 A law reform Commission report has found that introducing a cap on damages awarded in personal injury claims would be permissible under Irish constitutional law. The review of damages was prompted by rising insurance premiums for businesses and motorists, which the industry claims is a result of excessive payouts being awarded during personal injury claims.
