# The Foreign Compensation Commission Rules 1956, Note: Explanatory note


These Rules replace the Foreign Compensation Commission Rules, 1950, and make a number of changes, including:
(1) Applications must in future be received within the time fixed by the Order in Council under which the claim is made; the times allowed for taking other steps in proceedings have been altered in some cases so as to prevent unnecessary delay (Rule 7, etc.);
(2) If the Commission approve, a father, guardian or other person may be appointed to act on behalf of an infant (Rule 8);
(3) Determinations of the Commission may be made by two Commissioners, instead of three (Rule 35).
