Finance Bill 2003 [ Certified Money Bill ] : Second Stage.

 

It is an untenable situation but one that could be addressed in one fell swoop by a simple piece of legislation. This has not been done. I welcome the establishment of a State claims agency but that is only a trivial rectification of a situation that is totally out of control. It is well-known that the courts process hundreds of fraudulent claims, which are corroborated and assisted by the manner in which the legal profession and, to an extent, the medical profession operate. The courts should not have to deal with insurance claims; they should deal exclusively with criminal matters.
