Various amendments for compensation indexation have been applied to the By Lawyers Injuries publications in New South Wales.
Each year on 1 October the various statutory compensation schemes and legislative caps have indexation applied to the maximum amounts recoverable by injured persons. For 2022 these changes are contained in the following pieces of subordinate legislation:
- Civil Liability (Non-economic Loss) Amendment Order 2022
- Motor Accident Injuries (Indexation) Amendment Order (No 2) 2022
- Motor Accidents (Determination of Non-Economic Loss) Amendment Order 2022
- Motor Accidents Compensation (Determination of Loss) Order 2022
- Workers Compensation (Indexation) Amendment Order (No 3) 2022
Wherever applicable, the commentary and precedents – particularly the Retainer instructions precedents – have been updated for these changes in the following By Lawyers publications:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents (NSW) – Accidents prior to 1 December 2017
- Motor Vehicle Accidents (NSW) – Accidents from 1 December 2017
- Personal Injury (NSW) – Acting for the plaintiff
- Personal Injury (NSW) – Acting for the defendant
- Workers Compensation (NSW)
By Lawyers always update our publications for statutory indexing. This typically occurs in most jurisdictions on 1 January, 1 July, and, as in the case of NSW injuries legislation, 1 October each year.
