Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

1:45 pm

Derek McDowell (Labour)

The Minister is right in that there are few assessment reports from the type of people to whom we referred. The reason is that one might be faced with having to bring such a person to court where he or she would be given short shrift. When the threat of being exposed in open court is not there, it is perhaps more likely that people would chance their arm by putting in reports from people who do not have the qualifications we might wish.
