ROAD TRANSPORT (THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE) ACT 2008 (NO. 1 OF 2008) - SECT 281

Transitional—personal injury claims

    (1)     This section applies to a third-party policy that was in force immediately before the commencement day.

    (2)     The third-party policy continues in force until the earlier of the following:

        (a)     the policy is replaced by a CTP insurance policy;

        (b)     15 days after the day the registration period to which the policy relates ends.

    (3)     If personal injury arises out of a motor vehicle accident that happened before the commencement day, a claim for the personal injury must be dealt with as if this Act had not been enacted.

    (4)     To remove any doubt, if personal injury arises out of a motor vehicle accident that happens on or after the commencement day, a claim for the personal injury must be dealt with under this Act, even if the accident happens while a third-party policy under the former CTP provisions is in force in relation to the risk.
