The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee for Transport was given the draft proposals for this new set of legislation on Wednesday, 3 February 2010.  They plan to have the legislation enacted during next year but the policy document, certainly as I understand it, will be published in next week’s Government Gazette and after that the public will be given until April only to comment.  I say April only, because this is based on a 2 000 page report by Judge Satchwell and the policy considerations are absolutely huge.  Amongst the changes:  No fault, no pain and suffering – even for serious injuries, no lump sum for future loss of income.  You can listen to the audio of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee meeting which runs to approximately 80 minutes, at this link on the  http://pmg.org.za/node/19788
