I will respond to those points. We wrote to the committee last February. The media have done a good job highlighting cases that needed to be highlighted, but I must warn that I have a concern. The vast majority of claims are legitimate, where people's lives have been impacted by the carelessness, recklessness or negligence of somebody else.

They are entitled to damages. Not all cases are fraudulent or exaggerated.
