2014 will mark the 10th anniversary of the coming into operation of the
Personal Injuries Assessment Board in Ireland; the Board quantifies damages in
most classes of personal injury case where liability is not in dispute. 2014 is
also the 10th anniversary of the enactment of the Civil Liability and Courts
Act 2004, which introduced a variety of procedural reforms to the tort process.
These reforms were introduced to deal with a variety of perceived problems in
the tort system.
To
mark the anniversary, the International Commercial and Economic Law Research
Group at the School of Law, University of Limerick is hosting a conference on
comparative compensation culture and tort reform at the end of May 2014
(provisionally on 23 and 24 May). It will seek to bring together a variety of
perspectives from academics and practitioners in law, insurance and the
administration of compensation schemes. In particular, it seeks to focus on the
position in Ireland, England & Wales and Australia, though other jurisdictions
may be included if there is sufficient interest expressed.
Anyone
interested in offering a paper on any aspect of this theme should submit an
outline to eoin.quill@ul.ie by Friday 4
October 2013.
