Mr. Peter Boland:

We are very enthusiastic about this legislation for two reasons. First, the mediation allows this kind of data to be explained to plaintiffs so they are not just getting their information from one side of the argument. Second, there is an allowance in the draft legislation for PIAB to be able to promote itself more publicly and more effectively, and we would be very much in favour of that. If it was just down to numbers, PIAB would handle and settle every claim.
