Workers' Compensation & Rehabilitation Amendment Regulations (No 11) 1999
Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 20 June 2000general_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Joint Committee reviewed amendments to Workers' Compensation regulations. While finding regulation 19M valid due to a Supreme Court decision, the committee expressed reservations about the term "major surgery" in regulation 19N, fearing inconsistent application. Despite concerns, disallowance wasn't recommended due to Parliament's intent.
Impact
Workers seeking common law damages for work-related injuries are affected. The regulations impact the process and timeline for electing to pursue damages, potentially limiting access for some workers, particularly those with slowly deteriorating conditions.
