In contrast to the current adversarial system of personal injury litigation, the approach adopted by assessors in the PIAB will be inquisitorial. This means getting to the facts of the extent of the allowable claim and ensuring that the claimant gets that to which they are entitled – no more and no less. This approach will be of assistance to claimants on many issues where they might currently seek legal advice even in "assessment only" cases which do not involve legal disputes.
