I have raised this issue because there is an inconsistency in the legislation compared with similar types of legislation. The Personal Injuries Assessment Board adds on six months so that people do not end up outside the Statute of Limitations. It is done with good reason. If somebody misses a notification, they could accidentally end up outside the time period. It is good practice to add on six months, and that has been validated and put through in other legislation in the past. I ask that this legislation would reflect that as well, as per the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act.
