Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform is preparing a civil liability and courts Bill, which includes a number of measures to tackle fraudulent and exaggerated claims within the court system. Among the other tasks which I have delegated to the PIAB is a cost benefit analysis of the current litigation system. While the interim board had hoped to progress that project, it was denied access to the relevant data without the statutory powers, which are provided for in the legislation.
