Section 132 (3)

“Subject to this Division, if the former employee's 1971 amount was equal to or more than 70%, but less than 95%, of his or her normal weekly earnings as at the commencing day, the amount of compensation payable per week to the former employee under this Act is an amount equal to the 1971 amount.”

This section relates to former employees who were in receipt of a compensation benefit under the 1971 Act which was between 70% and 95% of their NWE.

The benefit remained at its 1971 Act level and was frozen (for the time being).  Section 132 (5), which is detailed below, explains what happened to these cases over time.
