The Personal Injuries Guidelines are drawn up by the Judicial Council which is independent in its functions.

The Judicial Council has conducted a review of the Guidelines and submitted draft amendments of the Guidelines to me in accordance with section 7 of the Judicial Council Act 2019. As required by the Act I will shortly be laying the draft amendments before the Houses after which a resolution proposing the draft amendments can be considered by the Houses.
