SAFETY, REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION ACT 1988 - SECT 108B

Licence can authorise licensee to manage claims

  (1)   A licence may authorise the licensee, or a specified person acting on the licensee's behalf, to manage some or all of the claims made by employees of the licensee under this Act.

  (2)   The scope of the licence, so far as it authorises management by the licensee of claims made under this Act, may be determined by the Commission.

  (3)   A licensee may at any time enter into a contract with another person for the management, on the licensee's behalf, of the claims that the licensee is authorised to manage.

  (4)   If the licensee enters into such a contract it does not come into force unless and until the Commission has varied the licence to note the identity of the person with whom the licensee has contracted for the management of claims.

  (5)   Nothing in this section implies that the scope of the licence, so far as it authorises management of claims by the licensee, may not extend to the management of claims that were made at a time before the licence came into force, whether or not the management of those claims has been commenced before the licence came into force.

  (6)   The scope of the licence, so far as it authorises management of claims made by employees of an eligible corporation, must relate to the same employees of the corporation as those covered by the scope of the licence so far as it relates to acceptance of liability.
