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

This week, we begin the recruitment process for the position of Division Head (Police Officer Support Scheme). This senior executive role demands extensive legal knowledge and strong leadership skills, directly reporting to me.

Elsewhere in this edition, you will find an update on the progress of the amended rule 67, along with reminders on the proper submission of additional documents. Overall, I am pleased to see a high level of compliance with the new 500-page limit.

Importantly, the Supreme Court’s Practice Note and Guideline on the use of artificial intelligence commenced on Monday, along with associated amendments to the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules. By the end of March, I will issue amended rules and a new Procedural Direction regarding evidence used in cases before the Commission. All decision makers at the Commission have been fully briefed on these changes and are expected to adhere to them without exception.

Finally, the Psychiatry Medical Review Panel (MRP) Pilot is set to commence next month. The intention of this pilot is to reduce waiting times in the MRP lifecycle.

Stay tuned for further updates, exciting Commission developments and opportunities.

Regards,

Judge Gerard Phillips
President
