The Chairman put it perfectly well. This is about providing as much information and detail as possible to help them make an informed decision on what the payout should be. If we look to page 100 in the report, it gives the terms of reference for the personal injuries commission and exactly what it will examine. It is about giving them that level of detail and not just detail on what the award level is in another jurisdiction but how it is arrived at and about introducing this idea of a 100% award for the most extreme disability cases and working our way down so that awards are not given in a vacuum but bear a relationship with the injury.
