To whom compensation payable
Cap. 303, s. 7 · Revised Edition 2020
(1) The compensation shall be payable to or for the benefit of the workman, or, where death results from the injury, to or for the benefit of his dependents as provided by this Act.
(2) Where there are both total and partial dependents nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing the compensation from being allotted partly to the total and partly to the partial dependants.
(3) Where a dependant dies before a claim under this Act is made, or, if a claim has been made, before an agreement or an order of the court has been arrived at or made, the legal personal representative of the dependant shall have no right to payment of compensation, and the amount of compensation shall be calculated and apportioned as if that dependant had died before the workman.
