Section 16(1) of Cap 380 must be construed to require the Commissioner to use as the starting point either the s31G severance figure or the capped amount computed under s16(2)(f)(i), whichever is less, and then deduct any s31I benefits (eg MPF) to arrive at the ex gratia payment; the Commissioner does not have a general unfettered discretion to determine the quantum beyond that statutory formula.
