5.9 Deferrals

The practice of deferring PI claims has no legislative basis and was therefore removed from this policy guide.

Delegates should aim to determine PI under section 68 or section 71 where possible.  In circumstances where this is not possible, delegates should be looking for opportunity to pay PI under section 75 as an interim claim.  Where an interim claim is not possible the PI claim should be rejected providing the client with access to their review rights.
