Chris Bartlett has published an Annotated Victims of Crime Assistance Act 1976 (Tas) with a brief commentary on important sections. The publication will be useful to practitioners who work in the area of victims of crime compensation and in personal injury matters. It addresses the inter-relationship between and impacts of entitlements to workers compensation, damages and the National Redress Scheme redress monies and compensation. It also addresses the principles behind the Act and the application of the Act to Tasmanian victims, extensions of time applications and how awards of compensation are determined.
The publication will be especially beneficial to those who appear before a Commissioner on applications, those working in Community Legal Centres, Legal Aid and related areas of practice.
