Part 2: Personal Injury Discount Rate Section 10: Assumed rate of return on investment of damages. Supplementary provisions under Section 10
Section 10(3) provides that the rate in force under the present law when section 10 comes into force (currently, minus 0.75%) will continue in force as if the order setting the rate had been made under the new provisions. This rate will be reviewed in the initial review (see Schedule A1, paragraph 2).
	Section 10 (4) makes consequential amendments to the Damages Act 1996. This includes the omission of section 1 for England and Wales and the insertion of Schedule A1, with consequent renumbering of the present Schedule to the 1996 Act.
