Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002

Subsection (2) applies if a proceeding for damages based on a liability for personal injury is before the court and the plaintiff or defendant in the proceeding has elected a trial by jury under the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999.

Section 58 has effect despite the election unless the trial date has been set before the commencement of this section.

Section 58 does not apply to a proceeding if the proceeding was tried by a jury and, on the hearing of an appeal, the court hearing the appeal set aside the decision and ordered a new trial.
