  • The MRCA requires the claimant to advise the Department of a common law claim against the third party for the same cause of action not later than 7 days after the claim is lodged,  

  • The MRCA also requires the claimant to advise the Department of a successful damages award no later than 28 days after the damages are recovered, 

  • 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 third-party common-law actions, they should seek assistance via the Delegate Support Framework.
