Question NW1120 to the Minister of Transport
25 April 2016 - NW1120
Majola, Mr F to ask the Minister of Transport
With reference to her reply to question 402 on 8 March 2016, what (a) is the deadline for the finalisation of the determination of the damages suffered by the plaintiff and (b) at what stage is Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa in this regard?
Reply:
(a) The plaintiff’s claim has not been finalised as yet because PRASA still awaits the plaintiff to prove of damages to PRASA. Proving of damages is done by way of medical expert assessments, and PRASA is informed that this is underway and will be filed with PRASA and the Courts once completed. The process will culminate in a trial date and ultimately the matter will be settled.
(b) PRASA awaits the completion of the medical assessments and the filing of the matter for settlement in court.
