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

In this edition I provide an update on the new 500-page limit and highlight the key points practitioners should understand about the new rule. This rule is anticipated to commence in late 2024 or early 2025, so I encourage you to start planning and review the resources available on the Commission’s website.

Last week a Bill passed both Houses of Parliament to create a new Police Officer Support Scheme to replace the existing Police Blue Ribbon Insurance Scheme. I can advise that the new scheme commences tomorrow, 1 October 2024, and the Commission will have responsibility for resolving disputes under the new scheme.

I also outline the Commission’s end-of-year shutdown arrangements, including important dates to note. While the Commission’s operations will completely close during this period, the Pathway portal remains available.

Finally, I would like to remind practitioners that expressions of interest are closing soon for our mediator cohort.

Regards,

Judge Gerard Phillips
President
