Legal Project Management Plan & Checklist
Use this fork when the CTP insurer has admitted liability for the accident and the matter is focused entirely on quantum - that is, the amount of compensation the claimant should receive. This fork covers ISV calculation, economic loss computation, the pre-court conference, and Mandatory Final Offer exchange.
Queensland, Australia. Quantum negotiations and conferences are conducted under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 (QLD) and damages are assessed under the and Civil Liability Regulation 2025.
With liability admitted, the focus shifts entirely to quantifying loss. An independent medical examination is arranged to assess the Injury Severity Value under the Civil Liability Regulation 2025. General damages are calculated using the ISV table (maximum \,100 at ISV 100 for 2025-26 FY). Past economic loss is calculated from the date of injury to settlement, and future economic loss is discounted at 5% using the Litigation Discount Tables. Special damages (medical expenses, travel, care) are itemised. Both parties attend the compulsory pre-court conference under s 51A. If unresolved, Mandatory Final Offers are exchanged under s 51C. A claimant who rejects an MFO and then obtains a less favourable judgment risks an indemnity costs order. If settlement is achieved, post-settlement compliance steps are completed including Medicare Notice of Past Benefits, Centrelink preclusion period, and trust account disbursement.
