The GARP M 2016 applies to claims for MRCA PI compensation lodged before 1 July 2026. The GARP M 2026 applies to claims lodged on and after 1 July 2026.
Where a claim lodged before 1 July 2026 results in an interim determination, and subsequently is being finalised after 1 July 2026, the GARP M 2026 prescribes that the GARP M 2016 (in force at the time of the original claim) must be applied. This is because finalisation of the claim (i.e. interim to final) does not result from a new claim, it is just a continuation of the original claim. The GARP M 2016 was in force at the time of that original claim and therefore continues to apply in this situation.
