Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

HEALTH AND OTHER SERVICES (COMPENSATION) ACT 1995 - SECT 33

                   If:

                     (a)  a judgment or settlement has been made in respect of an amount of compensation; and

                     (b)  a compensation payer or insurer has paid to the compensable person a part of the compensation, but withheld an amount referred to in paragraph 32(1)(b); and

                     (c)  an Australian law would, apart from this section, make the compensation payer or insurer liable to pay interest on the sum withheld, because the sum is withheld after the judgment or settlement has been made;

despite that law, the compensation payer or insurer is not liable to pay that interest.
