Checklist
- The letter asks the holder to keep the records the lawyer names. It does not say the holder must produce them.
- Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 section 27 applies to a respondent after a complying part 1 notice. It then requires copies of directly relevant documents then in the respondent's possession about the incident, about medical condition or rehabilitation, and about cognitive, functional or vocational capacity.
- The time under section 27 is the prescribed period or, if none is prescribed, one month after the complying part 1 notice, and later material within seven days. Do not put those times in a letter that is sent before a complying part 1 notice.
- If the claimant requires information to be verified, the respondent does the verification. The tool writes nothing in it, and this letter does not ask for it.
