In cases where there are two or more potential respondents, the PIAB process permits one of the respondents to allow the case proceed to assessment without prejudicing any of the respondents in any subsequent proceedings to seek an indemnity or contribution from other parties. A respondent's agreement to a claimant's submission for PIAB assessment will not constitute an admission of liability, nor will it be used in any other manner to prejudice legal arguments in subsequent court proceedings. The PIAB will have discretion not to proceed with a case which is more appropriate to the courts, for example, new medical conditions upon which there would not be sufficient legal precedent, or if it is of a particularly complex nature.
