This section applies if—

a claimant gives notice of the claimant’s claim that does not comply with section 9(2)(c)(i); and

the respondent to the claim—

waives compliance with the requirements under this division for giving notice of the claim; or

is presumed to be satisfied notice has been given as required under this division.

If the supervising principal of a law practice gave the claimant a law practice certificate for the claim under section 8C but the claimant has not given the certificate to the respondent, the supervising principal must, as soon as practicable, give a copy of the certificate to—

the respondent; and

if the respondent’s insurer has responded to part 1 of the claimant’s notice of claim—the respondent’s insurer.

the supervising principal of a law practice retained by the claimant in relation to the claimant’s claim did not give the claimant a law practice certificate for the claim under section 8C; and

the claimant has not subsequently given the respondent a law practice certificate for the claim from the supervising principal.

The supervising principal must, within 1 month after the claimant is notified of the waiver or the presumption takes effect—

complete a law practice certificate for the claim; and

give the certificate to the respondent and a copy of the certificate to—

the claimant; and

if the respondent’s insurer has responded to part 1 of the claimant’s notice of claim—the respondent’s insurer.
