Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

If you are owed compensation under section 192 or 194 and more than one party must pay it, this section applies to you. The parties that may have to pay you are the Crown, the Emergency Management Committee in charge, or the local council. They must split the cost equally unless they agree to do something else. If they cannot agree, each party will pay an equal share of the compensation. You will get the total amount you are owed, but it will come from each of the parties separately. They will each pay one share of the cost.
