Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
We are all in broad agreement as to the thrust of the PIAB and what it is trying to bring about, but there is an element of the insurer having it both ways that we must try to counteract. The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that if a case comes before the PIAB, the issue of liability will not be discussed in any subsequent hearings and that those hearings would deal only with the issue of the amount of damages to be awarded.
