(1)Before a person makes a compensation payment in respect of the injury or death of a traffic casualty, he may apply to the Secretary of State for a certificate under this section.
(2)If the Secretary of State receives an application under subsection (1), he must arrange for a certificate to be issued as soon as is reasonably practicable.
(3)Such a certificate is to be known as a “certificate of NHS charges” but is referred to generally in this Act as a “certificate”.
(4)A certificate may provide that it is to remain in force—
(a)until a specified date;
(b)until the occurrence of a specified event; or
(c)indefinitely.
(5)A person may apply under subsection (1) for a fresh certificate from time to time.
(6)Subsection (2) does not require the Secretary of State to arrange for a fresh certificate to be issued to a person applying under subsection (5) if, when the application is received, a certificate issued to the applicant in respect of the casualty is still in force; but the Secretary of State may arrange for a fresh certificate to be issued so as to have effect on the expiry of the current certificate.
(7)If a certificate expires, the Secretary of State may arrange for a fresh certificate to be issued without an application having to be made.
(8)In the circumstances mentioned in subsection (9), a person who has made a compensation payment in respect of the injury or death of a traffic casualty must apply to the Secretary of State for a certificate.
