WORKERS COMPENSATION AND INJURY MANAGEMENT ACT 2023 (NO. 21 OF 2023) - SECT 88

88 .         Clothing

        (1)         An expense is a miscellaneous expense if it is for the repair or replacement of clothing damaged or destroyed in the accident that results in the worker’s injury.

        (2)         Compensation for a miscellaneous expense under this section is payable as if the expense were incurred as a result of the worker’s injury.

        Note for this section:

                An expense under this section is incurred as a result of the accident and not as a result of the injury that results from the accident. Subsection (2) requires the expense to be treated as an expense incurred as a result of the worker’s injury because section 82 requires that for compensation to be payable for a miscellaneous expense it must be incurred as a result of the worker’s injury.
