Wrongs Act 1958

A claimant may apply to a court for a determination of significant injury for the purposes of this Part.

The court may make a determination of significant injury in respect of a claimant if the court is satisfied that—

the claim should be dealt with urgently because of the imminent death of the claimant; and

the injury, if assessed under Division 3, would be significant injury.

The court may make a determination of significant injury in respect of a claimant if the court is satisfied that—

the claim relates to a cause of action that survives for the benefit of the estate of a deceased person under section 29(1) of the Administration and Probate Act 1958; and

the deceased person died from a cause other than the injury to which the claim relates; and

the injury to which the claim relates, if it had been assessed under Division 3, would be significant injury.
