WORKERS COMPENSATION REGULATION 2003 - REG 215

215 Discontinuation of weekly payments after 104 weeks--injuries before commencement of section 52A

(1) Section 52A of the Act applies without any payment discontinuation notice being given and the worker concerned may apply to the Compensation Court under section 52B (1) of the Act for a determination of any dispute about the operation of section 52A of the Act (even though no such notice has been given), in the following cases:

(a) any case where court proceedings in respect of the weekly payments of compensation concerned are pending as at the commencement of section 52A of the Act (other than a case referred to in clause 14 (3) of Part 4 of Schedule 6 to the Act),

(b) any case where court proceedings are commenced after the commencement of section 52A of the Act, being proceedings that involve a claim for weekly payments of compensation in respect of a period of incapacity for work (resulting from an injury received before that commencement) that includes any period of incapacity beyond the first 104 weeks of incapacity referred to in section 52A (1) of the Act (as determined in accordance with clause 14 (2) (e) of Part 4 of Schedule 6 to the Act).

(2) This clause does not prevent the person on whom the claim has been made from giving the worker a notice informing the worker about the existence and effect of section 52A of the Act and alerting the worker to the application, or possible application, of that section to the worker. The giving of such a notice does not constitute an admission of liability by an employer or insurer under the Act or independently of the Act.
