352: Purpose of this Part

You could also call this:

"This part explains how old injuries are handled under the law"

This part of the law explains what it covers. It tells you how the Corporation decides if someone is covered for an injury that happened before 1 April 2002. This might mean using an older law.

The law also explains what help the Corporation must give for injuries from before 1 April 2002 if they're covered. This help is described in Part 4, this part, and Schedule 1 of the law.

There are also rules about how to review and appeal decisions made under old laws.

Lastly, this part talks about money matters. It explains how funds are moved from old accounts to new ones, keeps rules about payments that were due under old laws, and deals with other small money issues.
