Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The Personal Injuries Assessment Board will endeavour to deal with assessments within specific time limits, unlike the current litigation system where no such target dates are set for completion of cases. This will give genuine claimants a speedier settlement. A respondent's agreement to a claimant's submission for assessment by the Personal Injuries Assessment Board will not constitute an admission of liability, nor can it be used in any other manner to prejudice legal arguments in subsequent court proceedings.
