           Civil Liability Amendment Bill 2013
This Bill amends the Civil Liabilities Act 2002 to:

     Allow a Court to award provisional damages where a plaintiff
     has established a claim for a particular dust-related disease so
     that further damages can be awarded at a later date if the
     person develops a different dust-related disease; and

     Allow for an award of damages for loss of ability to care for
     another and to set limits on when such a claim can be made
     and cap the amount that may be awarded; and

     Clarify that in section 28 the reference to "other courts"
     includes interstate courts.

     Insert a standard provision stating that the Act binds the
     Crown.
