122. Pensions to be inalienable



(1) Subject to this Part, a pension shall be absolutely inalienable, whether
by way or in consequence of sale assignment charge execution bankruptcy or
otherwise howsoever:

Provided that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Tribunal, with
or without the consent of the pensioner, from paying the whole or any portion
of the pension to any other person for the use of the pensioner or in
satisfaction to the extent thereof of any of his just debts or liabilities.

(2) Any person who demands or accepts from any pensioner under this Part any
certificate or any acknowledgment or undertaking that would constitute a legal
or equitable assignment of or charge upon any pension under this Part if such
pension were capable of being legally assigned or charged shall be liable to a
penalty of not more than $100.
