ABSTRACT

In accordance with the Agreement made on 31 December 1945 between the Minister of War Transport and insurers transacting compulsory motor vehicle insurance business in Great Britain (published by the Stationery Office under the title ‘Motor Vehicle Insurance Fund’) a corporation called the ‘Motor Insurers’ Bureau’ entered into an agreement on 17 June 1946 to the principle recommended in July 1937 by the Departmental Committee under Sir Felix Cassel (Cmnd 5528), to secure compensation to third party victims of road accidents in cases where, notwithstanding the provisions of the Road Traffic Acts relating to compulsory insurance, the victim is deprived of compensation by the absence of insurance, or of effective insurance.
