Accident compensation
Does a claim for motor accident personal damages have any time limit? If an award is made in a court but then transferred to a more convenient nearby court but never actually heard, does the original award stand (until the person dies???)

Your question is not very clear .
Personal injuries ( general damages ) - 3 years to make a claim ( apart from minors )
Special damages - 6 years
However , if the claim cannot be settled within the time periods , then proceedings would have to be issued to avoid the defendant , taking the limitation point
I am not sure what you mean by an award being made but not actually heard .
A court award would not be made without a hearing -
( unless of course the defendants did not respond to the proceedings ; and application was made to the court for judgement , against the defendants , by the claimant )
You may wish to clarify the question
