12. Jurisdiction of Claim
This is the state (ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC or WA) where the claim has been decided by a court judgement. If the claim is decided in a federal court, input the state where the claim was heard. However, if the claim is settled out of court, then input the state where the claim was settled, this would usually be the State or Territory in which the claimant resides.
A claim that never reaches the stage of a writ is an out of court claim.
Where an insurer has multiple claimants under the one claim and payments are made to each claimant, but in different jurisdictions, the jurisdiction of the principle claimant should be used.
If the claim was settled overseas, code the jurisdiction as that of the policy holder's principle address.
