Abstract
On April I, i974, New Zealand's Accident Compensation Act went into effect, abolishing virtually all lawsuits for personal injury. Such injuries are now handled through an insurance system financed from several different sources. Briefly stated, the scheme contains three separate parts. All workers are covered for personal injuries on and off the job under a plan financed by employers along the lines of workmen's compensation. Injuries attributable to motoring are financed from a fund produced by charges on motoring. Nonmotoring injuries sustained by nonworkers are covered from general revenue sources. All personal injury actions for accidental harm are abolished.'
