Workers Compensation Act 1987

For the purposes of the application of section 39 (Cessation of weekly payments after 5 years) of the 1987 Act, as substituted by the 2012 amending Act, to the compensation payable after the commencement of that section in respect of an injury that happened before that commencement, no regard is to be had to any period before that commencement in respect of which a weekly payment has been paid or is payable to the worker.

Note.

Section 39 limits the payment of weekly payments of compensation to a period of 5 years. Weekly payments made before the commencement of the weekly payments amendments are not counted towards the 5 years.
