Board behaved ’inexcusably’ by failing to issue authorisation for legal actions by five minors, court told

. It is alleged he suffered psychological injuries while a restrained rear seat passenger in a vehicle involved in a collision on September 10th, 2017 and suffered shock, bedwetting, anxiety, emotional upset and nightmares after the accident.

An application for assessment of damages was filed with PIAB on March 24th, 2021 and his solicitors wrote to the Board about April 14th last, asking it to issue an authorisation. The board responded on April 20th indicating, as the new guidelines were effective from April 24th, and would include ranges of damages for psychiatric injuries, the Board would itself assess the psychological claim and would not issue an authorisation for proceedings as sought.

The solicitors wrote again to the Board on April 20th and April 22nd and initiated the judicial review proceedings after failing to get the authorisation.
