265 Section 98C (Compensation for non-economic loss)
Section 98C, as amended by section 8 of the amending Act, only applies in respect of injuries that occur on or after the date of commencement of section 8.
The only effective changes made by section 8 are the inclusion of section 98C(2)(b), an increase to the formula amounts in section 98C(2)(c) and the inclusion of associated section 98C(2A). The other amendments made to amounts by section 8 were made for the purposes of consistency and merely reflect the amounts that applied under section 98C on the date of commencement of section 8 as a result of the indexation that occurred under section 100. Therefore nothing in section 265 affects those amounts.
