In regard to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board, PIAB, the committee makes the point that if some legal fees were allowed to be granted in those cases, it might actually encourage people to settle the case at that level rather than to go to court where it costs a great deal more. Given the success of that board, it is timely to consider strengthening it and including the payment of some fees at that level.
