- Court
- District Court
The Amending Act contains clear express retrospective words deeming it in force from 1 July 1992; those words apply to pending claims and therefore s.11(5) excludes persons who died before 1 July 1992 from coverage. The express retrospectivity must be given effect and the appeal is dismissed.
