19 Legal disabilities
(1) A claimant’s obligation to comply with this division is suspended while

under section 9 (4) a parent or guardian of the child may give the notice
mentioned in section 9 for the child.
(2) A period within which the
obligation is to be complied with begins when the claimant’s legal
disability ends and, to give effect to this part, this chapter is to be read
as though a reference to the day the incident giving rise to the personal
injury happened were a reference to the day the claimant’s legal disability
ends, and with other necessary changes.
(3) This section does not prevent a
claimant, or a person acting for the claimant, from complying with an
obligation under this chapter while the claimant is under a legal disability.
