WORKERS COMPENSATION RULES 2002 (NO 21 OF 2002) - REG 57

No prompt acceptance

    (1)     This rule applies if a party given a notice under rule 50, 51 or 52 does not accept the amount of compensation mentioned in the notice within a reasonable time after receiving the notice.

    (2)     The party may, before the arbitration begins, accept the amount.

    (3)     However, if the party accepts the amount, the party is liable to pay the costs the court is satisfied were reasonably incurred by the respondent employer after the day the respondent employer filed the notice or made the payment into court.

    (4)     The court may order that the costs payable by a party under subrule (3) be set off against any costs payable to the party, or be deducted from any amount awarded to the party.
