General Instructions
These instructions are for the guidance of persons compiling the returns under the A.C.T. Motor Vehicle (Third Party Insurance) Regulations, and persons signing these returns.
It should be noted that these returns refer to PERSONAL I N J U R Y ONLY. Policies issued in respect of property damage should not be included.
The number of claims should equal the number of individuals who have made a claim, so that one accident could generate more than one claim.

All money amounts are to be shown to the nearest dollar.
All totals are to be the sum of the individual entries.
All payments during the year should be shown, even though further payments may be

outstanding on the claim in question. Legal costs and expenses of investigation and settlement should be included and recoveries from owners and drivers are to be deducted. Payments and recoveries by way of re-insurance, and payments to Nominal Defendant, are to be excluded.

The four parts must, of course, be consistent with each other. The checks necessary to bring this about are outlined below, and arc to be carefully observed.
