Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)
11:00 am
Mr. Neil McDonnell:
As long as it is above the original award. Assessing how much the claimant actually gets of that is not possible at the moment. It is not visible. We have said there should be a fixed moral hazard built into the system which defines how much in excess the award would have to be. As there are no costs in the Injuries Board award, there should be a hurdle one is required to beat.
