Checklist
- Section 6(3)(b) says the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 does not apply to personal injury that is a dust-related condition.
- Section 6(2)(c) also keeps employer damages regulated by chapter 5 of the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 outside that Act.
- The WorkCover page says a notice of claim for damages is submitted. That page is not dust-specific.
- No dust list and no court monetary limit were opened. State neither.
