PIC News No. 65

22 May 2024

Keep up to date with the latest news edition issued by the Personal Injury Commission

In this edition, find out what you need to know ahead of the launch of Pathway for workers compensation. This tremendous achievement is just 12 more working days away and will close out one of our key priorities since the Commission was established: bringing both motor accidents and workers compensation users together on a single platform. All motor accidents and workers compensation users need to be aware of upcoming platform outages to enable the launch.

The Commission has published changes to Procedural Directions PIC 3 and PIC 12 which will support the new 500-page limit rule, to commence in late 2024 or early 2025.

Motor accidents users are reminded about the requirements of Procedural Direction PIC 6 to ensure sufficient evidence is submitted for permanent impairment disputes under the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017.

Finally, I draw your attention to an important decision of the NSW Court of Appeal earlier this year that clearly defines the meaning of a medical dispute under the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017.

Regards,

Judge Gerard Phillips
President
