No, but we have the newly established Court of Appeal, and it has proved to be very successful in overturning the size of awards given by either the lower courts or the High Court. That has been an important mechanism for arriving at more consistent and fairer awards from the public perspective. The Personal Injuries Assessment Board will continue to work with the Court of Appeal judges and the Judiciary with regard to future iterations of the book of quantum, ensuring there will be more buy-in from the Judiciary in what we are trying to achieve with our cost of insurance working group.
