Interest before order for payment
1 Interest before order for payment
Section 113 (2) (as inserted by the WorkCover Legislation Amendment Act 1995) does not apply to the ordering of interest on compensation for injuries received before the commencement of that provision, but the following provisions do apply to the ordering of that interest—
interest must not be ordered on any compensation payable under this Act for any period before a claim for the compensation was duly made or (where no such claim was duly made before the commencement of the proceedings in the Court) for any period before the worker gave the employer particulars (including, in the case of a claim for compensation under section 66, a supporting medical report) sufficient to enable the employer to ascertain the nature and amount of compensation claimed,
the provisions of paragraph (a) extend to proceedings pending at that commencement but do not affect any order for interest made before that commencement.
