	(3)	The liability (if any)—
	(a)	of the owner or driver of the motor vehicle, or of a passenger in or on the vehicle, in respect of the death or bodily injury; and

	(b)	the identity and address of the person who was using the vehicle at the time of the event out of which the death or bodily injury arose.
	(8)	A person who was using a motor vehicle at the time when death or bodily injury was caused by or arose from such use must, upon the request of any person who alleges entitlement to payment under this section, furnish the person with the name and address of the insurer in relation to that vehicle at the time of the death or injury.

	(b)	a person who could have obtained a judgment in respect of that death or bodily injury against the insured person if the person were living or had been served with process, has given notice of a claim under this section and a short statement of the grounds of the claim as soon as possible after ascertaining that the insured person was dead or could not be found, or within such time as would prevent the possibility of the insurer being prejudiced by want of such notice,
the person who could have so recovered judgment against the insured person may recover the amount of that judgment by action against the insurer.
	(2)	Without limiting the scope of subsection (1), it is declared that a right of action against the insurer under that subsection in a case where the insured person is dead exists and has existed since the enactment of that subsection notwithstanding that the claimant has or had a right of action against the estate of the deceased person under the Survival of Causes of Action Act 1940 or any other law.

a person who could have obtained a judgment in respect of that death or bodily injury against a person insured under a policy of insurance in respect of the vehicle (assuming that the vehicle had been an insured vehicle at the relevant time) may recover by action against the nominal defendant the amount of the judgment that could have been so recovered.
	(2)	The nominal defendant is not liable to satisfy a judgment obtained against the nominal defendant, but the judgment and the nominal defendant's costs must be paid—

	(4)	Where a claimant fails to give notice of a claim in accordance with the requirements of subsection (3), and the court before which the action is brought is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the defendant has been prejudiced in the conduct of the defendant's defence by that failure, it may, if the justice of the case so requires, dismiss the action.

	(b)	if the total amount recovered in respect of the claim exceeds $25 000 but does not exceed $100 000—the court must not award in favour of the claimant costs in respect of the proceedings in excess of the costs applying under the designated scale unless the court is satisfied that there are exceptional circumstances justifying the award of additional costs.
	(2)	A court before which proceedings are brought in respect of a claim for which a person is insured under this Part must comply with the following provisions as to costs in relation to the defendant:
