New regulations unfair to motor accident victims

Fri Nov 24 2017
Law reform and public affairs

President Arthur Moses SC has issued a media release regarding regulations made under the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017, which will significantly reduce the rights of many innocent car crash victims. His comments were reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, which can be viewed here.

"Over the last eighteen months the legal profession has been closely involved in consultations with the Government on a workable model which could bring savings in greenslip prices while retaining the legal rights of the seriously injured. The passage of the Motor Accident Injuries Bill 2017 into law was the first result of these consultations. However, the Regulations which have come at the end of this process have a number of important defects which compromise the legal rights of many injured accident victims" Mr Moses said.
