Key points 

  • The MRCA requires the claimant (veteran or dependant) to advise the Department of a common law claim against the Commonwealth not later than 7 days after the claim is lodged,  

  • The MRCA requires this to be done in writing, 

  • A failure to notify in writing is an offence. 

 

Note: where delegates require additional support about notifications of common law actions, they should seek assistance via the Delegate Support Framework.
