claims Track (SCT) Portal cases. We will explore the SCT Portal processes in depth, highlight common pitfalls, and clarify the challenges faced when managing low-value RTA claims in today’s dual-portal environment.

A key focus of this session will be the long-awaited Supreme Court decisions on the valuation of multiple-injury claims. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the legal principles and how to apply them effectively within the SCT Portal, supported by practical examples and up-to-date guidance.

Whether you regularly handle SCT Portal matters or want to strengthen your understanding of the evolving RTA landscape, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the system with precision.

  • How to determine the correct portal for PI RTA claims
  • A step-by-step walkthrough of SCT Portal processes and requirements
  • Common errors that lead to delays or portal exits — and how to avoid them
  • The impact of recent Supreme Court rulings on valuing mixed-injury claims
  • Practical strategies for compliant, effective case handling in the SCT
