9.1.3 Property under former Acts

Although S28 of the 1971 Act does not use the term 'property' it nevertheless relates to damage or loss to artificial limbs or other artificial substitutes, medical surgical or other similar aids or appliances in exactly the same terms as S15 of the SRCA. The provisions of S28 are in fact identical to those of the SRCA.

In contrast, the 1930 Act does not provide for compensation in relation to damage to 'property' i.e. prosthetic devices etc. Nor is it anticipated that RCG will receive any such claims.
