Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Section 44 allows that, in certain situations, the board may direct that where a claimant incurs an expense, this will be borne by the respondent. An example might be where a complicated medical condition follows an accident and updated medical or other experts' reports are required to reflect the full extent of the claimant's claim in terms of medical prognosis or the extent of financial losses. In such a case, the PIAB will direct that such expenses are necessarily incurred and are to be paid by the respondent.
