Bill 198 Auto Regime Under Review

In Ontario, the Bill 198 regime is the current system governing motor vehicle accidents.  It was effective starting October 1, 2003 and remains today.

As part of the Ontario government’s five year review plan, the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (“FSCO”) has given their March 31, 2009 report to the government for further consideration.

There are 39 recommendations, many of which deal with revision of the Accident Benefits regime.

Various reporting has been done, including the Toronto Star, Canadian Underwriter and other organizations.  We’ll keep you updated on this process.
