What happened

This finding relates to a legal action launched by Kathryn Kirk against the Motor Accidents Insurance Board (MAIB) regarding injuries sustained in a car crash in Launceston on November 30, 2010. Kathryn Kirk had contended that MAIB had failed its statutory duty and that she and Daniel Kirk were not returned to their pre-injury condition.

Why it matters
