Request for access to the conformity 91507300 of the Postbus HZ Apeldoorn The Minister for Legal Protection is always proud of his efforts to radically reform legal aid. In December, he pledged €10 million for new experiments. In his press release, he invited lawyers and insurers, among others, to come forward. “Step by step, we can then move towards better legal assistance.” NRC investigated several documents concerning LegalGuard after invoking the Freedom of Information Act. According to the newspaper, this shows that the number of cases planned for the LegalGuard pilot project has been deliberately reduced, so that the Legal Aid Board, which manages the pilot, would find itself under a mandatory tender. The Council wanted to prevent other insurers from having a chance to carry out the pilot project: the cooperation partner was to and would become Achmea, according to the reconstruction of the NRC.
About the site: Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens Tip us. The pilot project on Legal Guard – a sub-label of Achmea – started in March 2019 and will last for one year. The aim is to have 750 relatively simple consumer cases handled by Achmea lawyers rather than lawyers. However, by the end of 2019, only thirteen cases had been referred to LegalGuard, according to an interim evaluation of several pilot projects as part of the review of the legal aid system. If you do not have a current case or if you are no longer an Achmea customer, you can request it by e-mail or by post. Would you like to add a copy of your identity card, such as a passport or driver`s license? Do you want to make your photo and your citizen service number (BSN) illegible? We do not need your photo and BSN number. We will respond within one month of receiving your request. In a debate at the end of last year, Minister Dekker said, without giving figures, that citizens could hardly be tempted to participate in the pilot project.
He didn`t want to talk about failure. “I think it`s important that these people feel that they`ve been well helped.” At LegalGuard, you know in advance what you`re paying for our work 9.

The RVR and the Ministry have been working for some time on the renewal of legal aid. But what works? To find out, pilot projects are being launched. For the most controversial project — the transfer of legal aid from independent lawyers to industry — only one party is eligible, according to internal documents: Achmea. Legal aid entitles more than six million low-income Dutch people to financial assistance in the event of a legal dispute. If you have a legal problem, you can request a lawyer via the RvR. The use of subsidized legal aid has increased by 40 per cent since the beginning of the millennium. The government now considers that the costs of more than 400 million euros per year are too high. What for? When questioned, the RvR states that the contacts with Achmea emerged from an earlier process designed to facilitate the resolution of disputes between tenants and housing associations. As a legal protection insurer, Achmea has experience with a “standardized way of working” and RvR was “interested” in this. The Council does not indicate that the legal protection insurers DAS and Univé cooperated in the same test and therefore have already had contacts. Many lawyers were already criticizing LegalGuard early last year, especially after Minister Dekker for Legal Protection appeared in a promotional video about a working visit to Achmea. The video prompted parliamentary questions from MEPs Van Nispen (SP) and Kuiken (PvdA): “Why are you advertising a trading company that sells legal expenses insurance?” The minister denied that.
What he doesn`t mention is that behind the scenes it has already been agreed that Achmea will play in a revolutionary experiment for which Dekker is responsible. As of March 1, 2019, hundreds of people in need of legal assistance will be referred to Achmea instead of a lawyer for one year. This “consumer pilot project” was developed by the Legal Aid Board (RvR), which regulates subsidised legal aid in the Netherlands in the name of justice and security. The Department is closely involved in the pilot project. Afternoon#rechtbankmiddennederland #utrecht #jurist How much Achmea earns with the driver also remains a secret. For every person seeking justice, she receives 626 to 929 euros. In addition, there is an unknown amount for project costs. The government wants commercial insurers to implement some of the social legal aid that lawyers currently provide. The insurer Achmea was favoured in the first study.
The restriction on tendering has also been avoided. 10. Can I see what data LegalGuard processes about me? You can see what personal data LegalGuard uses. If you wish, we will send you this information. Achmea tells RvR that many “consumer disputes can be resolved without a lawyer,” according to the project plan. The insurer expects “a significant drop,” but the number of cases that can be handled without a lawyer is painted black in the WOB documents. This would be confidential information. The consumer pilot project, conducted by Legal Guard, a subsidiary of Achmea, on behalf of the Legal Aid Board, is doomed to fiasco. Since March 1, 2019, only 14 cases have been received, according to Legal Guard`s responses to questions from Mr.
RvR`s editors, the ministry and Achmea are working closely together. The answers to parliamentary questions about Dekker`s visit to the insurer show how close they are. After consulting with senior Karreman, Achmea provides a Word document with entries — “a few scribbles,” according to an Achmea employee — to answer critical questions. 4. What data does LegalGuard process? LegalGuard processes all the information you need to legally assist you in a legal aid case. Sometimes we ask you for data that LegalGuard does not require from you, but that other parties need before cooperating. For example, a copy of a valid proof of identity to request medical data. 8.
How long does LegalGuard keep my data? We keep your data for as long as we need it. Or as long as the law requires. We will then delete your data. LegalGuard offers you legal assistance. We only provide Achmea with general information about your request for legal assistance, i.e. that you have placed an order with LegalGuard and in which jurisdiction your case falls. It depends on your provider, the registration form and whether you are calling mobile. 088 numbers may be outside your calling packet. Please check your provider`s website. LegalGuard does not charge you any additional fees. Clients rate our lawyers with an 8.4 and an NPS of +46 Attention entrepreneurs!
