The government of New Zealand has introduced a bill to make the claims process following a natural disaster easier.
The Natural Hazards Insurance Bill will reportedly make the the rules for mixed and multi-use buildings clearer, clarify regulations relating to repairing buildings and land following a landslip or other land damage, and simplify the excesses and calculations for retaining walls, bridges, and culverts.
A claimant code and a standing dispute resolution service are also to be introduced.
