Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts10. Exclusion from all benefits
(1) No benefits are payable under this Act for a person's injury or death in, or as a result of, a motor accident if the person:
(a) was, under a law of the Territory or another jurisdiction, criminally responsible for the theft or unlawful use of a motor vehicle involved in the accident (whether or not the person's guilt has been established in criminal proceedings); or
(b) was using a motor vehicle involved in the accident for or in connection with the commission of an indictable offence (against a law of the Territory or some other jurisdiction); or
(c) was using a motor vehicle involved in the accident to escape from the scene of, or to avoid apprehension or escape detention for, an offence (against a law of the Territory or some other jurisdiction); or
(d) was using a motor vehicle involved in the accident intending to inflict death or injury on himself, herself or another.
(2) No benefits are payable under this Act for a person's injury or death in, or as a result of, a motor accident if the injury or death:
(a) is compensable under workers compensation legislation; or
(b) would have been so compensable but for the fact that the person's injury or death:
(i) was deliberately self-inflicted; or
(ii) is attributable to the person's serious and wilful misconduct.
(3) If a person is excluded from benefits under this section and also (but to a more limited extent) under some other provision of this Act, the total exclusion from benefits under this section subsumes the more limited exclusion under the other provision.
