Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Michael Horan:

The other point is that PIAB only deals with cases where liability is not at issue. A lot of cases would involve disputes on liability and there would be complexity involved in the case and maybe high value involved in the case as well. PIAB only deals with the cases where there is no issue on liability and we are just talking about quantum. That takes a lot of the complexity out of the debate.
