From the planned effective date, all relevant non-litigation cases which would currently require the issuing of legal proceedings, will be subject to mandatory referral to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board before they can proceed to adversarial litigation. If the respondent wishes to dispute legal issues or has reservations about the genuineness of the claim, the Personal Injuries Assessment Board will immediately issue an authorisation for the claimant to proceed to litigation if he or she wishes to pursue the matter further.
