or the determination was made, as the case requires, the agreement or
determination ceases to have effect.

under this section, but no later than 12 months after the date on which the
agreement was entered into or the determination was made.
(3) An agreement or
determination ratified under this section continues in force for 12 weeks from

determination made in respect of a claim for compensation has lapsed under
this section and no ratification of the agreement or determination under this
