In the evolving landscape of personal injury law in Queensland, few cases highlight the practical application of the Civil Liability Regulation 2014 (Qld) quite like Ford v Baker & Anor [2025] QDC 43. This recent District Court decision centres on a motor vehicle accident involving an unrepresented plaintiff, raising important issues around medico-legal evidence, the challenges of self-representation, and the correct methodology for determining an Injury Scale Value (ISV).
