# The Personal Injuries (Civilians) Amendment Scheme 1997, Paragraph 9


Except in a case to which paragraph 6 or 7 applies, where a claimant satisfies the Secretary of State that—
(a) he would have made a claim, an application for a review or, as the case may be, an application for an appeal on an earlier date than he actually did but for an administrative error on the part of the Secretary of State; and
(b) that error continued to be the dominant cause of the delay up to the moment the claim or application was made,
any reference in this Schedule to the date of a claim or application for an appeal shall be treated as references to the earlier date referred to in this paragraph..
