A group of amendments relate to this section and aim to clarify the rights of third parties to claim against an insurer and amendment No. 58, a consequential amendment, inserts a new section 19, which relates to supplemental provisions of section 18.

Amendment No. 52 replaces "which the person may incur to a third party, and where" with "that may be incurred by the person to a third party (and such a liability is incurred) then, where either of the following applies".

Amendment No. 53 is technical.

If we use the term "court of competent jurisdiction", it would beg the question what court is competent in the context of this new statutory jurisdiction.
