Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
1:45 pm
Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
If I understand the legislation correctly, the amendment is not relevant. If the board is deciding according to a quantum book of damages, which is related to the medical evidence, attempts between solicitors to settle on a sum are not relevant. The board is conducting an objective exercise. I do not see how legal correspondence could influence the board if it is simply applying a book of quantum.
