This instrument amends various pieces of domestic legislation to deal with deficiencies in the statutory framework for compulsory motor insurance that arise once the UK leaves the EU. It introduces a policy change, required as a consequence of leaving the EU, which is to remove the requirements for the Motor Insurers Bureau (‘MIB’) to act as a Compensation Body for UK residents injured in road traffic accidents in the EEA, and to reimburse its foreign counterparts in respect of EU27 visitors in the UK who have been compensated by their ‘home’ Compensation Body. The remainder of the amendments seek to maintain the status quo and contain no substantive changes of policy.

This instrument applies to motor insurance, which is a transferred matter for Northern Ireland under the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
