Compare: 1998 No 114 s 407 Paragraph (b) was amended, as from 11 May 2005, by section 60(6) Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act (No 2) 2005 (2005 No 45) by substituting “ 168A ” for “ 193 ” . Paragraph (b) was to be amended, as from 1 July 2005, by section 56(1) Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act (No 2) 2005 (2005 No 45) by substituting “ sections 168A and 193 ” for “ sections 193 and 202 ” . However, this amendment appears to be in error as “ 193 ” had already been substituted, as from 11 May 2005, see above. Therefore “ sections 168A and 193 ” was editorially substituted for “ sections 168A and 202 ” . Paragraph (b) was substituted, as from 1 April 2007, by section 13(1) Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act 2007 (2007 No 8). See sections 14 to 16 of that Act for the transitional provisions. Paragraph (g) was amended, as from 1 April 2007, by section 13(1) Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act 2007 (2007 No 8) by substituting “ sections 170 and 195 ” for “ sections 170, 195, and 205 ” . See sections 14 to 16 of that Act for the transitional provisions. Paragraph (j) was amended, as from 1 April 2007, by section 13(1) Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act 2007 (2007 No 8) by substituting “ 175(7) ” for “ 175(5) ” . See sections 14 to 16 of that Act for the transitional provisions. Paragraph (k) was substituted, as from 28 June 2003, by section 12 Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act 2003 (2003 No 29). Paragraph (n) was amended, as from 1 April 2007, by section 13(1) Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act 2007 (2007 No 8) by substituting “ Treatment Injury Account ” for “ Medical Misadventure Account ” . See sections 14 to 16 of that Act for the transitional provisions. Paragraph (o) was inserted, as from 1 April 2006, by section 56(2) Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act (No 2) 2005 (2005 No 45).
