RAF moves to curb default judgments as legal reforms gather pace
The RAF has emerged from years of adverse audits with an unqualified opinion, while the government is reworking the Fund’s funding model as part of the revived RABS Bill.

The RAF has emerged from years of adverse audits with an unqualified opinion, while the government is reworking the Fund’s funding model as part of the revived RABS Bill.

The government says work on reviving the RABS Bill is nearing completion, even as critics warn the reforms could worsen the RAF’s financial crisis.

A comparative study of three compensation models finds that combining elements of each may provide a more balanced solution.

Unless the Road Accident Benefit Scheme Bill is retrospective, it may fail to ease the Fund’s financial burden for more than a decade, warn MPs.

The RABS Bill promises faster, no-fault compensation but has previously been criticised for limiting victim rights and excluding vulnerable groups.

Transport Ministry abandons RAF Amendment Bill and plans to re-introduce the equally controversial Road Accident Benefit Scheme Bill.
