- Court
- District Court
Section 147 sets date‑based limits that do not unlawfully discriminate by age and the court will not read in age‑based extensions or otherwise rewrite the statute; because the appellant failed to make the required written election by 31 March 1993 she is not entitled to lump sum compensation under s.147, and the appeal is dismissed.
