Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book takes a fresh look at potential non-litigation solutions to providing personal injury compensation. It is the first systematic comparative study of such a large number – over forty – of personal injury compensation schemes. It covers the drivers for their creation, the frameworks under which they operate, the criteria and thresholds used, the compensation offered, the claims process, statistics on throughput and costs, and analysis of financial costings. It also considers and compares the successes and failings of these schemes. Many different types of redress providers are studied. These include the comprehensive no-blame coverage offered by the New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation; the widely used Patient, Pharmaceutical, Motor Accident and Workers Compensation Insurance systems of the Nordic states; the far smaller issue-focused schemes like the UK Thalidomide and vCJD Trusts; vaccine damage schemes that exist in many countries; as well as motor vehicle schemes from the USA. Conclusions are drawn about the functions, essential requirements, architecture, scope, operation and performance of personal injury compensation systems. The relationships between such schemes, the courts and regulators are also discussed, and both calls and need for reforms are noted. Noting the wide calls for reform of NHS medical negligence litigation within the UK, and its replacement with a no blame approach, the authors' findings outline options for future policy in this area. This major contribution builds on general shifts from courts to ADR, and from blame to no blame in regulation, and is a work that has the potential to have a major impact on the field of personal injury redress. With contributions by Raymond Byrne, Claire Bright, Shuna Mason, Magdalena Tulibacka, Matti Urho, Mary Walker and Herbert Woopen.

Book excerpt: In October 1972 the New Zealand Parliament passed the Accident Compensation Act 1972 which establishes the most comprehensive accident compensation scheme ever enacted in the common law world and deals a mortal blow to the traditional tort system of compensating the victims of accidental injury. The stunning thing about the New Zealand experiment turns out to be that the common law has something to teach social insurance, rather than the other way around. Despite the legislation being intended to replace and improve upon the deficiencies of common law and worker's compensation, it is apparent that the principles upon which the legislation is based threaten to swallow up the entire balance of New Zealand's comprehensive social welfare system. The shape of the new accident legislation has been profoundly influenced by aspects of the common law of damages, especially damages for economic loss and dignitary harm. The policy makers have tried hard to keep the accident system separate from the social welfare system, but drawing boundaries between the two has proved to be very difficult. The idea of tailoring compensation payments to earnings up to a level which represents a large amount of the actual loss suffered by most people who are injured, coupled with a response to intangible losses, adds a richness of calibrated response to the compensating of losses that is altogether absent from flat rate schemes. Should this approach to compensating all losses come to pass in New Zealand it will be the legacy of the common law. In that sense this article is a respectful obituary to the common law as a method of compensating personal injury. New Zealand's society is based upon strong threads of egalitarianism, pragmatism, state enterprise, humanitarianism and a comprehensive welfare state. This paper considers the changes made to New Zealand social welfare benefits following an extensive review by a Royal Commission. The Commissioners found that the system was sound in principle, and the amendments they recommended were not of a fundamental kind. The Commission also rejected a move toward earnings-related benefits, pointing out that the aims of the welfare scheme and accident compensation scheme are not the same. The aim of the accident compensation scheme was to maintain the standard of living enjoyed by the accident victim while the welfare system aimed to ensure that all members of the community have income sufficient to reach an adequate living standard. Nevertheless, earnings-related compensation for periods of incapacity caused by illness was recommended as an addition to the scheme for accident compensation. The paper then turns to discussion of the accident compensation legal framework in New Zealand under common law and the damages available, and considers what the new legislation provides. It then turns to the process of reform, covering the process from the initial Royal Commission on Personal Injury to the introduction of accident compensation legislation into Parliament. As the most ambitious reform of tort law implemented in the common law world, the scheme will be worth watching. The question of first importance will be how far the accident compensation scheme becomes absorbed into the welfare system and what effect its pattern of compensation will have on that system.
