Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

This section applies if—

a claimant gives notice of the claimant’s claim for damages that does not comply with section 275(7A); and

either—

the insurer waives compliance with the requirements for giving a complying notice of claim under section 278(2)(b) or (3); or

the notice of claim is taken to be a complying notice of claim under section 278(4).

If the supervising principal of a law practice gave the claimant a law practice certificate for the claim under section 325H or 325I and the claimant has not given the certificate to the insurer, the principal must give a copy of the certificate to the insurer as soon as practicable.

Subsection (4) applies if—

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 325H or 325I; and

the claimant has not subsequently given the insurer 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 notice of claim is taken to be a complying notice of claim—

complete a law practice certificate for the claim; and

give the certificate to the insurer and a copy of the certificate to the claimant.
