Dear Treasurer
I understand, from an article published online a few hours ago regarding iCare, Richard Harding and the Robertson enquiry, that Treasury is concerned about the cost of psychological claims.
For more than two years now I have been associated, as an advocate, journalist and friend of AL’s, with her five year battle with iCare.
Ms. L’s case highlights how easy it is to scam the system by faking serious psychological injury, as CM has.
I have documented this case in forensic detail in letters sent to Premier Minns, Attorney General Michael Daley, iCare and the Personal Injuries Commission. These can be found at:

A combination of lack of due diligence and sheer bureaucratic incompetence on iCare ‘s part, aided and abetted by the equally incompetent Personal Injuries Commission, has enabled Mr. M to defraud the insurer. The bill for his scam will run into the millions of dollars.
This matter has caused Ms. L enormous personal and professional distress and damage over the past five years.
I recommend that you get someone within your office to read through my letters and complete a report for you. I believe you will agree, upon reading it, that it must be rendered impossible for the Mr. Ms of this world to get away with such a fraud.
That Mr. M will be able to spend the rest of his life being supported by the premiums paid by employers is a scandal that needs to be rectified by referring the matter to the Fraud Squad.
I believe that Ms. L should have her debt to iCare cancelled immediately, that the money she has already paid be returned to her, that a sincere apology be made to her what she has endured this past five years, and that she be compensated by iCare for the considerable loss of income she has suffered.
Yours sincerely
James Ricketson
