Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002

This section applies despite section 9A(9), 27, 28 or 29 (a relevant section).

This section applies to the extent a relevant section requires a person (a relevant person) to give copies of documents or other things to someone else and the total number of pages of the copies exceeds 200 pages.

Within the time a relevant person would, apart from this section, be required to give copies of documents or other things to someone else under a relevant section, the relevant person need only offer the other person a reasonable opportunity to inspect the documents or other things.

If the other person, whether on inspection or otherwise, by written notice given to the relevant person, requires the relevant person to give the other person copies of some or all of the documents or other things, the relevant person must comply with the requirement in the time mentioned in subsection (5).

For subsection (4), the time is—

if the total number of pages does not exceed 200 pages—1 month after the requirement is made under the subsection; or

otherwise—1 month after payment by the other person of an amount of 50c for each page the total number of pages exceeds 200 pages.

If a relevant person does not act under subsection (3), the relevant section concerned continues to apply.
