Motor Accident Injuries Act 2019

The MAI commission must make guidelines (the SOI assessment guidelines) for SOI assessments.

The SOI assessment guidelines may—

state procedures and principles to be followed in making an SOI assessment; and

apply, adopt or incorporate a law of another jurisdiction or instrument as in force from time to time.

Note A reference to an instrument includes a reference to a provision of an instrument (see Legislation Act, s 14 (2)).

The Legislation Act, section 47 (6) does not apply in relation to a law or instrument applied, adopted or incorporated under subsection (2) (b).

Note A law or instrument applied, adopted or incorporated under s (2) (b) does not need to be notified under the Legislation Act because s 47 (6) does not apply (see Legislation Act, s 47 (7)).

The SOI assessment guidelines are a disallowable instrument.
