Protection from excess payments
49 Protection from excess payments
A worker is not entitled under this Division to receive, in respect of 2 or more injuries, weekly payments in excess of the worker's notional weekly earnings.
If a liability to make weekly payments is redeemed (whether under this Act or the repealed Act), the worker is taken, for the purposes of this
Act, to be receiving the weekly payments that would have been payable if there had been no redemption.
If a liability to make weekly payments is discharged under a deed of release under section 66(7), the injured party (within the meaning of that section) is taken, for the purposes of this Division, to be receiving the weekly payments that would have been payable if the deed of release had not been entered into.
