Controversially, blood samples taken from Simon and hispassengers in that accident went missing while in the hands of theNamibian Police and its forensic investigation unit.Simon deniesthat he was driving the car at the time.APPEAL PENDING In the caseof the Belgian tourists, Simon was found guilty of causing theaccident and hence the death of the victims.He is free pending hisappeal against the conviction and jail sentence.The MVA Fund hasthe right to sue the driver of a vehicle in limited cases, such asdrunken driving.In Simon's case, drunken driving was notproven.Mainga said they would look into the outcome of Simon'scourt case.The cost of Simon's well-publicised crash comes amid aHigh Court settlement in which a British citizen, Kelly Ann Moss,was awarded N$80 million after a car accident near Sossusvlei inMay 2003 left her paralysed.Because the MVA Fund's liability had bythen been limited to N$730 000, Moss sued the driver of thevehicle, Marcelino Henckert, and his employers, Gold VentureLodges, for N$222 million, which she had initially claimed from theMVA Fund.A settlement was reached before the case went tocourt.Gold Venture Lodges' insurance company will have to cough upthe N$80 million.The MVA's Mainga said the Moss lawsuit "should bea warning to all Namibian drivers, owners of vehicles and employersof drivers because they are exposed to these kinds of unlimitedliabilities".Despite the MVA's N$730 000 cap, they "can still goafter other parties".This means each driver or vehicle owner shouldtake out additional liability insurance of perhaps N$20 million tocover themselves against similar lawsuits.ADDITIONAL COSTS Somepeople have criticised the limits introduced at the Fund, sayingthey provide additional administrative work and costs, whilemotorists are still left exposed to lawsuits although they aresupposed to be insured against third-party claims.Mainga saidNamibian motorists should take out "top-up insurance", especiallyconsidering that claims by tourists are calculated in foreigncurrencies that are stronger than the Namibia dollar.The MVA Fund'sCorporate Counsel, Justice Chris Greenland, said a draft bill todiscuss the current MVA law would be discussed at a two-day seminartoday and tomorrow.The bill is set to introduce wholesale changesthat would largely tie the hands of lawyers and accident victims inclaiming from the Fund.UNDESIRABLE PROVISIONS It would also do awaywith limits to the amounts that can be paid out, particularly formedical expenses, and instances where the MVA Fund is absolved frompaying compensation when, for instance, a vehicle crashes into akudu or a tyre burst causes massive injuries and death.The Chairmanof the Law Society's Standing Committee on MVA Matters, AndreasVaatz, says the proposed bill has a range of "undesirable"provisions that complicate claims and go against the purportedreason for overhauling the existing Act - to make it victimfriendly.Among the Law Society's objections is that the MVA Fund'smandate would be expanded to include running rehabilitationcentres, publicity campaigns, and making payments monthly ratherthan in lump sums.This would create administrative nightmares, theLaw Society feels.Vaatz argues that the MVA's proposal that itshould decide which doctors should treat victims could fostercorruption where doctors would clamour to become preferred MVAservice providers.
