- District Court
The 1992 Act's transitional provisions (ss135 and 145) govern continued entitlements; they do not preserve the 1982 Act's lump sum on remarriage or re‑apportionment of dependants' shares, and s145(3) mandates cancellation of weekly compensation two years after remarriage; therefore the appellant's claim relying on the 1982 regime fails and the Corporation is not estopped by its earlier letter.
