Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The introduction of the Civil Liability and Courts Bill by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform will also assist in cutting down the number of claims as claimants will have to sign an affidavit as to the truthfulness of their claim on day one. This will ensure that genuine claimants are protected and that fraudulent claimants are found out and penalised heavily. Ms Dorothea Dowling is to be commended for her work to date with the interim board and for challenging the many vested interests in the insurance market.
