This instrument is made under Section 215 of the Road Transport (General) Act 1999.

Section 215 of the Act provides that the Minister may appoint a resident of the ACT as the Nominal Defendant on the recommendation of the insurers authorised to offer Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance in the ACT.  Insurance Australia Limited, which trades in the ACT as NRMA Insurance, is the sole insurer currently offering CTP insurance in the ACT.

NRMA Insurance has nominated Mr Philip Newton, State Manager ACT and Country NSW, to succeed Ms Jillian Elizabeth Morters as the Nominal Defendant.  Mr Newton is a resident of the ACT.  Ms Morters’ appointment (DI2001-95, notified in the Gazette on 10 May 2001) is revoked by the instrument appointing Mr Newton.

The Legislative Assembly Standing Committee on Legal Affairs was consulted and has no objections to the appointment.

Mr Philip Newton is appointed until such time as this Disallowable Instrument is revoked.

This appointment is a disallowable instrument.
