Alliance for Insurance Reform: Tackling 'paracetamol injuries' is good for policyholders

The director of the Alliance for Insurance Reform, Peter Boland, has welcomed a new report from the Law Reform Commission about legislation that would put a cap on personal injury insurance claims.

The guidelines being prepared by the Judicial Council will eventually replace the Book of Quantum, which is produced by the Personal Injuries Assessment Board, and to which judges currently have to have regard when deciding on general damages.
