Nominal defendant may engage consultants including claims manager
337 Nominal defendant may engage consultants including claims manager
The nominal defendant may engage consultants.
Without limiting subsection (1), the nominal defendant may engage an entity (a claims manager) to manage personal injuries in relation to which—
applications may be, or have been, made to the nominal defendant under chapter 2 (Motor accident injuries—defined benefits); or
claims may be, or have been, made against the nominal defendant fund under chapter 6 (Motor accident injuries insurance).
To remove any doubt, the nominal defendant may engage a claims manager who is a claims manager for another fund managed by the ACTIA.
Example an entity engaged as a claims manager for the default insurance fund under the Workers Compensation Act 1951
Note ACTIA—see the dictionary.
However, the nominal defendant must not engage an entity under subsection (2) unless satisfied that the entity has the experience and expertise necessary to exercise the functions of a claims manager.
The conditions of a consultant’s engagement are the conditions agreed between the nominal defendant and the consultant.
To remove any doubt, this section does not give the nominal defendant the power to enter into a contract of employment.
